What about burma? Does the UN Security council played blind and deaf on the sufferings of the people there?

Question

The United Nations have done nothing but to send envoys in the past which resulted to nothing but sanctions. A massacre of 3000 peaceful demonstrators in 1990's, both from the religious and social classes is a clear violation of human rights and abuse of power, just recently another demonstration was quelled by force by the military junta where more than 300 were believed killed. I believe UN needs to act on these abuses and massacres by the Junta. Those happenings were clear genocides and no action but sending an envoy was done by the UN which is supposed to be the protector of the world. Was it because Burma is a tiny poor nation compared to Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran and North Korea? And nothing like oil can be siphoned from this poor country? As an ordinary citizen in your country, do you believe UN have to send its troops to Burma, unseat the junta's leaders and install an interim government just like what they did in Iraq and Afghanistan?

for me it is a state-sponsored terrorism and there's not much a difference with what happpened in the countries I mentioned, Iraq, Afghanistan,Serbia -Bosnia Hezregovina, Congo, Darfur and the sort.

There are several constructive things people can do.
* Watch our leaders on C-Span talk about the situation, such as what has changed since past events, that give more hope for resolution this time
* Boycott CHEVRON which is supporting the Junta to the tune of $ 2 billion a year ... send a clear message that money interests understand ... then when Chevron shuts down and some other Oil company moves in, boycott them also
* Urge Congress to take certain actions (see my post)

Thailand is blocking refugees from escaping ... the UN is real good at getting refugees resettled elsewhere ... urge it to do what it is good at.

Most importantly, we know from history that if Burma eases up, the news media and dimplomats will go back to sleep, and focus on other things. We need to keep the pressure up.

Starting another war is never a good solution, but what they need to do is get Burma's biggest trading partners in on the act. Singapore, Thailand, China and India. Singapore actually had the leader of Burma in one of their hospitals for treatment not too long ago. All Countries should ban travel for the top leaders of Burma, immediately. All bank accounts of the top leaders of Burma should be immediately frozen. Everything that can be done to make the lives of the top military difficult needs to be done. They should be charged with war crimes.

Unfortunately, this will probable have little effect, but short of invasion this is the best the world can do. But the world must make them pay a price.

They are killing the monks now.

I've been to the refugee camps, some of the children have spent there entire lives living there. They are now graduating high school and they've never been out of the camps and they will never have a job.

Burma is hell on earth and the Junta there has 50 million dollar weddings for their familes. They are nothing better than a real bad mafia. The world needs to treat them in that way.

Answer 3

What is happening in Burma is an internal matter. The UN Security Council has no authority to dispatch a Peace Enforcement Mission to unseat the regime in Rangoon. The peace enforcement mission sent against Iraq in 1991 was in response to Iraq's invasion of another member state of the UN (Kuwait). In the case of Afghanistan, it was in reaction to that nation being a harborage of terrorists who had carried out acts of war against other nations.

I advise that the higher prohibit for contributions be performed away with, and that the highest payouts in retirement nonetheless stay as they're, adjusted for inflation. Social protection isn't a "provide away" software however person who all of us give a contribution to love a financial savings plan, and will have to be blanketed from different makes use of by means of the federal government. Do you compromise or disagree and why? If you're so involved approximately it then why not; first placed it again into the personal sector and make to have been no can take out cash from it for his or her possess curiosity, moment pay again each penny you could have borrowed from each Social Security and Medicare, 3rd take the unlawful immigrants off of it and those that come over right here however under no circumstances paid a penny to it, and finally have it the identical for every person; in different phrases govt officers are to perform it and in the event that they desire some thing extra they do it on their possess with out the tax payers investment it?Yet, the fiscal stytem feeding the imbalances had under no circumstances been quite converted. They, a organization of pupils, advised that each one curiosity premiums might be three% or much less for every person to grow to be wealthy if favored (that need to be real additionally to taces). The quality monetary problem might be, they stated, whilst there have been no curiosity premiums. Why no longer do this resolution? The wealthy might nonetheless be wealthy. My query is: whilst soial protection turns into a obstacle attached to federal money owed, why no longer paintings with a balanced or acquire finances and spend not more than is available in, as any household has to try for? Why no longer ban all loobying items to be able to get legislation that serve the nation? God bless America.

Answer 5

Get real.

Since when is the UN an effectual body? They've been a waste of time and money for decades. They don't help, they are incredibly bureaucratic, slow to respond, and blocked in so many ways by even the "feeblest" of countries if they have a decent diplomat.

If you're so distraught over this, what are YOU going to do about it? Organize a rally? Solicit donations from people nad companies with deep pockets to help? Create a NGO to help people around the world wo need it?

Stop complaining and DO something if that's your passion!!!
