UN's Louise Arbour under attack over Rwanda

whispurrs | 21.04.2008 02:46 | Anti-racism | World

The UN's High Commissioner of Human Rights is due to step down after just one term. Some say the decision comes because of revelations indicting her in unsavoury goings on in Rwanda.

When Louise Arbour was interviewed recently by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, the interview was reponded to by the lead Barrister of the Rwanda Tribunal (ICTR) Christopher Black, who levelled allegations of interference and cover up against her. The shocking revelations have thus far not been reported in the mainstream press but alternative media is on it like fog and the heat's on the mainstream to publish. Keep it up!

"in 1997, Ms. Arbour is said to have been informed by her chief of investigations, Australian Michael Hourigan and his team, including FBI agent Jim Lyons and Canadian police officers assigned to their unit that it was the RPF who had shot down the plane and massacred all those people.
"But instead of indicting Paul Kagame and the RPF men who had murdered all those people she ordered Hourigan to come to The Hague where she told him to kill the investigation and to burn his notes", says Mr. Black."

If Coop & workers movement were involved in UN monitoring conflicts could be resolved our track record & membership size is second to none.ICA & UK coop group need to act more democratically, alot of "anarchist"

Godwin was, according to Peter Kropotkin, "was first to formulate the political and economical conceptions of anarchism, even though he did not give that name to the ideas developed in his work."[14][21] Godwin, a philosophical anarchist, opposed revolutionary action and saw a minimal state as a present "necessary evil"

In my view Revolutionary action is working cooperatives & fighting police units is reactionary unless in self defence,
