Effective United Nations

Famous quotes containing the words effective, united and/or nations:

    I know no method to secure the repeal of bad or obnoxious laws so effective as their stringent execution.

    The United Nations cannot do anything, and never could; it is not an animate entity or agent. It is a place, a stage, a forum and a shrine ... a place to which powerful people can repair when they are fearful about the course on which their own rhetoric seems to be propelling them.
    Conor Cruise O’Brien (b. 1917)

    Other nations use “force”; we Britons alone use “Might.”
