Currently the Fukushima nuclear meltdown is poisoning the western pacific.
Where is the UN?
the Japanese don’t ‘guilt’ as easily as the US.
The Marshalls are part of the “Freely Associated States”, which, along with Guam, are pushing for increased subsidies. Persuading the UN to visit and comment seems political chess. And, adds the activist element of ‘compensations’ to the pot. Which would up the ante on those subsidies and provide an excuse for repetative scientific grants. Along with the possibility of strengthening the image of a politicized UN which would insist on oversight of any ‘research’. (placing themselves as a middle-man between the FAS and the US)
