QUOTES

There’s no longer a superpower standoff. But there are real problems that divide countries around the world. And the UN is still the place where we can get together and try and discuss them

universality of the UN is a worthwhile thing in its own self because it means that every country belongs, feels it has a stake, and participates, rather than going away and finding other methods of conducting international relations.

during the Cold War, the United Nations brought about the extraordinary miracle of decolonization, and it did help the Cold War from turning hot by actually creating, inventing the whole idea of peacekeeping, which manage to defuse conflicts around the world and prevented from igniting a superpower clash.

United is an aspiration, but don't forget during the Cold War Stalin was a member of the United Nations as the Soviet Union was, as was the U.S. It's a place where countries can get together, tend to find common approaches to problems, and work together to solve them. And where they disagree, they probably disagree really under the roof of the United Nations than on the back of it.
