Multilateralism and engagement
The US global security guarantee and UN collective security
Always engage : the United States and the Security Council
Sometimes engage : internal UN management and the General Secretariat, the buyout of the UN-that-works, and containment of the UN-that-doesn't
Parallel engagement : international development and global human welfare
Disengage and obstruct : the UN-of-values and the Human Rights Council.
