around us. That would truly be a Utopian expectation. I mean’that the United Nations has often failed to remain true to itself and its own principles; it has failed to provide the guiding vision we need to help keep us on a straight path toward a better world. 305. Too’often,‘the United Nations has been abused in the service of narrow, selfish national or bloc interests. Too often, it has been used as a platform for voices ‘of hatred and bigotry-as in the case of the resolution 10 years ago equating Zionism with racism [General Assembly resolution 3379 (xxx)]. Too often, disputes and disagree- ments among nations and peoples have been magnified and exacerbated instead of being resolved through rea- soned debate and discussion. Too often, the purposes and principles set forth in the Charter have been twisted, dis- torted and manipulated in the service of goals antithetical to the. vision of the founders. 306. We can do better than this. We owe it to future generations to restore and maintain the integrity of this great institution. My country recognizes that it has an important role to play. We all do. The United States is committed to protecting the United Nations against harm ful and abusive practices. We are committed to ensuring that the principles of the Charter are honoured and adhered to. And we will remain committed so long as there is hope that the United Nations can continue to be a force for good. President Harry Truman said this 40 years ago: “We have solemnly dedicated ourselves and all our will to the success of the United Nations Organimtion”. Today, with our hopes tempered by realism, I can tell you on behalf of all Americans, our will has not flagged, and our dedication has not wavered. 
**Analysis**
The text appears to be a speech or statement about the United Nations, highlighting its failures and the need for improvement. The speaker mentions the UN's principles, charter, and the importance of protecting the organization from harm. The focus is on the organization's integrity and its role in promoting a better world. Given the context and content, it seems that the text is more concerned with the UN's role in international relations and governance rather than a specific area like economic development or health.
