the UN

Hard to know what to conclude re the proposed UN reform.

Not to doubt that it needs reform. I have mates who done and do work for the UN and it’s agencies. The stories one hears, well I have no doubt that the UN is riddled by cynicism, incompetence, nepotism, corruption, sexual harassment and sexual assault.

Indeed, rumours abound that an agency head was finally nailed because he groped a Hollywood star who is a UN ambassador. Apparently it was thought he had finally gone too far. Perhaps Roger L Simon knows more.

I guess the real question is whether it is better to make a fundamentally flawed organisation better, and perhaps enhance it's power, or acknowledge that it has it’s uses, but better it has no real grunt.
