The BBC has an interesting piece on the The United Nations and “The Quartet,” this thing that is supposedly working on a peace process between Israel and occupied Palestine, which is funny since there is no actual process in the plan, or real chance for peace so long as refgugee rights of return, settlements and land confiscation aren’t dealt with. Mostly this is due to the fact that there’s no real partnership, just a US White House desperate to fake some sort of consensus for yet another unworkable plan redraw borders in the Middle East.

Click here for the 7:50 am segment of BBC’s Radio4 Today show for Monday, October 15, 2007 to hear a solid interview with John Dugard, the Special Rapporteur for the violation of human rights in the occupied Palestinian territories regarding the UN’s role in the Middle East Quartet. He makes a very good point worth serious consideration.
