Does anyone take any notice of the UN theses days?

They should come to the realisation they only exist because of the generosity of one or two countries.

And this is sad, as the alliance system without nuclear deterence element is inherently unstable.

You think arming the UN with nuclear weapons would be a good thing?

He's wanted for questioning in Sweden. He refused to comply with bail conditions set by UK courts under a valid European Arrest Warrant. The violation of these conditions means he's liable to be arrested on UK soil.
To avoid this he fled to the Ecuadorian embassy - where he is protected from arrest by the Vienna Convention.


Arbitrary detention this is not.


Zero sympathy.

Well if the big five were to abide by the rules, that would go a lot further in convincing other countries to listen.
