Are We Getting Anywhere in the UN? (1987-05-27)
About this film
Examiner: Ernest van den Haag A brilliant discussion of the United Nations? Well, yes. General Walters is the latest in a line of splendid American representatives to that body. As WFB relates in his introduction, General Walters has been on the spot for four decades-from attending the meeting between President Truman and General MacArthur on Guam, to arranging for the meetings of Henry Kissinger and Le Duc Tho in Paris. One sample from General Walters: "The first thing you have to remember about the UN is that of 159 members, there are about 45 democracies. So you've got to understand that the language spoken there is not the language of democracy. It's the language of the one-person state or the one-party state."
