But the UN has become the “general operator” for global conferences, acting as administrator and furnisher of services and facilities (such as locations and interpreters) for events that are not officially part of its core operations. As a result, the UN is increasingly taking the blame for these conferences’ failures, which not only leave the issues unresolved, but also undermine the UN’s authority.
《联合国宪章》规定促进国际安全是联大和安理会的主要任务。但联合国已经成为全球会议的“总体运作者”，并为实际不属于其核心任务的各式会议扮演着管理者及服务和设施（如会议地点和口译人员）提供者的角色。结果导致联合国越来越多地为这些会议的失败而承担指责，这样做不仅不能解决问题，而且还导致联合国的权威遭到削弱。
