The decision of the United Nations to fly the UN Flag at half-mast for Kim Jong-Il is sick


The UN flag at half-mast outside the organization's New York headquarters in 2009 after five UN staff members were killed in Afghanistan.

If anything shows why the United Nations needs fundamental reform, its' decision to pay 'respect' to the dead North Korean Dictator Kim Jong Il, provides more reason than many (hat-tip Guido Fawkes).

How the UN can mourn the death of a man who was responsible, alongside his father, for establishing a totalitarian dictatorship, incarcerating and killing millions of citizens in Gulag labour camps and causing mass starvation across the country, will be beyond the comprehension of most ordinary folk.

The United Nations should not be a haven for dictators, but a supporter of free, democratic nations.  By paying respect for Kim Jong Il, the UN is condoning dictatorship.

Mind you, can we be surprised?  An organisation which had the Gadaffi regime as head of its Human Rights Conference, failed to intervene to stop the Rwandan Genocide in 1994 and has hosted President Ahmadinejad of Iran (at least leading to a walkout by some Western Nations, including the UK).

This is a disgraceful decision by the United Nations.
