The UN is no solution as peacekeepers in this world

‘Moral obligation and political imperative’ to support Syria on path to peace: Guterres https://news.un.org/feed/view/en/story/2019/03/1034841

“It is a moral obligation and a political imperative for the international community to support Syrians to unite around a vision for their common future that protects civilians, alleviates suffering, prevents further instability, addresses the root causes of the conflict and forges, at long last, a credible negotiated solution,” the Secretary-General concluded.

It was so predictable but the UN is now telling the Syrians and the international society that they must unite around Syria's president (I accept, he doesn't use those words) so the conflict can end and we can finally send back those annoying refugees. And thus, Assad and Putin are the moral leaders in this world as are the UN.

They are not. It is like saying that Hitler should be accepted, even by the Jews if that was the price to end a war. Assad can't be a solution although he, and his secret service IS, killed so many Syrians that they are too tired to oppose him.

It's the same as in Rwanda, Yugoslavia and so many other regions where human rights are violated: the UN is an organisation where diplomats earn very much to reach agreements with dictators and nothing else. It's time to stop this organisation and replace it with something new that talks less but act to protect people.

First, get rid of the veto right and get a majority vote whereby countries need diplomacy to reach their goal and not a veto to block actions against mass murderers. I accept, larger countries but also those who contribute more may have a few extra votes as they can't be equalled to countries with a small majority. Still, they can't block decisions unless a majority of countries support them. This will weaken Russia (and often also China), main supporter of all evil in this world.

(18l) Belgium, king Leopold II and Congo

Image
Leopold II in Congo Belgium has a terrible human rights track record because of its second king Leopold II (1835 - 1909) during whose reign millions of people in Congo died. People may say he is not personally responsible but the same can be said of Hitler. However, Leopold II could have ruled only Belgium but this he considered too small and thus he lobbied to gain Congo for himself and succeeded on the condition he would treat its people correct, something he refused to do from day one. Therefore, he is responsible as he actively searched for this expansion to enrich himself so he could enlarge his own glory in his kingdom Belgium with neglect of his "subjects" in Congo. And people in those days had already a conscience because the king had to replace the first ambassador who refused to collaborate to expand the king's personal property.   To have an impression of the terror Leopold ii allowed in Congo is a picture in this article that shows a black father who l...

(05d) PM Merkel is against Eurobonds - I agree to some extend

I'm having again Internet after almost a three months break. Finally, back to the world. Many European politicians (and certainly economists) want to introduce Eurobonds and as I understand it, the EU may take some (most, all?) of the debts of poorer European countries and spread it over Europe so that both strong and weak shoulders will carry the problems. Of course, it is only understandable that Europe wants to help countries that are in need (as it should do because they are members). But, as the German PM Angela Merkel (a woman who thinks differently than most men and wants other solutions then the usual ones), I am against spreading debts because it will weaken every country that take some of the debts (it is similar to banks using savings of people to pay off their debts so that when people want their money the banks can't give it anymore (I wonder whether rating agencies threat some countries well so those countries are prepared to take responsibilities to save count...

Buildup of Tensions in Societies Throughout the World

Image
We notice worldwide tensions are growing within societies. This is mainly as a result of growing inequality but also other factors are involved such as a virus and climate change that destroys crops so people start to migrate as essentials become rarer and thus more expensive compared with what people earn. The result is likely that increasingly people in places where the migrants move to will demand a closing of their borders. Let's discuss. Financial crisis 2008-2009 While inequality was growing as a result of what many people earned versus rising costs of products, this accelerated when the financial crisis was organised just over ten years ago. As a result, people lost work and many even their home such as in the USA so poverty increased although the rich became richer. But, while house prices dropped because many flats and houses became available, those with money were able to buy them cheaper and sell or rent them out to make money when property prices rose again. The problem...
