un resolution
The UN security council is supposed to vote today on the French proposal on Darfur. One of the articles I linked the other day outlined some of the political ramifications of this proposal, particularly that of the use of the International Criminal Court. The problem is that the ICC has not been ratified by the United States. Thus, the US was put into a bit of a no-win situation, either wiggle on it's ICC stand, or veto the measure, causing further delays on action in Sudan.
Fortunately, it appears that the first option is the one the US is going to take. I thought it may go that way, since politically it is the easier of the two to put a positive spin on and morally it is the right thing to do (there has already been too much delay on this issue).
So, hopefully this will pass . . .
