The ICTI would be organized along the lines of the International Criminal Tribunal for Yugoslavia (ICTY), which was established by the Security Council.. » read more
UN: Israel Committing "Wanton Aggression" in the Gaza Strip
The behavior by Israel in bombarding Gaza is simply the commission of wanton aggression by a very powerful state against a territory that it illegally occupies. Time has come to take firm action if the United Nations does not want to be rightly accused of complicity by omission. The Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip represent severe and massive violations of international humanitarian law as defined in the Geneva Conventions, both in regard to the obligations of an Occupying Power and in the requirements of the laws of war. Those violations include: Collective punishment - The entire 1.5 million people who live in the crowded Gaza Strip are being punished for the actions of a few militants.. » read more
UNITED STATES VETO BLOCKS UN ANTI-ISRAEL RESOLUTION !!!!
Dec. 28, 2008 The UN Security Council has been unable to force an end to Israeli attacks against Gaza due to the intervention of the United States. Washington once again used its veto powers on Sunday to block a resolution calling for an end to the massive ongoing Israeli attacks against the Gaza Strip. The council has only been able to issue a 'non-binding' statement that calls on Israel to voluntarily bring all its military activities in the besieged region to an immediate end. The statement comes as Israel has begun a fresh wave of air strikes on Gaza on Sunday, killing at least six people.. » read more
U.N. Assembly Head Hailed for Blasting Israel
UNITED NATIONS, Dec 2 (IPS) - The president of the General Assembly, Father Miguel d'Escoto Brockmann, dropped a political bombshell last week when he lashed out at Israel for its repressive actions in the occupied territories, including the recent blockade of humanitarian aid to Gaza. "What is being done to the Palestinian people seems to me to be a version of the hideous policy of apartheid," he told delegates, during a meeting commemorating the "International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People". A senior U.N. official told IPS: "I cannot remember any Assembly president so publicly vocal in denouncing Israel.. » read more

UN Chief Calls for Reform of Global Financial System
Oct. 14, 2008 UNITED NATIONS, Oct. 13 (Xinhua) -- UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Monday called for "deep and systemic reforms" of the global financial system amid an ongoing financial crisis that has engulfed major markets around the world. "The ad hoc manner in which governments have had to respond to the management of this crisis is reflective of serious lacunae in the current world financial system," Ban said in a statement. "To ensure continued stability and protect the economic gains of both developed and developing countries, we need to consider deep and systemic reforms based on an inclusive multilateralism for a global financial system that can better meet the challenges of the 21st century," he said.. » read more
The Odd Couple of Global spirituality
Oct. 2, 2008 Miguel d'Escoto, the current president of the United Nations General Assembly, stole the torch from the world leaders attending the UN gathering in New York last week by single-handedly infusing a new and much-needed energy and importance into his role. It was a moment rarely seen before in the organization's history. Reform of the UN, particularly in regards to empowering the General Assembly, may have stalled, but the real engine for such changes are bold, outspoken figures like d'Escoto, a former Sandanista-sympathetic priest. Such leaders can instill passion and enthusiasm in a UN bureaucracy at present run by veteran bureaucrat secretary general Ban Ki-moon, who after two years is finally beginning to shed his intolerable reticence and bring out the ire within him.. » read more
United Nations Parliamentary Assembly One World Government in disguise
Wednesday, July 2, 2008 A UN-styled One World Government has just taken a great leap forward. “Little more than a year after its launch, an international campaign to bring democracy to the United Nations has achieved a landmark,” says a June 30 media release from Ottawa. Like most things UN, the international campaign has an innocuous sounding name, the United Nations Parliamentary Assembly, UNPA for short. The UNPA’s 500 parliamentary endorsers, from over 80 countries, including Canada’s Senator Romeo Dallaire, have all signed the campaign’s appeal. “In addition to the support of 519 current parliamentarians, the UNPA campaign has been endorsed by the European Parliament, the Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development of the Canadian House of Commons, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, the Pan-African Parliament and (most recently) the Latin American Parliament’s Commission on Political Affairs.. » read more
