didn't believe that there is no imminent threat to international peace and security. |
I have no idea why my name or, in fact, any Pakistani name should have been pulled up. There are plenty of targets around, even for a fake plot. So, that was a bit surprising, to put it mildly, |
I think there is consternation and perhaps a sense of injury at the tone and substance of the letter. |
India should not have the license to kill with conventional weapons while our hands are tied, |
is that the inspections should be given a second chance. |
It is understandable that the patience of some important members of the Security Council is running out. All people of goodwill desire that all the possibilities for a peaceful resolution of this crisis should be exhausted before the council may decide to bring into play the enforcement mechanism. The decision for the use of force cannot be an easy one for anyone. For Pakistan, an Islamic country from the region, such a decision will be a most difficult one. And we would therefore like to see every effort exhausted for a peaceful resolution of this crisis. |
It's tough going, sometimes rough going, |
more importantly, it is imperative that the U.N. should be provided with adequate financial resources to respond quickly and effectively to such disasters. |
Pakistan is against nonproliferation because it is always accompanied by disarmament. If [disarmament is] applied to some countries and not others, it will be dangerous to the security of the world This is not an issue of reaching compromises on language, this is an issue of national security. |
The outcome of the summit was not all we had hoped for. The agenda became loaded as the process went along. |
The paper is far from our position. To be acceptable there would need to be changes. |
The whole thing is going to die by suffocation. |
There's a lot of talk but when it comes down to money our rich friends haven't done very much. |
They have been there for 25 or 30 years, every document on development. I don't think the world can change directions on a pinhead. |
This increasingly became the likely outcome over the past few days, if not weeks, so it's not a surprise. I think the next stage has to be a healing process. |
