Conor Cruise O'Brien Quotes

The main thing that endears the United Nations to member governments, and so enables it to survive, is its proven capacity to fail, and to be seen to fail.
Conor Cruise O'Brien

Conor Cruise O'Brien

You can safely appeal to the United Nations in the comfortable certainty that it will let you down.
