“lint,” DePinies said, “the sad fact
today is that all General Assembly
decisions on the maintenance of in
ternational peace and security are
recommendations to the Security
Council.”
DePinies acknowledged that prob
lems left unresolved by Security
Council vetoes are enough to
prompt questions about the U.N.’s
effectiveness.
“The answer is simple," he said.
“The United Nations does as much
as its member states want it to do. . . .
“Let us not blame the United Na
tions. Blame instead those who
would paralyze it without just cau
se.”
DePinies said the permanent
council members’ veto power is the
reason the principle of one-country,
one-vote exists in the U.N. General
Assembly. The assembly is the only
major part of the U.N. in which all
members are represented.
But even that principle gets

tastrophe — because nobody
wants to abide by the decisions
undertaken by the United Na
tions. It’s a very delicate problem.
I think nothing is worse than to
go hack to the Middle Ages. And
as you might recollect, according
to what the Iranians say for them,
this is a religious war. You might
remember how much misery reli
gious war brought the Middle
East in the Middle Ages. But you
see, that’s what they have done —
to go back to the Middle Ages.
I don’t think all the Iranians
think the same way, because they
have known some other things.
So far I think that the (best) in
terests of both superpowers and
people at large will be that the
conflict finishes — and, if not.
that it gets balance. I think we’ll
have to wait until one of the two
chiefs of state passes away... .
The casualties are larger in
Iran. But the Iraqis have their
share as well. I think it’s a war of
attrition.

And you might say why doesn’t
the United Nations cope with it?
The United Nations /ia.s coped
