Vi må også konstatere, at den fremgangsmåde, ifølge hvilken der kun kan gennemføres aktioner, når FN's Sikkerhedsråd har truffet en passende afgørelse, ville betyde, at diktaturer som Kina også måtte give deres accept i hvert enkelt tilfælde ved iværksættelse og gennemførelse af FN-resolutioner over for et regime som Saddam Husseins, og dermed opstår der manglende handlekraft over for diktatorer som Hussein.
We must also point out that the way in which the United Nations operates, whereby actions are only implemented when the Security Council has reached an appropriate decision, would mean that, in order for UN resolutions to be executed and implemented against a regime like that of Saddam Hussein, dictatorships such as China would have to give their consent in each individual case. As a result, it becomes impossible to take action against dictators such as Hussein.
