And yet, despite these bright spots, international cooperation on issues ranging from regional conflicts to the protection of global public goods remains weak. Antarctica, the only land in the world that is administered directly by the international community, is a recent case in point.
尽管有这些亮点，在从地区冲突到保护全球公众利益等领域的国际合作依然非常薄弱。南极洲这块世界范围内唯一由国际社会直接管理的大陆就是最新的例证。
