A) patent inadequacy of the UN's response to various conflicts in the recent past, such as doing nothing in the nineties in Bosnia while innocents were warehoused in modern day concentration camps within the very borders of a sanctimonious and disinterested Europe.
B) general inadequacy of international bodies that did not act strongly and decisively to quell threats to world peace, as proved by the failure of the League of Nations to halt fascist and expansionist aggression by Germany, Italy, and Japan in the thirties.
C) unconscionable fact that the UN Human Rights Commission had been taken over by repressive nations who routinely practiced summary imprisonment and brutal torture, and that a poster child of this repression, Libya, was absurdly elected by these violent nations to head the UN Human Rights Commission in 2002.
D) lack of energetic action by the UN, which had allowed the brutal and abject slaughter of many hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians in Rwanda by machete and burning fueled by ethnic hatred in the nineties, and which could have been avoided had the international community shown concern.
E) None of these
