I said that, from what I read, all over the place, I am 'getting the impression' ......
Hang on - I have found a criticism of the UN! And in relation to 'International Law in Cyprus Problem'
[quote]Initially, a fundamental mistake was made in the context of the UN Security Council, resolution of 186 (1964), regarding the deployment of the UN Peace keeping forces on the island to restore law and order. According to the principles of international law, in order to send UN troops to a country, which could be interpreted as intervention in the domestic affairs, prerequisite consent of the relevant state was essential. With Cyprus'
case, the distinct approval of representatives of both parties should have been obtained for the resolution for UN engagement, (due to the bi-communal structure of the 1960 Constitution based on power-sharing arrangements between the two communities) however, the UN Security Council undervalued the fact that the Turkish Cypriots were driven away from all governmental bodies by force and decision making processes of the
ROC was usurped by the Greek Cypriots. In other word, the ROC was now under “occupation” of the Greek Cypriots, and it was “cleansed” from Turkish Cypriots. Thus, UN officials sought the approval of the now Greek-Cypriot-run-ROC to send UN troops to the island, Separately approval of the Turkish Cypriot authorities, co-partners of the ROC, was not obtained. This act of the UN in 1964, a gigantic blunder, marks the beginning of the era of the recognition of the Greek Cypriot administration, as the “legitimate government of the ROC”
But as it was written by some bods called Arslan and Güven, I doubt you will consider that it 'counts'
I am looking for stuff. Of course I read much criticism of all sorts of bodies and other countries in HERE - I am more interested to read what officials, govt representatives, university studies etc. have to say - and ever mindful that their comments probably are 'watered down' or that they have to be 'diplomatic' when they make them.
But you don't need to read between the lines too much to get the gist of most of them.
On the other hand - are you saying that the EU, the wider global community and everyone else - is quite happy for the Cy Prob to drag on for another 36 years? And that none of them are fed up with it, or fed up with both sides, or see Cyprus as an embarrassment to the EU?
