attenuate

The way the world has changed over recent decades has rendered obsolete the approach to international relations founded on national interests and the balance of power, an approach the UN system has attenuated without, however, having managed to change the foundations.
L’évolution du monde au cours des dernières décennies rend caduque une pratique des relations internationales fondée sur les intérêts nationaux et les rapports de forces que le système onusien a certes atténuée mais sans pour autant en avoir changé les fondements.
