Federal authorities charged postal worker Gregory I. Armstrong, 42, with falsely claiming that he was a self-ruling sovereign nation and therefore entitled to collect $1 million against his boss for using his name, which he said had been copyrighted. Armstrong initiated involuntary bankruptcy proceedings against Odell Johnson, his supervisor at a U.S. Postal Service center in Capitol Heights, Md., after Johnson admonished, then suspended, him for repeated absences from work. "It was sort of nightmarish," Johnson said. "They were threatening to foreclose my home." The bankruptcy proceedings ended after it became clear that Armstrong is not his own country and, according to the federal indictment, "not a member of the United Nations.

Is America on the right path to combat climate change? One member of a United Nations group following the issue told Utah lawmakers on Wednesday that the country could be headed toward a potentially dangerous slippery slope. Addressing the Legislature's Public Utilities and Technology Committee, U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change member Tom Tripp said that questions surrounding the overall impact of so- called global warming suggest that more research is warranted before major -- and potentially costly -- policy changes are implemented.
Janusz Bugajski's fuzzy characterizations of Russia's position on Kosovo - "the Kremlin can claim," "Russia is posing," "Moscow is posturing" - mask the fact that, on this issue, the Russians hold the high ground in defense of the accepted principles of national sovereignty and territorial integrity ("Kosovo as part of Russia's design," Commentary, Friday). Nothing in the rules of the international system to which all member states have committed themselves under the United Nations Charter allows the ripping away of any country's territory without its consent.

BENGHAZI, Libya -- Short and skinny when he arrived at the University of Pittsburgh in September 1978, Mahmoud Jibril gained the attention of top professors for his outsized ability to articulate the political and economic realities of the Middle East. A member of Libya's most prominent tribe, Jibril had worked for his country's foreign service in Cyprus and at the United Nations and seemed at home in the United States despite tensions between the countries, friends and former professors said.

BANGKOK (AP) - The United Nations has ruled the continued detention of pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi violates Myanmar's laws as well as those of the international community, a legal document says. Although the ruling is unlikely to win Suu Kyi's release, it is uncommon for the world body to accuse a member country of violating its own laws.
On May 9, the Argentine Republic was elected by the United Nations General Assembly to integrate the Human Rights Council, the new U.N. body that will replace the Commission on Human Rights established in 1947. Our country was elected by the United Nations General Assembly as one of the 47 member states to this new Council. We are grateful to all those states that, bearing in mind our tragic history of gross and systematic human-rights violations, valued our present record and commitments in this field. This election implies a deep responsibility toward all persons, organizations and governments that expect this body to guarantee a major enforcement of human rights around the world.
