Those *dangerous* Korean War relics

The UN and the Muslim religion support slavery. While Islam appears to at least tolerate slavery, the United Nations technically does not support slavery: "Adopted and proclaimed by General Assembly resolution 217 A (III) of 10 December 1948 .... Article 4. No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms. ...." http://www.un.org/Overview/rights.html The UN has of course been somewhat impotent in doing much about slavery, but it has been impotent in addressing many other matters also. Hard to see how impotence becomes "support". My local police are impotent against lots of robberies - I'd hardly translate that impotence into a statement claiming the police support robbery. For other material from the UN that indicates it at least tracks and understands the extent of slavery, see also: http://www.un.org/depts/dhl/slavery/index.html |
