The world has changed greatly since I left the White House. Now there is only one superpower, with unprecedented military and economic strength. The coming budget for American armaments will be greater than those of the next fifteen nations combined, and there are troops from the United States in many countries throughout the world.
But instead of entering a millennium of peace, the world is now, in many ways, a more dangerous place. The greater ease of travel and communication has not been matched by equal understanding and mutual respect. . (46)There is a plethora of civil wars, within which an overwhelming portion of the casualties are unarmed civilians who have no ability to defend themselves. And recent appalling acts of terrorism have reminded us that no nations, even superpowers, are invulnerable.
(47)It is clear that global challenges must be met with an emphasis on peace, in harmony with others, with strong alliances and international consensus. Imperfect a it may be, there is no doubt that this can best be done through the United Nations. (48)We must remember that today there are at least eight nuclear powers on earth, and three of them are threatening to their neighbors in areas of great international tension. For powerful countries to adopt a principle of preventive war may well set an example that can have catastrophic consequences.
(49)If we accept the premise that the United Nations is the best avenue for the maintenance of peace, then the carefully considered decisions of the United Nations Security Council must be enforced. All too often, the alternative has proven to be uncontrollable violence and expanding spheres of hostility. (50)I am not here as a public official, but as a citizen of a troubled world who finds hope in a growing consensus. The hope, namely, is that the generally accepted goals of society are peace, freedom, human rights, environmental quality, the alleviation of suffering, and the rule of law.
During the past decades, the international community, usually under the auspices of the United Nations, has struggled to negotiate global standards that can help us achieve these essential goals. They include: the abolition of land mines and chemical weapons; an end to the testing, proliferation, and further deployment of nuclear warheads; constraints on global warming; prohibition of the death penalty, at least for children; and an international criminal court to deter and to punish war crimes and genocide. Those agreements already adopted must be fully implemented, and others should be pursued aggressively.
46 世界上仍然有许多内战,大部分内战的死难者是那些手无寸铁而无力自卫平民.
47 显然,全球性挑战必须用与他国和睦相处,结成翁姑的联盟和国际共识的和平手段来应对.
48 我们必须牢记,今天的地球上至少有八个拥有核武器的国家,其中的三个正在充满国际紧张局势的地区威胁着它们的邻国.
49 我们接受联合国是最好的维护和平的途径这一前提,那么联合国安理会经过谨慎考虑的决定就必须得到执行.
50 我并不是作为一名政府官员,而是作为一个动乱世界的公民来到这里,并在日益增长的共识中发现了希望.
