The tragic impotence of peace — and democracy — building

The tragic impotence of peace and democracy building Ei Sun Oh Kuala Lumpur: Some readers will recall my having mentioned that more than two decades earlier, I was working at the United Nations office in Geneva, Switzerland. It was a most wonderful experience, where I got to work with colleagues from around the world, but dealing unfortunately with some of the most exigent matters around the world from disasters, natural and manmade alike, to refugees and internally displaced persons. And the distinction between the two latter groups of victims has always been fuzzy at best. For most of the period that I lived in Geneva, I stayed for much of the time but a few hundred meters away from the Palais Wilson, a historic building by Lake Geneva. I used to pass by Palais Wilson, walking down to the lakeside to admire the watery scene. As I did so, I often could not help but sigh at the magnificent building and the modern history it carried.

Has China bitten off more than it can chew?

Has China bitten off more than it can chew? © Provided by Hindustan Times I have argued before that in advancing its territorial claims, China uses carefully calibrated tactics. Each move it makes may not be threatening enough to invite a significant military response, but several incremental actions cumulatively lead to a material change in the situation. Small nibbles lead to a giant bite. We have seen this unfold on our borders. It has been practised with success in the South China Sea (SCS). In earlier track-2 meetings, Chinese interlocutors would say that they did not claim the whole of SCS but only the various islands and waters around them. When asked about the nine-dash line, they said that it was a legacy of the Guomindang government. It will be recalled that when Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru had pointed out to Chinese premier Zhou Enlai that Chinese maps were showing large chunks of Indian territory as part of China, Zhou explained that these were old Guomindang map
