Security Council must be abolished

RE: U.N. marks death camp liberation

"With calls of `never again,' the United Nations General Assembly
commemorated the 60th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi death
camps ..." — this is sheer hypocrisy.

The U.N. could have prevented the genocide of more than 800,000 people
in Rwanda. (The U.N. was alerted well in advance of the planned
massive killings of the minority Tutsis.) In the case of Bosnia, the
U.N. not only failed at preventing the genocide of more than 200,000
Bosnians, but played a part in guaranteeing it.

The permanent members of the U.N. Security Council consistently
rejected calls by the tremendous majority of the U.N. General Assembly
to allow the government of Bosnia-Herzegovina to defend its people
from genocide. Actually, this stance by the U.N. Security Council went
totally against its own U.N. article 51 which gives every U.N. member
state the right to self-defence. Bosnia, which was a sovereign U.N.
member state, was denied that right.

The UN is a hypocrisy.

Boot out every nation deemed to be undemocratic and only trade within
the democratic nations.

Of course that will not happen under the current situations.

Perhaps with the end in the trade of fuels this could move forward.

And obviously we'd need to continue to help the victims of these
undemocratic nations via the usage of the red cross, etc.

Who 'deems'? If nations get 'booted out' then the UN would be just
another trading/political bloc.

The purpose of the UN is not to bring friends together but enemies.
