Should we trust the international community?

This is a very broad topic that we cannot debate on all its angles and details, but we can at least scratch it.

We always hear things done by the international community or at least in the name or term of the international community. It is used to refer to all peoples, cultures and governments of the world or to a group of them. The term is used to imply the existence of common duties and obligations between them.

But is this real the case? Let me give few examples out of many showing that it’s a term used by few countries to get their own interest.

In 1994 more than a million people has been killed in Genocide against Tutsi in Republic of Rwanda under watch of this international community. Hundreds of thousands of people have been killed in Darfur Sudan (Now Republic of South Sudan) examples can go on and on.

And now let us look at Libya. It’s reportedly that less than 2000 has been dead before NATO airstrike. Of course they shouldn’t die. But here we talking of people who took guns. Officially they were (are) rebels that any country should fight, contrary to the previous cases where those millions and hundreds of thousands were unarmed civilians. Let us also compare to Syria. More than 2600 dead, and put all those to the scale.

May be its time to take matters on ourselves (at least me because I experienced its failure in Rwandan Genocide) and don’t depends on this “international community” because what is behind is crystal clear. Not humanitarian or at least 1% of it but 99% are economic interests.
