Are there gross basic humans rights violations currently in Iraq?? Its a brutal regime... I'm not saying the contrary, but currently, basic rights are not violated (freedom is not present either though). The UN should have acted in the '80's when Saddam used chemical weapons, and they did not. In that case, i would have gladly accepted your point of view. There's a big problem in the UN, i never denied this.
Serbia, on the other hand was using Genocide at the time... Legally speaking i do not know, did the UN Security Council actually veto the use of Force? Or was it only an absence of a majority? Was it brought to the UN General Assembly? I really need more information on this? Can you give me more information?
The word 'punish' is a bit strong don't you think? I never wrote that (If i did i was wrong), i meant condemn, which is only symbolic (much like everything else at the UN), and if Serbia was bombed illegaly, then i might think you are right that we should also be condemned, but I don't know the facts here... What happened with the vote? Was article 377 used?
