where was the UN when these massacres were taking place???? Waiting for somebody (The US) to act unilaterally so they could condemn them.

Annan is such a jerk. when the UN is needed they aren't there. When somebody does their dirty work for them, they cmoplain about getting their toes stepped on.

worse than useless.

Hmmmm...Stockholm. Does one of the city's museums still have that salute to homicide bomers on its wall? Gee, great place to have a conference on genocide.

UN is not stronger than its weakest members. In its current form and the problems nations have to act in the face of genocides etc. one has to find other solutions.

In my opinion the UN is a good institution but now it´s only a discussion forum and one more departement on genocide will solve nothing.

Not to defend the UN, but Clinton and the Cleaning Lady basically told the UN not to do anything. It was an election year don'cha know? Besides all Clinton had to do was go over and stop in Rwanda for all of 45 minutes, apologize, and all would be well.

Anan is an imbecile. That's why he is becoming known as "Famous Anus".

Exactly. And Annon was complicit in the Rwanda genocide, he forbad the peacekeepers from destroying the Hutu govt armories when the genocide was building.
