Complicity With Evil - Adam LeBor - Paperback - en Book

A Seasoned Foreign Correspondent Shows How The Un Privileges Its Own Neutrality And Interests Above Its Founding Mission Of Protecting Humanity, With Predictably Tragic Consequences From The Killing Fields Of Rwanda And Srebrenica A Decade Ago To Those Of Darfur Today, The United Nations Has Repeatedly Failed To Confront Genocide. This Is Evinced, Author And Journalist Adam Lebor Maintains, In A May 1995 Document From Yasushi Akashi, The Most Senior Un Official In The Field During The Yugoslav Wars, In Which He Refused To Authorize Air Strikes Against The Serbs For Fear They Would Weaken Milosevic. More Recently, In 2003, Urgent Reports From Un Officials In The Sudan Detailing Atrocities From Darfur Were Ignored For A Year Because They Were Politically Inconvenient.
