More Details

Summary:

In August 1991, on the first anniversary of Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait, President George H.W. Bush declared: “The liberation of Kuwait was an unprecedented effort, one that brought together most of the international community … and always consistent with the principles and resolutions of the United Nations.” Yet just one month later, U.N. Secretary General Javier Perez de Cuellar’s annual report characterized the organization’s efforts to resolve the Kuwait crisis as “a startling failure of collective diplomacy.” This case study, created for the Carnegie Council on Ethics and International Affairs, looks at ways to reconcile those two interpretations. Other case studies that could usefully be assigned on this general topic include “Diplomacy during the Persian Gulf War” (Case Study 169) and “Forging Consensus: The Western Alliance and the Invasion of Kuwait” (Case Study 171).
