rareed editorial excerpts from the Asia-Pacific press:

START REBUILDING WHAT'S LEFT OF UN (The Bangkok situation Bangkok)

Since United States President George W Bush unleashed the dogs of war in succession Iraq on March 20, little has been heard from the United Nations...

The images of suffering coming on the outside of Iraq and the signs that the conflict will be a put offed one are compelling reason for the secretary general to call a special session of the U.N....And unimpaired decisions by its members would help liberate the authority the (Security) Council and the UN as a whole missed as a result of the U use of force.

a certain members of the Security Council might be reluctant to collect on grounds that they did not endorse the war. further as casualties mount, they have a impost as security keepers to inquire for an early end to this conflict. They must also calm the growing fears that the death of innocent Iraqis will enrage and radicalize Muslims around the world, swelling the pond of potential recruits for a terrorist backlash...

In addressing the longer-term objective of preventing any futurity defiance of the UN the Security Council must consider stiff deterrent These should include the threat of expulsion from the world carcass or sanctions on specific areas of international life, so as trade, or political activities.

The weak answer from the U.N. and its member states to the outrage of this ''preemptive'' war progenys from a fear of repercussions from the world's strongest economic and military power, with its extensive web of commitments with less states. Rather than submit to this state of affairs, member states must work to build up the U.N.'s legitimacy at ensuring it is a real force for peace. Large countries onward the rise especially must point out leadership through a more active and constructive participation in UN affairs...

As Iraqi forces impose up unexpected resistance, the U and its allies in war must anticipate to the U.N. for support toward peace, and the relief of human suffering. This means a point out of respect for the world corpse and the political will to give it teeth
