Chirac urges fairer world order
World order must reflect new balances, says Mr Chirac
French President Jacques Chirac has called for a sounder and fairer international order based on a reformed and strengthened United Nations.
Speaking in London, Mr Chirac said a world based on "the logic of power" would lead to conflict.
The French president is in the UK to mark the climax of celebrations of the centenary of the Entente Cordiale.
He said the West could not impose its values on the world and confuse democratisation and Westernisation.
"Granted, it is still possible to organise the world based on a logic of power," Mr Chirac told a gathering sponsored by the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies.
"Yet experience has taught us that this type of organisation is, by its very definition, unstable and sooner or later leads to crisis or conflict," he said.
He said that to create a fairer world order no state could act independently.
