The Washington Post: U.N. Diplomacy Farce Comforts the Dictators of Burma
by Danny Fisher
The editors of the Washington Post write today that with U.N. special envoy Ibrahim Gambari’s sixth no-results mission to Burma, “it is clear now that U.N. diplomacy has become a cover for inaction, not a pathway to reform.” They further state that “it is time for [U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon] to say that he won’t allow the United Nations to be exploited and humiliated” by General Than Shwe and the rest of the junta.
