Watson was concerned.

"The fact is we're going to go marching into Cardassia expecting to see the
former Ambassador on what basis? We need to validate further our reasons to
protect ourselves as well as the former Ambassador."
Rilg could understand the hoo-man's concern. The Council was taking a
risk in confronting the Cardassians over Golan Dulath. It was something
that could clearly be considered an internal. "Ambassador, in preparations
for coming to Earth and Spacedock, I studied your planets, its people, and their
history. I believe that there was once an organization on it called the
United Nations."

"My apologies," replied the Ferengi with a smile. "I bring it up
because I see a lot of parrallels between this United Nations and the
Diplomatic Council. It was set up in the hopes of preventing large scale
wars by preventing some of the causes of your first two world wars."

"Well, sometimes this organization would get involved in efforts that were
not necessarily peacekeeping or peacemaking in nature, at least along strict
terms. During the late twentieth and early twenty-first century, there was
a great deal of concern about incidents of genocide or ethnic
cleansing. While often along ethnic lines, the root of the problem was
often tied also to political differences. The organization stepped in and
supplied people to protect those being harmed to protect their 'inalienable
human rights'. In fact, one portion of the organization was called the
Human Right Commission and was devoted to protecting these rights no matter how
small the group being harmed. If I am not mistaken, there are some
parrallels to our current sitatuation."

"While I woudl agree that this is not something that the Council would
press to the point of war, but it is our duty to file an official resolution
against such treatment whether it be against an individual or a group.
That is what your own United Nations would have done."
