...residents of Sarajevo -- in effect pushing them into a sympathetic hunger strike. In disgust at the intransigence on all sides, Sadako Ogata, the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, ordered a stop to all U.N. relief efforts until they can be carried out without hindrance. U.N. Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali promptly rebuked her and ordered shipments resumed, remarking, "I am supposed to direct this operation." At week's end a 10-truck convoy had been waved through by Serbs, but still could not get to besieged Gorazde over shell- cratered roads. Then Bosnian Serbs and Izetbegovic found separate, and rather...
...Israel's tactic, fashioned in part by Washington, satisfied few outside the Clinton Administration. The deportees held out for full enforcement of Security Council Resolution 799, which demands their immediate and unconditional return. Meeting with American Jewish leaders on Tuesday, Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali suggested that the proposal did not satisfy U.N. demands. Back home, Rabin, attacked by the right-wing Likud Party for "capitulation to terrorist organizations, Arab governments and leftist ministers in the Cabinet," told the Knesset that Israel retained the option of deporting more Palestinians...
...Clinton team would love to put off the sanctions debate so Israel can devise a face-saving way out. But outspoken U.N. Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali got the Palestinians smelling blood. The Security Council, he advised, should use "whatever measures are required" to enforce the month- old resolution calling for the return of the deportees. The P.L.O., which has observer status at the U.N., is pushing hard among Arab and nonaligned members to bar Israel from international conferences on human rights. It also proposes barring nations from trading with Israeli companies that do business in the occupied territories...
...chance. Creation of a force cannot start until the Security Council passes an authorizing resolution, and no drafts are yet circulating. Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali has discussed with some U.N. members possible troop contributions to a force that might exceed 20,000. But he has had only perfunctory contacts with President Clinton's advisers, and no one seems to be discussing the vital question of rules of engagement -- that is, under what circumstances the peacekeepers could shoot. So the 25,000 U.S. and 12,000 other foreign troops remaining in Somalia may be stuck for weeks or months...
...deployed quickly. "If the U.S., as a superpower, has discovered that it cannot be a global cop, how can we expect that role of the Secretary-General, with his meager resources?" asks a British diplomat. Despite persistent problems for the U.N. around the world, and his personal abrasiveness, Boutros-Ghali has shown that the organization can play a constructive, perhaps ultimately even decisive, role in the quest for peace. What he needs is for member nations to set reasonable goals -- and then give him the wherewithal to see them through...
