But diplomatic sources tell TIME the plant is much further along than previously revealed. The sources say work on the plant is "extremely advanced" and involves "hundreds" of gas centrifuges ready to produce enriched uranium and "the parts for a thousand others ready to be assembled."

VII. Meeting the special needs of Africa
27. We will support the consolidation of democracy in Africa and assist Africans
in their struggle for lasting peace, poverty eradication and sustainable
development, thereby bringing Africa into the mainstream of the world
economy.

29. We will spare no effort to make the United Nations a more effective instrument
for pursuing all of these priorities: the fight for development for all the peoples
of the world, the fight against poverty, ignorance and disease; the fight against
injustice; the fight against violence, terror and crime; and the fight against the
degradation and destruction of our common home.

They are not participating in mass murder. I assume they are following the rules of engagement. That would be legal.

You're right, Berg! How could I be so blind!? We should prosecute all those in our military for participating in mass murder.
