May I ask you two questions:
1.) Is this plannend Australian intervention somehow backed by the UN? If not do you know why this situation is ignored by the UN?
2.) Do the Solomons have any natural resources of relevance?

1) No. I don't believe that the current problem is pressing enough to be worth the time of the UN Security Council. As crises go, this one is pretty small in the grand scheme of things.
2) Tropical timber, some gold deposits (not terribly rich), fish. That's about it. |
