DOES UN TREAT FAIRLY?
Muhammad Shamim Akhter,05 April, 2011:

The controversy in regards to the fair role of the UN has been mounted when different treatment of the organization has been clearly evident by the concerned peoples. The dual role of it has sparked off such skepticism. Microscopic corroboration of East Timor, South Sudan and Jammu and Kashmir have enumerated much doubt because of the reality that while East Timor and South Sudan could be liberated by the patron of the UN why it could not be for Kashmir. It is the irony of the fate that they even could not get the opportunity to cast vote “Plebiscite”) which was supposed to be arranged within last fifty years. By this time, the lives which were spared by Indian forces have not got any sense.
The conscious quarter has confirmed that East Timor and South Sudan have been amputated as those two states hold Christian population within the heartland of Muslim land. Besides, the religious dogmatism, mineral aspiration has invoked the UN very proactive to move there. In the South Thailand, Arakan in Burma may be brought as an instance to be confirmed that since they are Muslim, it does not bother the UN. Religion and mineral have become the indicators of the UN wherever they will move further.
In addition, the extermination of innocent civilian Bangladeshis by Indian Border Security Force (BSF) in the border area has not bothered the UN yet.
By the by, the terms of the following resolution of 5 January, 1949 regarding Kashmir made by the UN have not been executed, however, thousands of the innocent Kashmiris have been murdered by the Indian Security Forces which may be called as the state sponsored terrorism.
Question is: which lives are valuable to the UN?
For the reader's attention, the UN resolution about Kashmir is given below:
