"It is profitless to imagine a hypothetical world in which men no longer organise themselves in groups for purposes of conflict."Edward Carrclose your eyes. perhaps it was never real.
They say the international dispute resolution system is ineffective and the UN is a toothless organisation which hides behind its diplomacy and bureaucracy. I used to think otherwise.
Now my thoughts have somewhat turned. The recent discovery of the UN's action (or inaction) in relation to Rwanda and the shooting down of President Habyarimana has made me realise that not only is the UN toothless, it can also no longer apply moral principles if doing so will compromise the interests of its most important members.

what can i say? the writing bug has completely left my system!
I never believed in the UN. it's a global non-entity.
hoy, update more often! your reading public is starving!
I believe in the UN because at least it stands for something despite being utterly useless. Sometimes the ideal is more important, imagine a world without the UN?
Someday, I still hope to work for them.
amino, yes i'm beginning to feel the same way. it seems to me as if the UN's a talking club that embraces a policy of non-intervention even in the face of such catastrophic disasters! and yes i'll try and update more often :)
sway, you have a good point there. if the UN stands for anything, at least it gives certain countries hope. but i must say that hope is quickly diminishing !
