Humanitarian services, activities and operations are getting more needed, more cumbersome and more dangerous around the world. Now, the world must review, reconsider and redesign them. International laws must be revamped for this purpose. Best Practices must established and benchmarked. Compliance must be strict and total. No contempt, no excuses, no delays.

I think the United States, the European Union and the African Union need to lead the United Nations in this matter. It is now dire.

Let's have a Clinton Commission on this, drawing as members Gorbachev, Schroeder, Jiang, Bono, Soyinka, Barak, Amanpour, Simpson, Boutrous-Ghali, Powell, Thatcher, Gandhi, Fox....... among others, including some legal, military, media and aid-agencies' veterans....totalling 17. They should be fully serviced by the UNHCR.

The UN Clinton Commission should sit for 12 Months. Its report must be approved by the UN General Assembly, latest, by December 2008.
