en français

If war is the failure of diplomacy, then ... diplomacy, both bilateral and multilateral, is our first line of defence. The world today spends billions preparing for war; shouldn’t we spend a billion or two preparing for peace?

                       
-- UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan (SG/SM/6149)
