Decisiveness and Accountability as Part of a Principled Response to Nonstate Threats [Excerpt]
|
|
|

July 28, 2006
The central institutions of the United Nations have substantially lost moral
authority since the Millennium Summit of 2000. The inability to act on issues
involving the use of force, the failure at the 2005 World Summit to agree on a
definition of terrorism, the Oil-for-Food scandal, and the perceived cronyism of
so many delegations have undermined the moral authority of the General Assembly
and the Security Council. Principled responses to international problems are
always desirable for ethical reasons. At a time when the legitimacy of
international institutions is challenged, they become important also for
political reasons. If an international organization loses legitimacy, its
effectiveness suffers. Without legitimacy, the best the United Nations could do
with respect to threats by nonstate actors, the topic of this roundtable, would
be to serve as a channel for concerted state action.
