After all the lights of the UN "reform" summit had gone out, the UN General Assembly moved back into the basement of its Headquarters and assumed a different character. This is the UN forte. One picture for the cameras carefully orchestrated through UN press releases and photo ops of world leaders smiling beside Kofi Annan. Quite another reality - like the terrorism discussions which ended yesterday.

The problem with the optics is that the war against terrorism is for real. And the UN proclaims that it is entitled to be at the helm. [. . . . ]

The UN? Read the rest and note the country names. Kofi Annan speaks. and Myanmar and . . . . . .

Then, search: UN press release
