Let the protests cotinue as long as unjust wars continues Next Protest at Shannon In my view there are far too few protests and protesters at Shannon. There should be a permanent peace camp at Shannon, as long as US troops are abusing Shannon airport and Irish neutrality in breach of the international laws on neutrality. Far more serious are the abuses of human rights being committed by these same troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Killing is the most serious breach of human rights and over half a million deaths have already been caused. |

Jump To Comment: 1UN BANS TWO VENDORS FOLLOWING INTERNAL INVESTIGATION
By George Russell and Claudia Rosett
Signs of the problem spilled out in testimony that a gigantic Russian-based air transport company paid at least $700,000 in “consulting” fees to a United Nations procurement officer, in an arrangement involving at least 10 to 12 U.N. contracts awarded to the firm.
Ms. Montas also said that based on a related investigation by the UN's Procurement Task Force, registered vendors Corimec Italiana S.p.A and Volga Dnepr Airlines and its subsidiary, Volga-Dnepr (Ireland) Ltd., were suspended from the Vendor Database in light of alleged inappropriate relationships between them and a former UN official.
Their web site proudly proclaims that “Since 1992, the Volga-Dnepr Company has always participated in U.N. peace-keeping and humanitarian missions. The Company enjoys the official U.N. carrier status since 1994, and has been on the U.N. supplier roster since 1995.”
Without admitting to taking bribes from Volga-Dnepr, Alexander Yakovlev testified that he had illegally set up what he described as a private consulting firm to assist companies in preparing bids for U.N. procurement contracts in violation of his U.N. impartiality.
Other records obtained by FOX News show that Volga-Dnepr’s Irish subsidiary won $30 million in U.N. contracts in 2005, chiefly for “freight forwarding.” Volga-Dnepr got about $18.6 million in 2004, mostly for the same services.
