On the other hand, today we face unprecedented challenges and grave menaces.

We face growing challenges in the area of non proliferation, arms control and disarmament.

Major improvements have been made in the situation of young women and young men in many areas, but we are still facing great challenges.

In conclusion, for 10 years we have been facing grave systemic deficiencies in the efforts made to capture Karadzic and Mladic.

Almost ten years after having signed the peace agreements and in the context of a process that has been overall successful, we still face challenges in consolidating of the rule of law and promoting democracy.

Only by acting decisively now can we both confront the pressing security challenges and win a decisive victory in the global battle against poverty by 2015.

Today, we feel called upon to seek reform of the United Nations itself, for we are faced with the formidable challenges of development, security and human rights three challenges that are interlinked and interdependent and that cannot be addressed separately.

Coming to Grips with History

We are facing a violent crisis.

We are facing a violent crisis.

It is obvious that, if we want to make a real breakthrough and effectively face the challenges of the twenty first century, we need to succeed and make significant progress in all those areas in a mutually supporting way.

Soldiers IV! Are we on fire? IV!

We haven't had those kinds of problems yet.

But we are not facing the end of the world.

We are also failing in the application of soft power.

We also have to confront the serious degradation of the environment.

On a global scale, we are living in daily risk of terrorist attacks.

Some progress has been made, but we continue to face many difficulties and challenges.

We encounter obstacles such as the rejection of the European Constitutional Treaty in two referendums.

We are today confronted with the threat of self extinction arising from the existence of nuclear weapons.
