china and information flow - need for a global regulator

i have always known that information flow from china is suspect and had always believed that it needs free up the flow for the sake of the international community.
take a look at this, a outbreak of bird flu takes place on Oct 26 and it gets reported on nov 4.
pretty unbeliveable.

just think about the consequences of withholding of information, which is needed for the whole of humanity. we need to have a global body, an arm of the UN, to regulate the flow of information. to see all need info. is available for making better decisions for the sake of humanity. countries guilty of withholding sensitive info - in the sense of human wellbeing - should be punished severely.

mr anonymous,
unlike a citizen of a country where he/ she will be subjected to the law of the land without his/ her consent.
the UN does not have the power to enforce its writ. in this scenario, how can one have an effective international system???
Illuminate mr anonymous!!
