ONE NATION, UNDER THE UN :

France speaks out against US war plan (BBC, 29 August, 2002)

Mr Chirac told a meeting of French diplomats US threats ran counter to France's notion of collective security based on co-operation between states, respect for the law and the authority of the UN Security Council.

The "authority" of the UN Security Council? Boy, if the leader of one of Europe's major "conservative" parties really thinks that the UN is sovereign over the national security of his own state then there's just no hope.
