KINGSTON, Jamaica - IT'S now more than six weeks since it became public knowledge for the governments and people of our Caribbean Community that the secretary general of the United Nations, Ban Ki-Moon, had conveyed the very shocking decision to the president of Haiti, Michel Martelly, of the world body's rejection of compensation claims affecting some 5,000 Haitian cholera victims.
But to this day, as far as this columnist is aware, there has been no official public reaction to the UN's callous position to evade its moral responsibility and to summon, instead, to its rescue "legal immunity" against the compensation claims by these Haitians, who are also citizens of CARICOM.
