Burma is a prime example of why the UN is irrelevant. No regime that is held into place by force should have a voice in an international institution of any kind, much less one that putatively exists to promote peace.

Furthermore, more action than just ‘stern words’ should be taken in response to this barbarism.

Short of invasion, there should be a strict economic blockade and safe haven provided on the borders to anyone who wants to leave. I would even go so far as to advocate targeted harassment attacks on their military facilities and assets.

“..the UN is irrelevant. No regime that is held into place by force should have a voice in an international institution of any kind..”

The entire UN is a useless and contemptible organization whose headquarters just clutters up the NY skyline. How is it possible that the country that contributes most to its survival, is only allowed one vote?
