From Paul Larudee at FPM News: Some of you are probably aware of the initiative below, which provides powers rarely invoked by the UN, and which cannot be vetoed. In principle, it can even empower the use of peacekeeping forces to be used by willing countries, but the only time that happened, the GA United for Peace resolution was sufficient by itself for the Security Council to agree to send forces in 1956, without having to override a veto. As with the ICJ rulings, the difficulty is with the implementation. What countries would be willing to send troops to end the genocide, and would those countries most likely be ones considered hostile to the US and the West, and therefore set off a major world war? I consider that unlikely, but only because such countries will not send troops in the first place. In practical terms, if the most powerful nations do not agree on the implementation, there will be none (except by heroic Yemen). Because of this, Israel and the US can simply ignore United for Peace actions. Nevertheless, there is no harm in invoking the procedure, and we never know what might result from it.
