Claudia Rosett Is Blogging the Tongsun Park Trial

Here, at National Review. The name Boutros Boutros Ghali has already come up. I’ll be interested in gaining any insight into why the U.N. did nothing for the North Korean people while Park’s friend and fellow bagman Maurice Strong was Kofi Annan’s Special Envoy to North Korea. Previous posts here.

Update: Strong has issued a statement denying any involvement in Oil for Food, but stating, “I have continued to maintain a relationship with Mr. Park. Indeed, as a native of North Korea he has advised me on North Korean issues in my role as UN Envoy.” So an indicted bagman for a genocidal tyrant is acknowledged as a sage on how the U.N. ought to deal with another genocidal tyrant.
