LETTER:UN responsibility
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.From Mr Farrukh Hyder
Sir: Everyone should be held accountable for not doing a job properly. In daily life, failure to perform one's duties can often lead to the sack.
By a similar token, what can we expect from the UN following the revelation that Lieutenant-General Bernard Janvier repeatedly refused to give air support to UN troops at the time of Srebrenica's fall (front page, 30 October)? Bearing in mind that 8,000 people died in Srebrenica, will the failure to protect this "safe area" be simply put down to the Western governments' unwillingness to act? And should those of us with a moral conscience allow the politicians off the hook and simply turn our backs on the wives and daughters and mothers of the 8000 who died?
Yours,
