I am struggling to give you a comment on the UN statement by Vitit Muntarbhorn because the statement really doesn’t say anything of substance. It reiterates basic UN principles and how the UN wants the parties to work together toward achieving peace but there is nothing meaningful to advance peace. Words are helpful but in matters of life, death and the suffering of the innocent, they ring hollow absent observable actions.
