French National Archives throw up new death warrant against UN SG Hammarskjöld. What else are French, UK and US archives hiding from us? All this partly explains why so many African states abstained from criticising Russian aggression in Ukraine.
@RichardGowan1@UN@JosepBorrellF Don't knock the Preamble's 'We The Peoples'. Clement Attlee, UK premier, explained thus to a House of Commons filled with MPs in military uniform.

@foreignoffice@DominicRaab@NATO NATO 'Forged from the ashes of the second world war'? Who wrote and who checked this text? That was the United Nations, not NATO which was 'forged' four years later and for different reasons. Where is the FCO's institutional memory these days?
