Morality and the UN Do Not Co-Exist

We are now told that the genocide in Darfur will not be halted unless the people committing the genocide agree.

Accommodating Genocide in Darfur

In the face of ongoing genocide in Darfur, the international community's failure to accept the "responsibility to protect" (that's United Nations language, officially adopted) innocent civilian lives has taken its last, abject form. The National Islamic Front (NIF) regime in Khartoum, made up of the very men who have for more than three years orchestrated the systematic destruction of Darfur's African tribal populations, has been told directly and unambiguously that there will be no U.N. peacemaking force without its consent.

This ties in neatly with the UN's declaration that there is no right to self defense. When threatened with death, it is out duty to die. Hat tip to Glenn Reynolds.
