UN Says UN a Failure
The UN criticizes itself: U.N. Said Not Protecting Sudan Refugees.
GENEVA - The United Nations is failing to protect millions of people displaced by conflict in Sudan’s Darfur region and violence in other hotspots around the world, a U.N. report said Friday.
The world body’s approach to the problem of people who have fled their homes but not crossed any international borders “is still largely ad hoc and driven more by the personalities and convictions of individuals on the ground than by an institutional, systemwide agenda,” the report said.
Don’t be so hard on yourself, UN! It’s true you haven’t done everything you could to prevent the ethnic cleansing in Sudan (or in Rwanda, or in Bosnia), but after all, writing and debating and passing dozens of anti-Israel resolutions every year takes a lot of time. I’m sure you’ll get around to Sudan as soon as you have a few minutes free.
