Summary
[W]e are ushering in an epoch of law among peoples and of justice among nations. The UN Security Council's task is a heavy one, but it will be sustained by our hope, which is shared by the people, and by our remembrance of the sufferings of all those who fought and died that the rule of law might prevail.
French Ambassador Vincent Auriol, at the inaugural meeting of the UN Security Council 17 January 1946We meet at the hinge of history. We can use the end of the Cold War to get beyond the whole pattern of settling conflicts by force, or we can slip back into ever more savage regional conflicts in which might alone makes right. We can take the high road towards peace and the rule of law, or we can take Saddam Hussein's path of brutal aggression and the law of the jungle.
US Secretary of State James Baker, when the Council authorised the use of force against Iraq 29 November 1990This Council has a very heavy responsibility to promote justice and the rule of law in its efforts to maintain international peace and security.
UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, at the Council's meeting on justice and the rule of law 24 September 2003- Type
