More quotes by Mohamed ElBaradei

Mohamed ElBaradei
You either have a civil society or you dont.
Mohamed ElBaradei

Barack Obama has injected fresh momentum into efforts - stalled for a decade - to bring about nuclear disarmament.
Mohamed ElBaradei
Egypt under Hosni Mubarak had deteriorated to the status of a failed state. We must wipe the slate clean and start again.

Psychology is as important as substance. If you treat people with respect, they will go out of their way to accommodate you. If you treat them in a patronizing way, they will go out of their way to make your life difficult.

The simple fact is that there is a limited amount of water on the planet, and we cannot afford to be negligent in its use. We cannot keep treating it as if it will never run out.

Whether weapons exist in Iraq, Saddam Hussein or post-Saddam Hussein, it is a serious enough issue that require that we continue to go and make sure that Iraq does not have weapons.
Mohamed ElBaradei
I still believe that any country understands that if they use nuclear weapons, they will be wiped out of existence. They could be irrational in many ways, but I don't think they're irrational to the point that they're ready to annihilate their own country.
Mohamed ElBaradei
The Egyptians have grown in confidence, theyve tasted freedom, and theres no way back.
Mohamed ElBaradei

Mohamed ElBaradei
Well, first of all, we now have everybody with the exception of India, Pakistan, and Israel, and I dont think these three countries are going to join by simply providing them an incentive, in terms of technology.
Mohamed ElBaradei
I think one country with nuclear weapons is one country too many.
Mohamed ElBaradei
Egypt is indeed deeply divided. Without reconciliation we have no future. The Muslim Brotherhood is an important part of our society. I very much hope that it will participate in the next round of talks. I will be the first to protest if the imperative of fairness isn't adhered to.
Mohamed ElBaradei
We still live in a world where if you have nuclear weapons, you are buying power you are buying insurance against attack.
Mohamed ElBaradei
Challenging the integrity of the non-proliferation regime is a matter which can affect international peace and security.
Mohamed ElBaradei
If we are addressing the issue of weapons of mass destruction, we need to send a uniform, consistent message that there is zero tolerance to any country who is developing weapons of mass destruction, North Korea included.
Mohamed ElBaradei
Libya is a good example of a country that has come to a realization that weapons of mass destruction threaten more than assure, and I hope that will be followed by others.
Mohamed ElBaradei
Nuclear proliferation is on the rise. Equipment, material and training were once largely inaccessible. Today, however, there is a sophisticated worldwide network that can deliver systems for producing material usable in weapons.
