If Bolivia’s left-wing president comes to the U.N., he’ll be a man on something of a mission. Earlier this year, his plane was controversially forced to land in Austria for reasons that remain still unclear. The suspicion was that American whistleblower Edward Snowden was on board (he was not) and the White House had enlisted European allies to stop Morales’ plane. Since then, the angered Bolivian President has become particularly sensitive to the U.S. interfering in the travel of others. After a recent mix-up where a plane carrying Venezuelan President (and Morales’ pal) Nicolas Maduro was temporarily blocked from flying over Puerto Rican airspace, Morales declared he intends to sue the U.S. for “crimes against humanity.”
