America's call
Really?
"His work there is left unfinished, but, please God, we shall complete it,"
the Secretary-General said at the funeral of the 55-year old diplomat, who
was murdered along with over 20 others when a massive truck bomb exploded on
Tuesday outside the UN's heaquarters at the C**** Hotel in Baghdad.
And also:
The Secretary-General adamantly denounced the atrocious tactics of the
terrorists who had deliberately targeted the UN
And:
Secretary-General Kofi Annan continued his push today for increased security
for United Nations operations in Iraq.
And:
The Secretary-General has repeatedly made clear his determination to
continue the UN missions in Iraq.
And:
"We are assessing the situation and are going to make a judgment what
additional requirements in terms of security and others that we will need
and I will demand that of the Council," he said before starting emergency
consultations with the 15-member body.
And:
Following the Secretary-General's meeting with the representatives from
Cuba, Malaysia and South Africa, the Non-Aligned Movement issued a statement
strongly condemning the attack, demanding that the UN and its missions not
be made targets for attack and reiterating its support for the
Secretary-General and the world body.
"Despite this attack, the Movement is convinced that the United Nations
should continue to play its role in Iraq through the United Nations
Assistance Mission in Iraq (UNAMI)," the statement said, encouraging the UN
Members States and Mr. Annan "to remain steadfast."
Afterward, the Secretary-General said: "This support, coming from your 116
members, is a source of strength to me personally and to the Organization."
He added that the UN would continue its mission to ensure that an Iraqi
Government is established as soon as possible, by the people and for the
people.
If you need more, just go to the real source for UN policy, the UN web site.
Sounds to me like they are supporting it, more than not supporting it.
