My Twitter highlights follow…<\/p>\n

“Millennium Declaration… unprecedented international compact” “signed by world leaders” #unausa #membersday2012 Corinne Woods –(@fglaysher)<\/p>\n

“…relentless corporate propaganda” denies global warming. Jeffery Sachs #unausa Members Day — (@fglaysher)\u00a0February 13 at 7:13am<\/p>\n

JFK …make the world safe for diversity…. this small plant.” #unausa #membersday2012 — (@fglaysher)<\/p>\n

Kofi Annan “No government has the right to hide behind national sovereignty.”… Ambassador Di Carlo #unausa<\/p>\n

Israel, Palestinians….”need to come to terms.” Di Carlo #unausa #membersday2012 — \u00a0February 12 at 9:00pm<\/p>\n

“Peacekeeping… the whole range… difficult command and control.” Ugo Salinas #unausa #membersday2012 — fglaysher (@fglaysher)<\/p>\n

“…institution building so that the peacekeepers can withdraw.” Ugo Salinas #usauna #membersday2012<\/p>\n

“Why has [peacekeeping] not really worked? …lack of speed is a political one.” Wolfgang Weisbrod-Weber #unausa #membersday2012 — fglaysher (@fglaysher)\u00a0i.e., UN tends not to move fast enough to keep up with a developing crisis. The machinery is not in place to allow it to do otherwise.<\/p>\n

“Countries don’t want the Secretary-General to have a rapid response force because he might use it.” Wolfgang #unausa #membersdY2012 — fglaysher\u2026<\/p>\n
