• When you have difficult issues on the table for discussion, then sometimes for Africa you may have Burundi or Gambia representing them on the Security Council; and then for Latin America you may have a country like Costa Rica, which is a wonderful country but they don't have the same weight as others from the other regions. And sometimes they get bullied. Sometimes their capitals come under lots of pressure to take a position.

• Good, healthy democratic societies are built on three pillars: there's peace and stability, economic development, and respect for rule of law and human rights. But often, we take stability - peace in terms of security and economic activity - to mean a country is doing well. We forget the third and important pillar of rule of law and respect for human rights, because no country can long remain prosperous without that third pillar.

• La primavera árabe me recuerda un poco al proceso de descolonización en el que un país consigue la independencia y todos los demás la quieren. ¿Y nosotros, cuándo la conseguiremos, cuándo daremos el paso? Y tenemos una situación en la que alguien lleva décadas en el poder, en la que la integridad de las elecciones, la democracia y la seguridad no se han debatido ni discutido realmente y la mayoría de la gente sospecha que las elecciones están amañadas y que la rotación democrática que se supone que las elecciones deben garantizar no se produce realmente. Y cuando esto se prolonga durante un tiempo se está sentado sobre un polvorín.

• The report produced by my commission, the Global Commission on Elections, Democracy and Security, in 2012 showed the corrosive impact of money in US politics, for example, which undermines the legitimacy of the democratic system in citizens' eyes. Such perceptions partly explain the rise of a phenomenon like the success of Donald Trump.

• A menudo he dicho que tenemos dos Naciones Unidas: la ONU que es una Secretaría, que ejecuta los mandatos que le confían la Asamblea General y el Consejo de Seguridad, y la ONU que son los Estados miembros que se sientan en el Consejo, toman las decisiones, entregan los mandatos o toman decisiones en la Asamblea General.

• The other thing that really I regretted not being able to do was to push effectively for the reform of the Security Council. Because the world was changing, and is changing very fast, and I felt the UN was holding on to old arrangements. Most governments felt that it has such a narrow power base, based on the results of the second world war.

• The [UN Security Council] P5 ought to be dissuaded from using their veto power, which can paralyze the United Nations. The country blocking action ought to have to explain its decision and propose an alternative solution. It has been suggested that a veto only becomes effective if the vetoing state has the support of two or three other permanent members.
