A dull year, you say?
Well, we'll see about that...
Among other interesting things coming up, we're about to have a real scandal with the Peacekeepers. Braddock will come down on Christopher like a ton of bricks, not because he blew up some Spartans and shoved them into that rover, but because he has the nerve to claim that his atrocities are not in violation of the U.N. Charter. When you say something like that, you've clearly lost sight of what the Charter is all about, and you're certainly not a Peacekeeper...
I'm being pretty thorough here... been digging through the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to figure out how many articles Colonel Christopher actually violated... -Not few!
Oh, and about U.N. Bureaucracy... well, sheeez! Have you ever tried to look up anything on the U.N. web site? The place is a JUNGLE!!!! It's not hard to find relevant info, there's just so many charters and treaties and conventions and commissions and resolutions and declarations, and so on and on and on... If you try to get all the relevant documents, you won't get to use them for anything because you'll NEVER get done reading them!
If you don't believe me, check it out for yourself at www.un.org
Actually, I think you could kill people with some of these documents! I've spent about an hour digging into the matter today and I've never seen so much political, diplomatic and legal mumbo-jumbo in my life before! It almost seems like there's hardly anything plain and simple that doesn't end up being turned into a 10 page list of sections and sub-sections, each repeating what the first one said, but approaching the matter from a slightly different angle...
There are some honest exceptions though.
Also, there are some articles in here that really kick ass!
For instance, article 104 of the U.N. Charter states that "the Organization shall enjoy in the territory of each of its Members such legal capacity as may be necessary for the exercise of its functions and the fulfilment of its purposes"
In other words: They can basically do whatever the hell they think is necessary under the present circumstances at any given time/place, and as long as they don't violate their own Charter, no one can bust them for it...
Hmmm, interesting...
