And don't forget the U.N. turned its back on Maddas's rape rooms as we also find out that their own representatives have been regularly raping women and children in the Congo (and maybe elsewhere) for who knows how long. They've got a history of showing how ineffectual they can be in the face of real atrocities. I'm not sure what Brown means by "serious consequences?" Those words have been thrown back in our face by the leftists at the U.N. They expect us to take them seriously. LMAO In his speech, Malloch Brown warned of the “serious consequences of a decades-long tendency by U.S. Administrations of both parties to engage only fitfully with the UN” and condemned “the prevailing practice of seeking to use the UN almost by stealth as a diplomatic tool while failing to stand up for it against its domestic critics.”[2] He singled out for particular criticism Washington’s decision to opt out of joining the new UN Human Rights Council, despite that it is not a significant improvement over the hugely discredited Human Rights Commission.[3] Message 22541283.
