The problem...@ Ram: Yes, you are absolutely right. The problem is that if it is not a systematic and organised attempt to murder all of the members of a particular group, then the United Nations cannot intervene. If it is indeed a civil war or armed insurgents with a resultant humanitarian crisis, then it is not within the remit of the United Nations to intervene.<br /><br />This is why I call into question whether the United nations is relevant. When I ask this question, I am asking whether their current structure allows them to do everything they need to be doing. I don't think it does and I think they need to expand their remit.<br /><br />For the moment though, I believe there is enough evidence to support the notion that this is indeed a genocide, that is a systematic attempt to exterminate a certain group of people, and therefore, the United nations and indeed individual nations needs to intervene.<br /><br />@ gaelikaa: Thank you for your kind comments. <br /><br />@ Little London: Cool - maybe I should think of contributing one day.Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11931248631361366673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7698167516686409999.post-39068418943526953952009-08-05T14:16:30.388+01:002009-08-05T14:16:30.388+01:00Hi Emm,
Thanks so much for the compliments on my...Hi Emm, <br /><br />Thanks so much for the compliments on my article/photos. <br /><br />Seven is a magazine I originally found in Borders which is now entirely online. I got involved by writing about it in my blog and the editor contacted me and I ended up writing some articles and subediting. <br /><br />The magazine is aimed at politically conscious young people with an interest in arts and culture. Anyone can submit articles like any other publication. There's contact information on the website. It's split into four categories - the Issue, Music, Film and Culture....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7698167516686409999.post-56547596578182896762009-08-04T20:30:45.031+01:002009-08-04T20:30:45.031+01:00Let's face it, the world is in a mess.
