Angola: One of Africa's 'lesser wars' UNPO is an international organisation created by nations and peoples around the world who are not represented as such in the world's principal international organisations, such as the United Nations. Founded in 1991, UNPO today consists of nearly 50 members and observer nations and peoples who represent over 100 million persons. In view of the international community's great aversion to reviewing or even considering to review the processes and implementation of decolonisation, they are then left with the rather embarrassing option of having to condone an oppressive colonial-style occupation, not to mention a large-scale military operation involving a large number of civilian victims. www.indexonline.org /en/news/articles/2002/4/one-of-africas-lesser-wars.shtml   (834 words)

Recognise us! The Unrepresented Nations & Peoples Organisation There were also a couple of delegations clamouring for entry to this club for peoples with nowhere else to go: Baluchistan and Talish, both of whom reacted to their formal admissions to the Unpo with a delight which was genuinely moving. One of the resolutions agreed by the general assembly was the establishment of a full-scale World Cup for non-nations, an event which could result in some truly fantastical contests: Tatarstan vs Buryatia, Cabinda vs Nagaland, Kurdistan vs Somaliland, East Turkestan vs Circassia, Zanzibar vs Scania, Assyria vs Mapuche. The existence of the Unpo and, more to the point, the sixty organisations and parties which constitute its membership, seems an anomaly. www.opendemocracy.net /xml/xhtml/articles/2667.html   (975 words)
