Why was it allowed to continue as it did?
Responsibility goes a long way when it comes to reputation and influence...

I'm sure the UN is used as a tool for opportunist; activities we mere mortals do not approve of. All governing bodies are tools for the elites. All we can do is minimize it because human greed is a reality. If we can remove human greed then we can fix this problem.
