That episode, in turn, cast its shadow over the genocide in Rwanda in 1994 that UN peacekeepers were unable to prevent. In a 2005 interview with the AP, Boutros-Ghali said this was “my worst failure at the United Nations” but he also blamed the US, France and Belgium for preventing a broader international intervention.
这件事反过来又对1994年卢旺达种族屠杀产生了影响,联合国维和人员没能阻止那次屠杀的发生。2005年接受美联社(AP)采访时,布特罗斯-加利表示这是“我在联合国最严重的失败”。不过,他也将原因归结为美国、法国和比利时阻挠开展更大范围的国际干预。
When the conflict in Bosnia intensified, Boutros-Ghali again sparred with Washington, with many US officials accusing him of being too sympathetic towards the Serbs. The massacre by Serbs in July 1995 of 8,000 Muslims in the UN “safe zone” of Srebrenica was another searing blow to the organisation’s credibility.
在波斯尼亚冲突加剧之时,布特罗斯-加利再次与美国政府发生了争执,许多美国官员谴责他对塞尔维亚族太过同情。1995年7月塞族人在斯雷布雷尼察联合国“安全区”对8000名穆斯林展开大屠杀,令联合国的声誉又一次受到沉重打击。
With conservatives in the US turning Boutros-Ghali into a political punchline, the Clinton administration feared he could become a factor in the 1996 presidential election. Although he enjoyed broad support at the UN, Ms Albright persuaded enough countries to withdraw backing for Boutros-Ghali’s re-election and the Ghanaian diplomat Kofi Annan emerged as an alternative candidate that could win strong African backing.
