Recall UN envoy to Sudan Jan Pronk?
August 12, 2004 |
Pronk continues to give away the store in Sudan. This from Passion of the Present today:
The US and UK should ask for UN envoy Jan Pronk to be recalled.
Pronks’ actions would be comic if they did not affect the lives of thousands of people. Authoritative reports, including from his own United Nations, indicate that the [Sudanese] government is continuing to play games and stall. The government [in response] complains about the reports, and Pronk relents.
I would have thought that Pronk would have upped the pressure, and sought to determine whether there is truth to the reports–and if so, would have brought this to the attention of both the government of Sudan and UN Security Council members.
