Rwanda wins UN Security Council seat

I suppose it won't matter much when Slobodan Milošević is eventually elected to Secretary-General of the United Nations.

Interesting to see the Rwandan govt. accused of meddling in its neighbours' business. Certainly, it may fit with concerns raised on either Ideas or Dispatches. Wishing that I could remember with certainty which show aired the radio documentary I'm thinking of.

There's always been a certain amount of those tyrants and thugs watching each others' backs at venues like the UN. It's a fair charge, but then it wasn't originally intended to be the Ideal Planetary Governmental Venue. Just to keep us from nuclear weapons-assisted suicide as a species.

A planetary governance venue is something that a lot of us are trying to remake the UN into, however...
