		With these words Waldheim is making two important claims about the moral status of his involvement in the atrocities, claims which in many ways seem to reflect the way in which people commonly think about their failures to act.
		Clearly Waldheim's request for understanding is based upon the presupposition that his failure to resist did not constitute a failure to fulfill a duty or obligation.
		Consequently, Waldheim's position regarding his own involvement can perhaps be stated by affirming, on the one hand, that what he did was neither good nor praiseworthy, and denying, on the other hand, that he thereby failed to fulfill a duty or obligation.

	LA VANGUARDIA DIGITAL - Ingresado en el hospital Kurt Waldheim, polémico ex presidente de Austria
		Waldheim, quien fue presidente de Austria entre 1986 y 1992, y secretario general de la ONU entre 1972 y 1981, fue centro de una polémica internacional a mediados de los años 80 debido a su pasado en la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

		A pesar de estas acusaciones, Waldheim ganó las elecciones presidenciales con una amplia mayoría del 54 por ciento y lideró a la república alpina entre 1986-1992, mandato que vivió en aislamiento diplomático, también debido a haber sido declarada "persona non grata" por parte de Estados Unidos.
