Statement by Mr. As we wave good-bye to the most tumultuous century in human history, recollection of actions taken or evaded by the UN Security Council reflects the modern History. The number of lives perished and shattered by local conflicts is not diminishing.
Conflicts are less manageable than the danger of a global war itself.
A large part of the country has been made uninhabitable. It did not take weapons of mass destruction. Mere ignorance of the obvious fact that there would be no winners coupled with uncontrolled arms flow and ineffective international sanctions regime were sufficient. As a result, massive famine and decease kill thousands and threaten millions. Conflict in the Great Lakes region of Africa was blessed with a glimmer of hope after Lusaka agreements.
