E-DRUG: Inappropriate donations to Aceh (6)
------------------------------------------------

Dear E-druggers,
Whilst there is a lot of value and sense in what Phillip says, certainly from a point of view of importance of this problem, we should also remember that are countless number of UN resolutions with potentially more catastrophic global consequence, "nuclear" comes to mind, which have been ignored in the past. 

It seems to me that a key problem will continue to be how empowered recipients are, even in the face of extreme adversity, such as in Aceh, to say "No" to bad donations. Let us remember that resolutions at the UN are tabled by member states. Perhaps this is where should start
good practices, well before disaster strikes again as it will.
