They do what they can with the resources they are allocated. Exactly. The speed and strength of UN commitment in any situation around the world depends entirely upon the response from the governments of its member states. The Secretariat can condemn, plead, and press for action all it likes; but if member states aren't willing to stump up the cash to fund an operation or commit the troops to give it muscle, then the Secretariat has to water down its words because member states won't back them up. That's why "the UN doesn't seem to be doing anything about it." Before slagging off the UN because you can't see any action, first ask what your own country has offered to do because believe it or not, that's how the system actually works. --- texty bastard ...
