Egeland advocates that the U.N. Security Council take punitive steps short of war, such as freezing the regime's assets and issuing warrants for the arrest of individual junta members if they were...
...little better than last year,” Britt said. According to Britt, this year, the UC funded $343,643.54 out of $542,141.20 requested. Last year the UC funded $293,943.70 of $477,970.95.
