Around the time of the 50th anniversary of the United Nations, this collaboration between The American Assembly and The United Nations Association gathered experts in government, economics, law, and military to explore the issues surrounding debates within the United States concerning the UN. In the years since the Cold-War's end,  U.S. administrations have increasingly referred conflict situations to the Security Council, and the two major parties have duly embarked on a rancorous debate. The report from this Assembly asks for a bipartisan solution that will allow the United States to work more effectively with the UN.
