Document security flap at U.N. causes uproar
And people want to let the U.N. run the Internet root? Right...
Patience Wait and Dawn S. Onley write in GCN.com:
A “technical fault” in a U.N. report on the assassination of the prime minister of Lebanon that was posted to the Internet has led to a crisis at the world body and heightened tensions in the international community.
The report, summarizing the investigation by Detlev Mehlis, the German prosecutor heading up the U.N. International Independent Investigation Commission into the Valentine’s Day assassination of Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, was presented Oct. 20 to the U.N. Security Council.
The report did not identify specific suspects by name but when the electronic document was posted online, readers quickly discovered that the “track changes” function of the file could be enabled—revealing any revisions made to the document.
