U N marks fifth anniversary amid Cold War rift
In New York on April 25 the United Nations marks five years since its charter opening. Russia’s boycott and China’s Nationalist seat dispute thrust the UN into crisis. Secretary General Trygve Lie seeks a slow collapse of Cold War tensions and a possible special Security Council meeting on atomic controls and disarmament. The organization is praised for halting wars in Palestine, Indonesia, and Kashmir and aiding refugees, but critics doubt its ability to fulfill one world aims.
