OK.Nope. At least as far back as 18thcentury. Try again, plebe
but as far as the UN goes:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Responsibility_to_protect
The Responsibility to Protect (R2P or RtoP) is a global political commitment which was endorsed by all member states of the United Nations at the 2005 World Summit to prevent genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity.
Need to protect those citizens but not all the other tyrants in the area that just so happen to be "our friends".."Responsibility to Protect"
was a failed UN doctrine cooked up by Madeline Albright that Clinton borrowed to push interventionism on the cheap
exactly.. we supported Saddam when he was fighting Iran- then we called him a terrorist after 9-11 when he clearly had nothing to do with it. whatever we find convenient -facts be damnedNeed to protect those citizens but not all the other tyrants in the area that just so happen to be "our friends"..
I remember BAC saying lil' Kim would be a fool to give up nukes. He is correct.
detrrance doesn't work with NK.Yep, the very reason many others want them as well.......
SPeaking of the lil devil~he seems to continue on w/ his testing..
trump did a lil bluffing & he wasn't deterred in the least, or so it seems??
The regime is built on a war footing -they don't even recognize an end to the Korean war.
The only thing I can think of is to stop imploring China, and start telling them we are going to surround the peninsula with anti-ballistic weapons.
But it didn't help that S.Korea is balking on the new THAAD system
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-northkorea-missiles-south-thaad-idUSKBN18Q0I3
The Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system battery was initially deployed in March in the southeastern region of Seongju with just two of its maximum load of six launchers to counter a growing North Korean missile threat.
"President Moon said it was very shocking" to hear the four additional launchers had been installed without being reported to the new government or to the public, presidential spokesman Yoon Young-chan told a media briefing.
Moon had campaigned on a more moderate approach to Pyongyang, calling for engagement even as the reclusive state pursues nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs in defiance of U.N. Security Council resolutions and
threats of more sanctions.

Moon's order of a probe into the THAAD launchers came amid signs of easing tensions between South Korea and China, a major trading partner.
China has been incensed over the THAAD deployment, fearing it could enable the U.S. military to see into its own missile systems and open the door to wider deployment, possibly in Japan and elsewhere, military analysts say.
South Korean companies have faced product boycotts and bans on Chinese tourists visiting South Korea, although China has denied discrimination against them.
I don't think we sold it to them, i think we just deployed it..I think they are balking @ the price.........
China has concerns but hopefully it will help motivate them to act & stop w/ the calls for more dialogue..
They have a vested interest as well, not letting the kid get the ability to hit Peking or the USA..
Everything shows me- despite Trump's assurances- that China is more interested in keeping the status quo
then anything else.
I think we need to prod them..lol. tell them if they want our navy all over the S China sea, etc.

Former professional basketball player Dennis Rodman spoke out in an exclusive interview with ABC News about his recent trip to North Korea, suggesting that he is partly responsible for the reclusive nation's release of American college student Otto Warmbier, who died last Monday, just days after being medically evacuated from a North Korean prison.
"I was just so happy to see the kid released," Rodman told "Good Morning America" co-anchor Michael Strahan of when he first learned of Warmbier's release. "Later that day, that's when we found out he was ill, no one knew that. We jumped up and down ... Some good things came of this trip."

Warmbier, who was released on the same day that Rodman arrived in North Korea for a brief visit, was sent back to the U.S. in a state of unresponsive wakefulness, according to doctors at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center.
The University of Virginia student was detained by North Korea for nearly 17 months following his January 2016 arrest in Pyongyang, for allegedly trying to steal a propaganda poster while he was visiting the country on a sightseeing tour.
Despite Rodman's belief that he had something to do with Warmbier's release, a Department of State spokesperson has said that Rodman had nothing to do with Warmbier's release, according to the Associated Press. Warmbier's father also said in a statement to ABC News that "Dennis Rodman had nothing to do with Otto returning to the United States."
Chris Volo, Rodman's agent who accompanied the athlete on his trip to North Korea, told ABC News that before they went, "I asked on behalf of Dennis for his release three times."
"I know being there had something to do with it," Volo said of Warmbier's release. "Because when I was organizing the trip ... and I meet with the delegates here, you know, I addressed ... Otto Warmbier. And I said to them, 'we...would need his...you know, a release, some type of good faith, if we're ever going to do some type of future sports relations ... They said they understood."
Rodman said he wished to "give all the prayer and love" to the Warmbier's family, adding "I didn't know that he was sick."
Volo added that they have contacted the family and are hoping to meet them, "but we were told that, you know, it just couldn't happen."
The two-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year said he didn't meet with North Korea's leader, Kim Jong-Un, during his most recent visit.
"The previous times we did," he added. "I think the fact that, you know, my trips going up to North Korea is more like trying ... to get to communicate sports-wise. It ain't about trying to release people."
"It's not trying to do ... political stuff. It's almost just trying to reach out for sports and see if I can bring sports to North Korea," Rodman said.

'People don't see ... the good side about that country'
Rodman also discussed how the country has changed over the course of his visits, saying "we've seen a lot of changes," including "the fact that it is so modernized now."
"When you go over there, and you hear the radio, and ... people are talking," Rodman said. "They're so happy now, because it's more like ... it's civilized again."
Rodman, who calls North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un a friend, said, "people don't see ... the good side about that country. It's like going, like, to Asia. It's like going to like Istanbul, Turkey, or any place like that. It's pretty much just like that. You're know, you going to see some poverty. You're going to see some people that's not doing too well."
"I think people don't see him as ... a friendly guy," Rodman added of the country's dictator, adding "if you actually talk to him" you would see a different side of him.
"We sing karaoke," Rodman added of his relationship with Jong-Un. "It's all fun. Ride horses, everything."
