POPSDuh? are you kidding me? How the flipping hell does the international community let this shit happen. If I owned a boat with 100m worth of anything these jack sparrow wannabes would be strung up in a public place and plastered all of the world news networks. No way in hell should this be happening in the this day and age.

POPSUnited Nations' Secretary General's 'Energy-Saving' Double-Talk BAN: Because of this particular situation in this room the temperature may be a little bit warmer than normal, but conference will be set at 77 degrees. Moving on, we thought we might get some answers at the daily U.N. briefing. There a spokeswoman explained that the conference room temperature was actually not at 77 degrees but at…80! Which forced us once again to ask the same question: So why’s it so cold in there? The answer: U.N. headquarters is a very old building, and rooms can experience drastically different temperatures. Even, it seems, when they’re set to 80, it feels 20 degrees cooler. “There is no special setup for the secretary-general’s office,” we were told. Apparently not.

POPSCourt Moves To Charge Sudanese President al-Bashir With Genocide "The solution to problems and the current situation in Darfur is not completely independent from the work of the International Criminal Court." The German chancellor said she and Ban also discussed instability in Zimbabwe and the challenge of supporting Africa as food and fuel prices skyrocket. Merkel said that Germany had pledged €600 million (US$954 million) in emergency aid to African nations struggling to deal with rising prices. "Naturally, Germany is strongly committed to development aid." Ban was in Germany for a two-day visit that will also take him to Bonn, where several U.N. programs have their headquarters.

POPSMilitia attack Zimbabwe displaced That this continues indicates the priorities of those in the UN and that the Ambassadors of each member country have been told to ignore the situation. It also shows how the power of the UN has been quashed by the fact that the veto countries are engaged in invasions and human rights issues of their own.

POPSU.N. Chief Addresses Food Crisis On Tuesday The answer lies not in any outsized surge in world demand or fall in world supply, but in the fact that several countries, including China, have imposed duties, quotas and outright bans on agricultural exports. ... Today, each country wants to curb agricultural exports and stimulate imports to reduce prices. But if every country limits exports, the result is a decline in world imports, so prices rise instead of falling. Solving the problem may require coordinated international action. After the Great Depression, the world community created the Global Agreement on Tariffs and Trade -- which later morphed into the World Trade Organization -- to negotiate simultaneous cuts in import barriers by major trading powers. This coordinated approach thwarted free riders, and gradually gained acceptance by all."

POPSMugabe is in Rome!!! Is he NUTS ??? Will he make it back to Zimbabwe? If he pulls this ploy off then he doesn't need electing. He either has the hardest 'balls' or the softest brain! This has to be part of an end play or I'm a dodo. Where is his next stop? Saudi Arabia, Amin's refuge? Bush's ranch, with all the other criminals of the last 8 years? Any advances?

POPS100+ countries adopt cluster bomb ban in Dublin This despite the absence of the United States, China, Russia, Israel, India and Pakistan -- all major cluster bomb stockpilers and producers. Supporters said they hoped the treaty would pressure them to change track or shame them into not using cluster bombs. "We all know that there are important states not present, but I am convinced that we will have succeeded in stigmatising any future use of cluster munitions," Irish Foreign Minister Micheal Martin said.

POPS Myanmar's fascist junta extends Suu Kyi house arrest Those who showed their incompetence to aid the cyclone victims, proving their determinism to oppress Myanmar people.

POPSIsrael Urges UN to Stop Using the Word “Nakba” These creatures really have more nerve than god. Now they want to force the world to never even mention the crimes against humanity for which Zionists are - IN FACT - guilty. They've already sabotaged truth around the world, now they want to take their barbaric ruthlessness another step lower. If the world doesn't wake up to these people, they can kiss it goodbye.

POPSLeaked Saudi View. 'Border dispute' Existing UN Resolutions Solution Prince Saud al-Faisal has been the discreet voice of Saudi Arabian diplomacy for more than 30 years, and he spoke with unchallenged authority at the recent meeting of the Quartet of Middle East peacemakers, giving what turned out to be a bleak assessment of the current negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians. The situation was "dire", he told the assembled dignitaries, including Condoleezza Rice, Tony Blair and Ban Ki-moon. "Many dangers loom. It seems we have reached a stage that I can only describe as a morass." Such pessimism is not big news, though Saud's gloomy remarks were made, characteristically, behind closed doors at London's Lancaster House. It is certainly hard to find anyone who harbours much hope that there is a way out of the current impasse. ... Guardian
