Additional quotes by Mohamed ElBaradei

We must abandon the unworkable notion that it is morally reprehensible for some countries to pursue weapons of mass destruction yet morally acceptable for others to rely on them for security — and indeed to continue to refine their capacities and postulate plans for their use. Similarly, we must abandon the traditional approach of defining security in terms of boundaries — city walls, border patrols, racial and religious groupings. The global community has become irreversibly interdependent, with the constant movement of people, ideas, goods and resources. In such a world, we must combat terrorism with an infectious security culture that crosses borders — an inclusive approach to security based on solidarity and the value of human life. In such a world, weapons of mass destruction have no place.

Unilateral preemption should not in any way be the model for how we conduct international relations... [It] brings us into very dangerous territory and it could be used and abused by any other country. We need to continue to base our security on multilateralism, and on the Security Council.

دعونا نتخيل كيف سيكون حال العالم لو أن دول العالم خصصت لأغراض التنمية نفس الميزانية التى تخصصها لآلات الحرب؟! ولو أننا كنا نعيش فى عالم يتمتع فيه كل إنسان بالحرية والكرامة؟! تخيلوا لو أننا نعيش فى عالم يشعر فيه الناس بنفس القدر من الحزن لوفاة طفل فى دارفور أو فى فانكوفر! تخيلوا لو أننا نعيش فى عالم تتم فيه تسوية الخلافات والمشكلات بالحوار والأساليب الدبلوماسية لا بالقنابل وإطلاق الرصاص! تخيلوا لو أن العالم تخلّى عن الأسلحة النووية فلم يبق منها إلا آثار تعرض فى المتاحف! أى عالم سيكون هذا الذى يمكننا أن نجعله حقيقة واقعة نتركها لأبنائنا؟!
