why I think so .. --- "In many conference, consensus is the only way in which decisions can be made".

To me, this sounds like, when decision needed be reached but can't, consensus is then used. it doesn't take into account whether the decision reached by consensus produce the best possible outcome. But then again, It is difficult to define the most desirable outcome, as countries have their own interest in mind. I know it is a bit ironic because in the end we need to make a decision to move forward. Please correct me if I'm not understanding this phrase correctly though.
