Excerpt from The United Nations at Fifty: Before the Subcommittee on International Security, International Organizations and Human Rights of the Committee on Foreign Affairs House of Representatives, One Hundred Third Congress, Second Session, October 24, 1994 The subcommittee met, pursuant to call, at 10 a.m., The Board Chamber, San Francisco City Hall, San Francisco, California, Hon. Tom Lantos (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding. Mr. Lantos. The Subcommittee on International Security, International Organizations, and Human Rights will come to order. The subcommittee today will consider the topic, The United Nations at 50, and we will examine the past of this organization and consider its future as it reaches the half-century mark. The time and place of our hearing today are most significant. Today, October 24, as I am sure all of you know, is U.N. Day. It was on this day in 1945 that the Charter of the United Nations formally came into force and the United Nations officially came into existence. This is the beginning of the 50th year of the United Nations. The place of our hearing is equally significant. San Francisco is the birthplace of the United Nations. Here in this city 50 years ago, the organizing conference which led to the establishment of the United Nations took place. In fact, it was just across the street from where we are meeting today in the War Memorial Opera House that the organizing meetings were held in June of 1945. Today, as we commemorate the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the United Nations, it is highly appropriate that the Congress examine the future of the U.N. and the relationship between the United States and the United Nations in light of the U.N. s first half-century. When the United Nations was established in 1945, there were great - and probably unrealistic - expectations about the role that the U.N. could play in making the world a safer and better place. Initially those high expectations were dashed upon the hard realities of the cold war, and the U.N. had over four decades of Soviet vetoes and obstructionism. I do not want to emphasize only the negative. Since 1945, the U.N. has made enormous contributions to peace, to commerce, to development, and to the rule of law. But clearly, the U.N. did not live up to the initial expectations that were so high in 1945. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
