Ts a former Deputy US Representative on the Security Council, I can say the makers simply do not understand how the UN works. For example, the United States had the knowledge and could have used its position on the Security Council to intervene in Rwanda -- UN officials could have done more, but it's the Security Council members who call the shots and bear responsibility. I can also say with confidence, there is no valid excuse for American Representatives on the Security Council to have turned blind eyes, as they did for months, to the rape of children by UN forces in the Congo. Nor has America introduced Security Council resolutions to change the system which allows this to happen. (Obviously, the other SC members are equally guilty, but they aren't aupposed to be moral beacons of the same magnitude as America.)"Broken Promises" just thwacks away at the easy target without ever getting to the heart of the matter -- the UN 's member states and their behaviors.
