Comments on UN Secretary-General's Report "In Larger Freedom :Towards Security, Development and Human Rights for All.

Dear Friend,

We have gone through the UN Secretary General’s report "In Larger Freedom: Towards Security, Development and Human Rights for All" with a view to achieve millennium development goal.

We welcome the present effort for holding discussion on it in the ensuing UNGA summit in September.

However, political situation prevailing across the world do not allow us to be optimistic. The present world cannot get rid of all these chronic problems until and unless the richest countries do not change their attitudes towards poor nations. Moreover, the invasion of richer nations in different countries in the name of curbing terrorism and communal problems cannot bring peace in the world at all , rather it will accelerate the downfall of the richest countries.

We-- the members of the UN bodies and conscious citizens of the world --cannot allow any nation any further in any case to violate the UN Charter, otherwise within a short period the majority of the nations without doubt would be compelled to opt for dissolving the UN. In that case, simple reorganizing the UN body would not be sufficient to tackle the situation. Regret to say, we the present world with turbulent political problems cannot accommodate any more double standard for the use of nuclear and other arms.

Moreover, under the present situation UN affiliated NGOs are unable to work for poor countries in real terms as the UN, which is controlled by the richest nations, contribute a little for their development.

Particularly, the existing UN’s Human Rights Commission is not working for human beings residing in the LDCs. Because it is being dictated by the richest countries since its launching. Thus, it is a backboneless organ like the UN itself.

So, if we really want to do something, in the name of millennium development, we have to solve the problems of poor nations. In other words, we warn that if the rich nations do not take into cognizance all these inhuman activities --including aggression and manipulation of UN power-- the present UN would be under serious threat.

Whatsoever, we once again greet the UN Secretary General for his present initiative and hope the richer nations would extend their wholehearted cooperation towards him. I also extend my full support.
