Summary Raino Maines, ‘Democracy in the United Nations. For and Against’, Forum for Development Studies, 1996: 1, pp. 5–34. This article concludes with four observations: - there are divergent and weighty reasons for preferring democratic procedures to other modes of decision-making in the UN. - there are significant moral and pragmatic objections against the existing constitutional structure of the UN. - U Thant's statement that ‘it is hard to imagine another system by which the voting in the United Nations could be more equitably arranged’ (Childers and Urquhart, 1994, 125) is problematic. - it is far from clear that any prima facie cogent call for reform of the UN succeeds in establishing that reform is called for, all things considered.
