The U.N. guards the vital principles entrenched in its charter, notably the sovereign equality of states and the inadmissibility of interference in their internal affairs. It is precisely because the U.N. is the chief guardian of both these sacrosanct principles that it alone is allowed to approve derogations from them.

Internal Affairs' is my first full-length play.

Flanagan: Internal affairs says Conklin has two suspicious shootings on his record both black men, both times he was cleared because he cited self defense. Detective Lewis makes black man number three do you know any reason we should investigate further?
Graham: It's more complicated than we originally thought. We found three hundred thousand dollars in the

trunk of the car Detective Lewis was driving. The car is registered to a Cindy Bradley. We haven't been able to get in touch with because she apparently left town.
Flanagan: So it wasn't Lewis's car he might not have even known the money was in it.
Graham: You really think you'll be able to make that fly?
Flanagan: we have

attorneys for this slain police officer camping in our offices. We have his mother and half a dozen men of "the cloth" who swear that Lewis was one of the twelve apostles of Christ. We have two black city council men and a Congresswoman who called on the hour every hour demanding what the district attorney intends to do about this and you want the DA to walk into that press room and tell them all

that the situation is "complicated"? Who knows about the money?
Graham: [Sensing Flanagan is implying a cover up] You've got to be kidding
Flanagan: There's only two people in this room
Graham: Myself, my partner, Jim Ferguson and Internal Affairs
Flanagan: I guess I don't see a problem here as it

wasn't Lewis's fault the money isn't evidence of any wrongdoing and even if it was we aren't going to prosecute a dead man which means the money Internal Affairs is holding can't even be considered evidence.
Graham: We can do this whole dance if you want to but I'm willing to bet when the coroner's report comes back tomorrow it's going to say that Lewis was coked out of his

head.

internal affairs and I'm telling you, you can get in a lot of trouble
Kaffee: You're not suggesting I back off from the material witness?
