More people have been killed in the conflict in Darfur than during the entire Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Yet the United Nations is fixated on punishing Israel for weapons they may have used.
Kofi Annan has
admitted today that they have some priority problems at the UN. Would have been a little more useful if you had said something when you weren't about to depart as Secretary General, Kofi.
The United Nations Human Rights Council should broaden its focus beyond
the Palestinian-Israeli issue to avoid accusations it is one-sided, UN
Secretary-General Kofi Annan said Tuesday.
Speaking to reporters in Geneva for the last time before he steps
down as secretary-general at the end of the year, Annan said the
council’s preoccupation with Israel’s actions in Lebanon and the
Palestinian territories while ignoring the situation in Darfur had
caused some to wonder whether it had “a sense of fair play.”
