I think you'd find better information about the disease-fighting efforts in other countries by checking the World Health Organization's website:\n\nhttp://www.who.int

The biggest problem the United Nations has is the courage to enforce any of its resolutions or sanctions. The UN stood by and watched 1 million people killed in Rwanda and did absolutely nothing except a few UN soldiers raped and killed innocent people.

Mainly because the U.N. won't act in a manner in which it said it was supposed to when first chartered.  A few nations take the initiative to be involved when there should be a general agreement on handling these situations by the majority of the nations to be involved

The U.N. has to find guts enough to stand up to the African Union and tell them to quit coddling the warlords in Sudan, and to let the U.N. step in to help establish order. That said, I don't have much faith in either situation coming about. With the lack of backbone on the U.N. Security Council, I don't see much happening with the U.N., and the African Union is packed with allies of the continent's many dictators. There's no single figure in Africa who is willing to stand up to the dictators across the rest of the continent and tell them to stop their own abuses and to band together for the common good. And even if there were such a person, getting the rest of the continent to go along with it would be a feat of the magnitude that this world has never seen. It would never happen.

No, because action is being taken by the African Union peacekeeping force\n\nHowever, the AU is struggling and the UN wants to step in (see link on UN request to deploy military planners)\n\nAnd UN countries won't commit forces to be solely managed by AU military leadership as it is not as mature as something like NATO

I would guess many NGOs would practice "diplomacy."  Same with IGOs.  They are of increasing influence in the world stage.

No.  It started in Africa.  I mean, anything is possible, but why the government would want to play around with diseases is beyond me.  Realistically, no.

Assuming your perspective just based on your question alone I'm guessing you have little knowledge about the 1998 cruise missile attack on the El-Shifa pharmaceutical plant in Khartoum, Sudan.  Since that plant produced the majority of the medicines which fought malaria, tuberculosis, and other countless curable diseases in Sudan, the missile strike led to the deaths of tens of thousands of Sudanese.  I'd say that was indeed a crime against humanity, wouldn't you?

India seeks to play a global role to match it;s growing economic stature.\n\nIt's bidding for a permanent seat in the UN security council.\n\nInterestingly, India was offered a permanent UN security council seat which it gave to China as show of friendship(bad decision) as china is now opposing India's bid.\n\nPakistan at this moment is trying to figure out whether it should support the jehadis fighting against US or it should support US and keep getting the aid on whcih it has survived for so many years.\n\nIndia is way ahead of Pakistan in all respects.

First things first-they need to make India a permanent UNSC member.We have the world's third largest military,a booming economy,a stable governemnt and our soldiers have laid down their lives in almost every U.N peacekeeping operation from Sierra Leone to Sri Lanka.It's about time India (one of the original members of the UN-we joined in 1945-before we were even independent) got the recognition it deserves.
