May 2022: The US Continues to Keep Russia on the Defensive

The United States assumes the Security Council presidency in May,
as it also leads efforts to continue to isolate Russia in the UN
for its war in Ukraine. On this episode, we hear from US envoy to
the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield about the country's signature events
in the Council, and chat with Thomas G. Weiss, leading American
academic on the UN and Presidential Professor of Political Science
and Director Emeritus of the Ralph Bunche Institute for
International Studies at the CUNY Graduate Center. Links:
