    Tracing our UN footsteps: Jim McLay outlines New Zealand's association with the UN Security Council
    in New Zealand International Review , January 1, 2011 ,  2011
    The United Nations failed Rwanda in its time of need in 1994 m when Hutu extremists went on a rampage that cost 800,000 Tutsi lives. It left undone those things that it ought to have done, despite pleas for action from New Zealand and the Czech Republic. Our principled and independent stance added to our mana at the world body. New Zealand, a founder member, has an interest in multilateral engagement m and this underlies its desire once again to take a seat on the Security Council. Multilateralism is one of the few viable ways to address complex issues in a multi-polar world, and, whatever its flaws, the United Nations is still the fulcrum of that multilateralism.
