i've just received a number of the same junk regarding the united nations collecting signatures to petition us not to go to war. anybody with normal human brains and who can understand what the un is will undoubtedly know that this is a hoax, a big joke, an abuse of internet resources, a waste of cyber terrain, a cause of net traffic jams.
the extract from http://www.unicwash.org/unic%20was%20response%20to%20petition.htm appended below explains it all.
cheers and please stop all you know from participating in distasteful and unprofessional net conduct.
The UN is NOT involved in soliciting or collecting such petitions. We would suggest that since it is member governments of the UN who will decide on whatever action occurs in various situations, citizens should contact their own government.
Member states of the United Nations decide on the policies and programs of the organization. Citizens wishing to express their views or concerns on any issue, such as international peace and security should consider addressing their views first to the officials of their own government. The General Assembly is the main deliberative body of the UN, where all member states have one vote, and where issues relating to peace and security, admission of new Members and budgetary measures are decided by a two-third's vote. The Security Council with 5 permanent and ten rotating member states has primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security and has the power to make decisions binding on all members of the organization. Security Council Decisions on major issues require nine votes, including the concurring votes of all the permanent members: China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States. The 10 other current members of the Security Council are: Angola, Bulgaria, Cameroon, Chile, Germany, Guinea, Mexico, Pakistan, Spain and Syria.
Your inquiry and interest in the work of the United Nations are appreciated.
