Kadhafi: "Wise Man Bill Clinton Should Help To Settle World Conflicts"

[Nbadan]

Kadhafi a fan of the big dog? Who would have thought?


[quote]Libya offered some colourful ideas for reforming the United Nations , including moving the General Assembly to Geneva and letting Bill Clinton (news - web sites) resolve the world's conflicts and wars.

Libyan leader Moamer Kadhafi, never shy about putting forward visionary proposals, also wants his nation to have a permanent seat on the UN Security Council, Libyan Foreign Minister Abdurrahman Mohamed Shalghem said. "The past 59 years have proven that the General Assembly is merely a decorative body without a soul," Shalghem said as Libya took the podium at the annual United Nations debate of world leaders which concludes this week.

He said key powers invested in the 15-nation Security Council, such as the legal authority for military action, should be transferred to the assembly, which groups all 191 UN member states. "If this cannot be accomplished, we have no choice but to abandon the General Assembly and stop infusing money into this dead body," Shalghem said.

The implication was that Kadhafi would not want to visit the United States, a frequent sparring partner of his regime in Tripoli. Kadhafi also wants the establishment of a "committee of wise men" to settle the world's conflicts and called on the United Nations to pass a resolution in support of his idea, Shalghem said. The committee would be comprised of three former presidents -- Clinton of the United States, Mikhail Gorbachev of the now-defunct Soviet Union and Nelson Mandela from South Africa.[/quote]
