#9  I'm certain we can count on the UN organizing a week long conference on this issue at a five star hotel in Europe. From that will emerge an important white paper and perhaps a permanent standing committee. The committee will consist of dedicated UN staff who will meet annually at a five star European hotel to report on the status of the issue.

#8  I should think a resolution condeming Israel should be sufficient to close out this item.

What's next on the agenda?

#7  It's OK to molest children, but use them as soldiers? That has to be punished.

But of course. Molesting children is only using them as the Diety Of Your Choice intended. Child soldiers are armed, and fight back. Silly jackel!

#5  Sri Lanka appears on both the current list and the dropped list. Reuters' editors are about as useless as Kofi.

#2  Time to have a series of meetings, expense account lunches and dinners, and order to discuss the importance of rewarding a $5 million dollar contract, to a crony organization, to study the use of child soldiers and conclude that the use of child soldiers is bad. Then another set of lunches to draft the resolution condemning use of child soldiers.

As for the punishment - it will be a "strongly worded" condemnation of those who employ the children.

what a joke.

#1  The SC can't even muster up the effort to enforce the resolutions that it passes and now "punishments" are going to be administered??
