its good the UN has “teeth” now. there was a time when the UN couldn’t do anything and the atrocity being done was right in front of them. in fairness, it’s because the UN leadership at that time didn’t have “teeth” so the boots in the ground had to stand down even if they wanted to react. some UN troops were even disarmed. i pity the commanders on the ground assigned at that time.
