Abstract
As Mr Rabin observes, we have yet to achieve a new world order, and not least in the Middle East. The end of Soviet intervention in the area and events of the Gulf War have left America the dominant foreign power and brokers of the Madrid peace conference. Yet, however desirable, the peace initiative is beset with problems, including an arms race which too often benefits the economies of western democracies and states of the former Soviet Union to be brought sufficiently under control, and the spread of fundamentalist Islam in to Lebanon and, increasingly, the occupied territories. Mr Rabin highlights the need for a sustained international effort to support the peace process and stem the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, as it is only through the success of these endeavours that the hopes for a better Middle East, and a better world, can be realised.
