For a brief moment after a broad coalition of countries acted together to force Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait in 1991, it looked like the original concept of collective security would become “a new world order.” Such hopes were short-lived.
当多个国家的联盟共同行动在1991年将萨达姆驱逐出科威特以后，在很短的一段时间里，集体安全的最初概念似乎会成为一种“世界新秩序”。但这样的希望只是昙花一现。1999年的科索沃和2003年的伊拉克问题都证明了在联合国内部不能达成共识。
