Peace enforcement is a much more difficult kind of operation than peacekeeping.
From Harri Holkeri
There are many challenges, there are many obstacles; let us try to change the obstacles to advantages.
If you come to a negotiation table saying you have the final truth, that you know nothing but the truth and that is final, you will get nothing.
Men and women have roles - their roles are different, but their rights are equal.
I do not want to speak about overpopulation or birth control, but I think education is the way to give new impetus to the poverty question.
Finland had a civil war less than 100 years ago, just like in Ireland. If you look at the history of newly independent nations, civil war is almost every time present, even in the United States.
You cannot make easy decisions unless you first commit yourself to hard solutions.
I really do hope that the Millennium Summit gives new impetus to the work of the United Nations.
There are big issues, like the reform of the Security Council. These kinds of questions are something the President of the General Assembly must keep his eye on.
We Finns represent a very transparent and open-minded way of reaching political decisions.
