Quote by Dwight D Eisenhower

Should a nation which attacks and occupies foreign territory in the face of United Nations disapproval be allowed to impose conditions on its own withdrawal?

Should a nation which attacks and occupies foreign territory

Summary

This quote raises the question of whether a nation that attacks and occupies foreign territory, despite United Nations disapproval, should have the right to dictate the terms of its own withdrawal from that territory. The quote challenges the notion of allowing an aggressor to have control over the situation and calls into question the legitimacy of their actions. It suggests that the occupying nation should not be granted the ability to impose conditions on its withdrawal, as this would undermine the authority of the United Nations and potentially perpetuate the violation of international law.
