Mr. Colm Doyle:

Despite its faults, the United Nations is the only global organisation that has universal support across the globe. That includes the superpowers. Many of the regional organisations simply do not have that. It is very frustrating for people like us here, who have a lot of experience, as the Deputy pointed out, at UN headquarters or out on the mission field, to see what is going on at the moment. Players in the Security Council who are solely looking after their self-interests. I will not name the countries because everyone knows them from the news in the past few months. Of course it is frustrating, but it is what it is unless it can be changed. The question is who will be strong enough and capable enough to effect a change in the Security Council.
