Abstract

BOOK REVIEWS B. Landheer, Ethical Values in International Decision-Making, Stichting Grotius Seminarium, The Hague. Once 'One World' used to be the catch-phrase on the lips of many of those working for greater harmony and co-operation in international re- lations. It ushered in the birth of the United Nations Organisation, and an apallingly large amount of people throughout the world seemed to think that they and their governments could all sit back and relax, since now U.N.O. was there and would be able to take care of everything. Nowadays, of course, most people are rather disillusioned about U.N.O. and such cries as 'One World'. Considering themselves more realistic therefore, they have turned to a new and more cautious slogan and are content to plead the virtues of 'Peaceful Coexistence'. In fact, we all claim to want 'Peaceful Coexistence' now. Or nearly all of us. The trouble is that we do not agree on what it involves. To some it implies the use of all means, short of a large-scale shooting war, to secure the adherence of the Non-aligned World to the 'Socialist Camp' or to the 'Free World' in the struggle for World Supremacy.
