What the U.N. Can Do to Stop Getting Attacked by Terrorists

[Jacaylbaro]

The UN therefore has no choice but to “harden” its sites. Four measures will drastically increase the safety of UN personnel: install traffic barriers that prevent unauthorized vehicles from getting close to the buildings; increase “stand-off distances” by extending the grounds and gates to a length far enough away that a car carrying a bomb could not impact the buildings; restrict traffic in front of UN buildings; and install impact-absorbing windows. Such measures have been successful in reducing the vulnerability of American embassies and bases abroad.

The silliest suggestion ever ..... the writer must be a retired military officer or something.

 

UN needs to face the reality and do something about its legitimacy, impartiality and reputation rather than erecting blocks and closing up roads. Once the community are against you or feel you're a threat to them then it is hard to work among them. Whatever security measures you take do not stop terrorist attacks and they will always find a way to do a maximum damage.

 

Is the UN impartial to Iraqis ? ,, Afghanistanis ?? , Pakistanis ?? and even Somalis ???

 

That should be the question they've been asking and finding solution .... not military blockades and physical protection measures.

Why do these communities feel the UN is a threat? I never understood that since they are the ones helping the general population.
