The peace plan for Cambodia in the early 1990’s, for example, dragged the country back from hellish decades of horrifying genocide and ugly and protracted civil war. Likewise, the Chemical Weapons Convention, steered through the UN Conference on Disarmament in Geneva, is still the most robust arms-control treaty related to weapons of mass destruction ever negotiated.
但我也有过一些关于最佳联合国的愉快体验。比如，20世纪90年代初的柬埔寨和平计划将这个国家从几十年的大屠杀炼狱和长期野蛮内战中解救了出来。类似地，联合国日内瓦裁军会议通过的《化学武器公约》至今仍是人们谈成的最有力的有关大规模杀伤性武器的武装管制条约。
