It’s almost a century since it was proposed (by the British Foreign Office, not that they remember) that those sent to staff the League of Nations “are no longer servants of the country of which they are citizens”. The idea of an impartial international service, accountable to governments but working exclusively for the global good has proved both potent and fragile. It was Franklin Roosevelt’s favourite thing about the #United_Nations, where it was enshrined in the Charter; he told his inner circle he might resign the American presidency to run it.
