Darfur and the U.N. reform
2nd of May,2006
What to do?. Good question.
What happened in Somalia with the U.S. and also with France arose a strong lobby against any intervention in countries in which the national interests weren’t related to the internal strives. A criteria (not always fullfilled) for intervention in third countries was then established on the same basis in many countries.
Intervention is something against logic and international relations but when genocide and ethnic cleansing is a daily activity intervention should be a must.
We must listen to other countries and cultures and acept them but there are a few limits nobody should pull down.
An international comunity is strong when establishes priorities, not based on priorities of the veto countries but on a rigid few international laws.
Darfur is one urgent reason more for a U.N. reform
