ALVARO DE SOTO

This was an incredible admission for the man who was supposed to resolve the Middle East Conflict where Terrorism was the major issue. He of course could define terrorism but as a diplomat felt that it would not be diplomatic to call terrorists “terrorists” if one wanted to discourage them from their terrorism. He also believed that since Hamas and other terrorist organizations had popular backing, they should not be labeled as “terrorists”. His position is typical of those that many in the United States, Israel and other modern democracies criticize about the United Nations. They argue that diplomatic niceties and attempted face-saving produces an organization that stands for little and condones evil.

He did not intend for the report to become public. See {616066}.

The Report was leaked to Guardian which revealed all the contents. The result turned out to be very embarrassing for the United Nations, not only because of what was said in the report, but because the public and many officials of governments the world over realized that there were factions in the United Nations working for their own agendas and cloaking their efforts in secrecy from the very government that they are supposed to represent. De Soto resigned.
