用《宪章》的话说，联合国成立的目的是“拯救子孙后代免受战争之害”。迎接这一挑战是本组织最重要的职能，在很大程度上，它是本组织为之服务的人民评判本组织的标准。在过去十年中，联合国一再未能应对这一挑战，今天它做得再好不过了。如果会员国没有重新作出承诺，没有重大的体制改革和更多的财政支持，联合国将无法在今后几个月和几年里执行会员国指派给它的关键的维持和平和建设和平任务。有许多任务是联合国维持和平部队不应该被要求承担的，有许多地方他们不应该去。但是，当联合国派遣其部队维护和平时，它们必须准备好对抗挥之不去的战争和暴力势力，并有能力和决心击败它们。
The United Nations was founded, in the words of its Charter, in order "to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war." Meeting this challenge is the most important function of the Organization, and to a very significant degree it is the yardstick with which the Organization is judged by the peoples it exists to serve. Over the last decade, the United Nations has repeatedly failed to meet the challenge, and it can do no better today. Without renewed commitment on the part of Member States, significant institutional change and increased financial support, the United Nations will not be capable of executing the critical peacekeeping and peace-building tasks that the Member States assign to it in coming months and years. There are many tasks which United Nations peacekeeping forces should not be asked to undertake and many places they should not go. But when the United Nations does send its forces to uphold the peace, they must be prepared to confront the lingering forces of war and violence, with the ability and determination to defeat them.
