...Russia is cooperating with the U.S. and Britain in the U.N. Security Council, enabling Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali to exert more influence than any of his predecessors on the contending parties in the Cyprus dispute...
...fresh United Nations troops to escort relief convoys from the Adriatic port of Split to the besieged capital of Sarajevo. "The Serbs may discover that it is in their interest -- you have to persuade them that it is in their interest -- to negotiate," says U.N. Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali.

Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali crudely referred to as a "rich man's war." It logically implies that U.N. intervention in Eastern Europe should be matched by similar action in other catastrophic conflicts: in Somalia, Ethiopia, Burundi, Burma and elsewhere. By the same token, this new world cannot be managed unilaterally by the U.S. but must instead work from the consent of all major powers around the globe. It would have...
