Re: UN ‘failed’ DR Congo rape victims
LOL. Yeah you stick to your story. I stick with the facts.
Actually the UN is not an independent entity. It is two halves that have very very different agendas. The UN - or what people call the UN is known as the Secretariat. That is UN staff works at the behest of the national Governments. Be it field missions or Geneva. The second portion that people do not know about is the political aspect. You see the UN is not run by the Secretary General. It is run by Pakistan, the US, Chile, South Africa etc. These governments decide what the UN can and can not do. They decide in the UNSC and UNGA. Basically 192 countries sit down. Negotiate. Decide what they want to do and then tell the UN what they should do.
That is why the US never got the legal authority to attack Iraq. That is why the war in Iraq and the actions of the US armed forces by law are illegal, crimes against humanity and the insurgency is actually a legally acceptable form of resistance according to the UN charter.
