 World Policy Journal - Spring 2005
Suspicions at the United Nations were so sharp that this was immediately seen as an attempt by the Bush administration to dominate global relief in the biggest natural disaster in memory, thus marginalizing the United Nations in one of its major roles of coordinating international aid.
Annan, who was largely silent, heard the group warn that the United Nations was on the losing side of a public relations campaign; that the critique of the oil-for-food affair would soon be followed by allegations of sexual abuse by U.N. peacekeepers in Africa; and that he had to address two serious problems immediately.
The United Nations now stands at bay in a confrontation that is protean in the way it sets the physical power of the world's only superpower against the moral power of the international body.

 The Apparitions at Banneux
Mary spoke to her: "This spring is reserved for all the nations - to relieve the sick." Finally Mariette repeated the last words of the Lady for this apparition, which only lasted about seven minutes: "I shall pray for you.
Six people were present on this cold, moonlit, Saturday evening, and after reaching the spring, with similar genuflections as before, Mariette plunged her hand into the water and blessed herself, while appearing to listen intently to someone.
On Monday 20 February, Mariette again made her way to the spring, just over a hundred yards away, and was able to report Mary's words as being simply: "My dear child, pray much." The final apparition, the eighth, took place on 2 March 1933.

 NWC Review, Spring 1998: Schmitt
First and foremost, the Cold War was over, and nations were now free to consider nuclear weapons in terms of the general threat they represent to the global community rather than of their deterrent utility in a bipolar, nuclearized paradigm.
At the same time, the overall United Nations system is one of complementary, not overlapping or contradictory, components; questions concerning the use of force are properly the province of other UN entities (especially the Security Council), not the WHO.
The argument was conclusory, as the Court was quick to point out; the nations arguing against illegality were unable to suggest examples of nuclear weapons use that might actually comport with the requirements of humanitarian law.

It would break one of the key log-jams in the current UN system, namely the insistence by troop contributing nations that they authorise the use of their national forces prior to each deployment.

 LITUANUS. Vol. 39, No. 4 - Winter 1993
He was against the superiority of interests of one nation over the general interests of the entire region and propagated equal rights for the nations of historical Lithuania to free economic and ethnic-cultural development.
Such a theory was based on the imperialistic, mechanic, aristocratic principle of the restoration of the historical Lithuanian-Polish state, on the principle, in Römer's words, of distrust to young nations because they were morally and mentally incapable of maintaining their independence and needed leadership and order themselves.
The latter was composed of representatives from all Polish parties in Galicia and was established as a political institution for the supervision of Pilsudski's Legions.
