Holding the Preachers of Accountability, Accountable for their Actions - The UN's Failure in Nepal
In light of the evidence caught on video, readers are encouraged to review the chronology of events captured in the postings below.
The
question that every Nepali must ask themselves is who we should hold
accountable for the callous manner in which the UNMIN (United Nations
Mission in Nepal) handled the arms (and armies) verification process?
As
was the case in East Timor, Ian Martin parachuted in and out of Nepal.
But those who will bear the consequences of Martin’s (and the UN’s)
willingness to play the role of a (most) “useful idiot,†remain
in-country.
If the United Nations as an institution fails to
hold its personnel accountable, then Nepalis need to hold Ban Ki Moon
and the UN hierarchy accountable for the UN’s complete failure in
executing its mandate in Nepal.
