Notwithstanding that fact, and acknowledging that within the United Nations, just as within the European Union, there are regimes whose behaviour in terms of armaments and dealings leave a lot to be desired, we must have some point of reference. The only point of reference for me, one to which the Government still adheres, is the United Nations, imperfect as it might be. Many of these imperfections have been acknowledged during the years by successive Governments. We would all like it to rapidly evolve to a state of far greater perfection and effectiveness in terms of monitoring world order, its mandate when established. If one was to use any yardstick as to its success to date, it must be that since World War II, we have not had a world war. I tend to use this as a valid yardstick when determining how effective or otherwise it has been in terms of world order. It is true that we have come to the brink on many occasions but, at the end of the day, since World War II, with the United Nations in place, there has been a tremendous degree of consultation and discussion between nations which has enabled the world to move forward without another world war.
