I’m From the UN and I’m here to Help

(Note my use of a Star Wars fan film in the link is not an endorsement whatsoever)

“The UN: We also Rape Children.” That’s the reality and it is getting more and more obvious every day. The UN aides and abets in the theft of money meant to feed starving Iraqi’s. Sexual Harassment of employees and the list goes on and on.

I’ve heard from former UN employees tales of the peacekeepers selling themselves to rival factions as mercenaries... this issues of corruption are nothing new, what is new is the United States and many other nations are tiring of it.

We’ve heard tales of piecemeal reforms coming from the desk of Kofi Annan, but I think piecemeal isn’t going to cut it. It’s not going to make these wounds heal.

I think we need a New UN. We need a UN with some degree of balance. We need to have both equal representation for Nations, but some thing to weigh the realities to the power bases of the Nations in the world. We need to see to it that Nations who commit on a regular basis crimes against humanity are not put in charge of setting the standards.

We need to put in rules and safeguards which prevent Nations like Israel from being singled out, while neighbors get away with the same and worse.
