The role of the UN
by Ravikant on Nov 02, 2006 02:23 PM

The situation on the ground is an ongoing civil war.
A lot has changed with the end of the cold war when civil wars were actually waged among the parties with the proxy support by the powers.The war would halt with one of the powers withdrawing from the conflict.
India as a sovereign state is today having to fight an insurgency on its own soil.The sweep of the insurgents has increased manifold in the decades.The Naxalites and the NE insurgents have been receiving support from our immediate neighbours, but none and this includes China has thought it important to offer a hand to curtail the insurgents.
Why should India play the supercop? It is the job of the UN to stepin to ensure a ceasefire or a solution to stop the wanton destruction.
If the UN could propose a 38th parallel in Korea and set a UN monitored DMZ then they should do so in Srilanka also.It is significant that the LoC and its demilatization is being thought of in J&K.
