UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan wrote to the leaders of 11 European, Asian and Gulf nations seeking aid for Darfur, which the UN says is the world's worst humanitarian crisis and the US congress calls "genocide".

Mr Annan said most countries had been miserly in addressing the needs of Darfur, where separatist rebels staged an uprising last year, after which Arab militias killed tens of thousands of African villagers and drove more than a million more from their homes.

The resolution called on Iran to come clean on its nuclear program but did not threaten action for noncompliance.

The league of Nations failed, though we tried.
The UN has failed, though we tried.
Time to setup a new organisation, one that is cognizant of the new world, and the inherent limitations of planetary oganisation.
