Aggression is aggression, against nice chaps or nasty chaps. The United Nations
Charter makes no distinction. The Gulf War, between two independent states in which the great powers have no direct interest, is exactly the kind of conflict the UN was devised to prevent. Sir Brian Urquhart who recently retired as Under-Secretary-General for Special Political Affairs, examines the handling of the seven-year war by the international community, and the significance of new agreements between Britain, France, China, the USA and the USSR. With
Secretary-General Javier Perez De Cuellar ; Richard Murphy ,

Mohamed Sahnoun , Algerian Ambassador to the US;
Cyrus Vance , US Secretary of State in 1980: Sir Anthony Parsons and Donald McHenry , the representatives of Britain and the United States at the UN in 1980. Producer MICHAEL STEVENSON
