1The issue of sanctions. In 1998, Denis Halliday the United Nations' then Humanitarian Coordinator in Iraq resigned in protest at what he described as a genocidal sanctions regime. His successor in the job, Hans von Sponeck, a UN veteran who had achieved the rank of UN assistant secretary general, quit in protest less than two years later. And sanctions have remained controversial ever since--including during the past week as Israel's blockade of Gaza hit the headlines when nine people were killed by Israeli commandos as they commandeered a flotilla of ships attempting to deliver humanitarian goods to Gaza.
