Beyond the terrorism issue lies the huge question of arms reduction by member states, including even the possibility of nuclear disarmament. Here the UN can do little more than persuade, encourage, and use the bully pulpit, but such activities have considerable value, argues Angela Kane. The UN can also do something else: it can help the world community set standards, as in cyber security, “through the patient work of experts sitting around, coming up with results. Even if it’s at a low initial level, that’s when you build on every single step. It’s a normative effort, and that’s what the UN does extremely well.” Kane admits that “sometimes it takes a long time, but you cannot do this overnight.”
