在全球社会层面，联合国代表着全世界的公民 — — 联合国宪章所谓“世界各族人民”是也。 在社会层面，联合国代表着我们所有人 — — 包括我们的子孙后代 — — 的权利和义务。
At the level of global society, the UN represents the world’s citizenry, “we the peoples,” as it says in the UN Charter.  At the societal level, the UN is about the rights and responsibilities of all of us, including future generations.
