由时任美国国务卿的马德琳攠尔布赖特(Madeleine Albright)牵头的把布特罗斯-加利赶下台的运动,展示出了美国政府对联合国的影响力有多么的大,而今天美国政府可能很难再现这种影响力。不过,这件事也提醒人们,与近些年相比,当年联合国对解决全球问题似乎发挥着更核心的作用。
Writing about the episode later, Boutros-Ghali said he had assumed a great power such as the US was steeped in the importance of diplomacy and international law. “But the Roman empire had no need of diplomacy. Neither does the United States,” he said.
布特罗斯-加利后来在文章里回顾这段时光时表示,他原本以为美国这样的大国深知外交和国际法的重要性。“然而罗马帝国不需要外交,美国也不需要,”他表示。
His relations with Washington became strained by the attack in 1993 on US troops supporting a UN mission in Somalia that left 18 American soldiers dead. Boutros-Ghali’s allies accused the Clinton administration of using him as a scapegoat amid the political recriminations that followed in Washington over the botched mission.
他与美国政府的关系趋于紧张,是由于1993年美国军人在索马里遭遇的袭击。这些美国军人当时正在支持一项联合国任务,那起袭击导致18名美国士兵丧生。布特罗斯-加利的盟友们谴责克林顿政府在后来华盛顿方面围绕这一失败任务爆发的政治对骂中把他当作替罪羊。
