CALIGULA by David Sparenberg
The grand plan for remaking the world in his image crashed down around him. Yes, he had believed himself irresistible – an irresistible force with his destiny writ large on the pages of history. A shard from the glass ceiling of reality lodged permanently in his ice-cold heart.
Because he could not be God, he became the Angel of Death.
He demanded absolute obedience and yet could not dominate the spontaneities of life and chose the obscenity of mass graves for his enemies. He had enemies, nameless, faceless foreigners and neighbors – among minions and throughout millions – and nobody was to be trusted.

24 April, International Day of Multilateralism and Diplomacy for Peace was established by the U.N. General Assembly and first observed on 24 April 2019.

The Day stresses the use of multilateral decision-making in achieving the peaceful resolution of conflicts. Yet as the U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said “Multilaterism is not only a matter of confronting shared threats, it is about seizing common opportunities.”
One hour after Trygve Lie arrived in New York as the first Secretary-General of the United Nations in March 1946, the Ambassador of Iran handed him the complaint of his country against the presence of Soviet troops in northern Iran. From that moment on, the U.N. has lived with constant conflict-resolution tasks to be accomplished. The isolated diplomatic conference of the past, like the Congress of Vienna in 1815 after the Napoleonic wars has been replaced by an organization continually at work on all its manifold problems. If the world is to move forward to a true world society, this can be done only through an organization such as the U.N. which is based on universality, continuity and comprehensiveness.
