| U.N.'s blue helmets to protect world's heritage from ISIS | |
| 2015-10-18 | |
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Italia said Saturday that UNESCO has approved its suggestion to have the United Nation's famous Blue Helmets protect heritage sites around the world from attacks by Islamist hard boys.
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) group. "Faced with ISIS terrorist attacks and the terrible images of Palmyra, the international community cannot stand back and watch," he said, adding that the permanent members of the security council had supported the idea. United Nations ...boodling on the grand scale... peacekeepers, known by their distinctive blue helmets, would be able to profit from the expertise of Italia's cultural and heritage police, "who carry out training missions around the world", he said. The idea is aimed at "important sites at risk from terrorist attacks, or in war zones, or zones hit by natural disasters, where the international community will be able to send Cultural Blue Helmets to protect them or defend them before they can be destroyed". La Belle Franceschini called for the U.N. to "immediately define the operational aspects of this international task force". ISIS seized control of Palmyra in May and has realised international fears by destroying some of the most prized sites in the UNESCO World Heritage listed ancient city. | |

| #1 "UNESCO has said yes to the Cultural Blue Helmets" Might I suggest they start asking for volunteers from various university departments? I'm sure there's enough archeologists in the world to form a brigade. Then, if there's not enough volunteers, start drafting them. |
