The creamy soft-ripened
Camembert looks good today. So does the butterscotch-flavored aged

thick-cut bacon. Many consumers see these foods and head in the
other direction. They are part of that large group plagued by our

THE LEGACY OF THE
HAGUE TRIBUNAL
| February 22
The Hague Tribunal was unprecedented in the work of the UN,
perhaps the Nuremberg Trials providing some historical
guide. Nor did the Tribunal necessarily have unreserved
support from all UN Security Council members. Some were
eager to put forth the prospect of a war crimes tribunal in
1992 and 1993 more as an alternative to resolute action to
confront genocide rather than a sincere commitment to
objective and unqualified justice. By promising justice at
some point in the future, the Security Council cynics
calculated that their inaction at the crucial moment of
witnessing the crime would not make them appear morally,
politically or militarily ambivalent. Their posturing though
was more a philosophical case rather than a serious
commitment: something akin to Santa Claus remembering whom
the bad children were when Christmas comes. Many did not
want to actually see an international war crimes tribunal
established fearing that would become “too independent.”

POLAND'S PRESIDENTIAL
ELECTIONS: A WOMAN WILL SACRIFICE FOR HER HUSBAND |
February 12
Considerable unwillingness within PO to officially
nominate Radoslaw Sikorski has been recently manifested
by Janusz Palikot, a multimillionaire and one of the
most vocal members of PO in the Sejm.Palikot publicly
criticized Sikorski’s wife, Anne Appelbaum, an American
and the Pulitzer Prize winner, who published a column in
the Washington Post in which she expressed approval for
Barack Obama’s refusal to attend U.S.-EU Summit this
year.
Palikot fired back that it is unimaginable that a
potential First Lady of Poland would conduct her own
foreign policy, which is not in line with the official
stance of the government. Sikorski responded that his
wife would resign from her independent career as a
writer and political commentator if he got elected the
president – a comment, which probably did not spark much
enthusiasm among Polish feminists.
