• Es la única institución internacional que tenemos en la que los gobiernos se reúnen para trabajar colectivamente por un objetivo común. Las crisis internacionales, por definición, requieren soluciones internacionales.

Me parece, por tanto, que el mundo necesitará en un futuro previsible el mantenimiento de la paz.
