The news is encouraging. But, in realty, such prosecution will not occur before the end of this war. I liked the warning to RNA, the RNA chiefs who make a lot of money from RNA staff's UN Peace Keeping force's salaries. IF UN can suspend it for just a few months, the money hungry top brass in RNA will surely launch some investigation, because the UN peace keeping forces from Nepal run "Srimati Sangha of RNA officers", which is another way of funneling RNA's PEACE Keeping's money to top officer's wives. A kind of snatching money from poor low level cadres in army. In the past, UN peace keeping force when returned to home used to bring high duty items without paying any duty and make huge chunk of money out of it. So, if UN cuts off this chain, then big bossses will surely come forward and try to find escapegoats and punish, just the way "Graner" got punishment in US to save Rfeld's face. Well, Maoist leaders won't listen to UN. They just want to use UN to internationalize their war, but will never come to close this fight with the help of UN. There is only a third factor that can bring is India, by stopping movement of Maoists in India, just the way BP was forced to leave India and ran "Mel Milap" slogans. IF India stops Maoist's access to India, right today, I bet Maoists will announce ceasefire within a month and will accept any face saving "safe landing plan", e.g. PM or DPM post and inclusion of few thousand Maoists in RNA. As long as India is not going to act, UN's threatening messages won't work. The Int's courts work only after the war comes to end. So, all these hues and cries are not effective to Maoist leadership, well, it might be scary to top notch Maoists, but lower level cadres are not under the control to Maoist leadership and their worry won't help them. Otherwise, BRB and Prachanda always making hues and cries in their FAXes are completely different from their cadres action in the field. GP
