The Secretary-General of the United Nations is a unique figure in world politics. At once civil servant, the world's diplomat, lackey of the UN Security Council, and commander-in-chief of up to a hundred thousand peacekeepers, he or she depends on states for both the legitimacy and resources that enable the United Nations to function. The tension between these roles - of being secretary or general - has challenged every incumbent. This book brings together the insights of senior UN staff, diplomats and scholars to examine the normative and political factors that shape this unique office with particular emphasis on how it has evolved in response to changing circumstances such as globalization and the onset of the 'war on terror'. The difficulties experienced by each Secretary-General reflect the profound ambivalence of states towards entrusting their security, interests or resources to an intergovernmental body.

The trial of Czech Communist Party General Secretary Rudolf Slansky and ten other officials in 1952 was distinctive due to its clear antisemitic character: one of the accusations against the defendants was participation in an anti-Soviet Zionist conspiracy. This accusation took shape in the USSR, which was in fact behind this show trial, at a time when its relations with Israel had deteriorated and antisemitism became a component in Soviet internal and foreign politics. From the end of the war, Czechoslovakia had adopted a favorable stance toward the Jewish Yishuv and the State of Israel, providing military support as well; because of this, Czechoslovakia had to be punished by the Soviet Union, to become a scapegoat for the failure of Soviet attempts to penetrate the Middle East through the State of Israel.
