| | Author: | Annan, Kofi | | Date: | 1938- | | Quote: | What is clear is that when the sovereignty of states and the sovereignty of individuals come into conflict, we as an international community need to think hard about how far we will go to defend the former over the later. Human rights and the evolving nature of humanitarian law will mean little if a principle guarded by States is always allowed to trump the protection of citizens within them. |
