Emmerson Mnangagwa has lauched Constantino Chiwenga’s book titled “Goose or Gander: The United Nations Security Council and the Ethic of Double Standards”.
The book chronicles how the United Nations Security Council led by Western countries abuse the veto power for self-serving interests.
The book uses the invasion of Iraq and Libya as a case study, where the superpowers were instrumental in effecting illegal regime change.
Chiwenga said he was partly motivated to write the book following a foiled attempt by the United States and Britain to impose sanctions on Zimbabwe using the United Nations framework.
The attempt failed after China and Russia exercised their veto power.
The event was attended by renowned academics who gave reviews, analyses and summary of the seminal work by VP Dr Chiwenga. These included Dr Phyllis Johnson, Professor Ngwabi Bhebhe and Lieutenant General (Retired) Dr Engelbert Rugeje.
Phyllis Johnson gives her perspective of the book, Goose or Gander.
The UN was formed 75 years ago. Why is Africa not represented in the Security Council 75 years later. We are talking of over a billion people not represented at that level.#GooseOrGander pic.twitter.com/JONoD7Oz2x— Nick Mangwana (@nickmangwana) December 16, 2020
