Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Nomination of Madeleine K. Albright to Be United States Ambassador to the United Nations: Hearing Before the Committee on Foreign Relations, United States Senate, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session, January 21, 1993 The committee met, pursuant to notice, at 10:01 a.m. in room SH-216, Hart Senate Office Building, Hon. Claiborne Pell, chairman, presiding. Present: Senators Pell, Sarbanes, Dodd, Kerry, Simon, Moynihan, Robb, Wofford, Feingold, Mathews, Helms, Lugar, Kassebaum, Jeffords, and Coverdell. The Chairman. The Committee on Foreign Relations will come to order. We are delighted to welcome Dr. Madeleine Albright to our committee. She assumes a post as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations at an extraordinary time for that institution. Speaking as one who was present at the San Francisco conference which drafted the United Nations Charter, I well remember the high hopes, the aspirations that we had for the United Nations. But for 44 years, those hopes were frustrated by the cold war, they were on ice. Now we see the United Nations serving as the peacemaker and the peacekeeper that the founders intended it to be. In the last 3 years, the United Nations has undertaken more peacekeeping operations than in the previous 44 years. The Security Council is now at the center of global decisionmaking on such key questions as Bosnia, Iraq, Cambodia, and Somalia. The U.N. has also assumed a legislative function which we did not fully anticipate when we were in San Francisco. The environment, arms control, poverty, and commerce are global issues, and increasingly these issues are being addressed through treaties and directives passed by the General Assembly. Dr. Albright comes to the post of American Ambassador to the U.N. extraordinarily well-prepared. She has a distinguished career both in academia and in Government, and always at the center of the policy debate. As President Clinton said when he announced the appointment, she has come full circle since she came to the United States as the daughter of the Czech Ambassador to the United Nations in 1948, and now is representing her adopted country, her country of choice, at the same institution. I congratulate President Clinton on the appointment, and I am envious of the opportunity Dr. Albright now has to be present at the creation of a new world, and a world we had high hopes and aspirations for a short 44 years ago. I turn to the ranking minority member. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
