“The application of this doctrine to United Nations officials is contrary to obligations under the Charter of the United Nations and the privileges and immunities to be afforded to the United Nations and its officials,” said deputy spokesman Farhan Haq.

The doctrine of declaring someone persona non grata applies between states, the spokesman said, and “we are not a state.”

Unless they were officially invited in, they just waltzed right in and announced, "OK . . we're here now, treat us special" ....

U.N. law clearly says that no one can refuse the U.N. anything, and that the U.N. can do whatever it wants. These laws will be strictly enforced with harsh language if necessary.

I find it interesting that there is no mention of what the expelled officials were doing to get expelled. “Interfering with internal affairs” is remarkably non-specific and could easily mean just about anything.

Is Ethiopia one of those countries that like to correct their problems with machetes? If so, the UN should probably make other plans for their upcoming “disarmed” employees.

So, if the UN is not a state, their minions can be hunted down and slaughtered?

Pick.
