The career path to becoming a big-time liberal
imperialist spokesman is strewn with obstacles, not the least of which is
moral qualms. I am quite sure that in the course of rising to the top of
this garbage heap, you will find it easy to dispense with them.
Although this may seem redudant but, well said.
Following the General Assembly of all UN staff in Lebanon, that was held on Thursday the 20th of March 2003 regarding the conflict in the region, the United Nations Staff Associations and Unions in Lebanon issued the following statement which represents their common view and position regarding the war on Iraq :
Stop the war on Iraq
We, the United Nations Staff in Lebanon are alarmed and outraged by the outbreak of war on Iraq.
We are extremely worried about the implications on human life and the humanitarian catastrophe affecting millions of people and the impact of war on regional and international stability.
Military action is unjustifiable and undermines future prospects for peaceful settlement of international disputes.
We believe that it is our duty as United Nations Staff Members to uphold the principles of the United Nations Charter and to ensure that it remains the parameters governing international relations. It must be respected and adhered to by all countries and at all times.
We continue to advocate the important role that the United Nations is playing in peace-making worldwide.
Voicing our deep concern, we join all peaceful movements worldwide in calling for an immediate STOP to the War on Iraq.
