UN - Cess Pool

Andrew Bolt has a great round up of the UN's crimes under Annan and concludes that not only should Annan go but the UN should be scaled back.

Here's a sample:

Count just some of the recent scandals to erupt under Annan's leaden feet.

FIFTY UN peacekeepers and officials who served in the Congo face charges of sexual exploitation and rape. One, Frenchman Didier Bourguet, has been charged with running an internet pedophile ring.

JORDANIAN UN peacekeepers are accused of raping children in East Timor, according to a secret UN report obtained by The Australian, and two were sent home after injuring themselves having sex with goats.

IN 2002, a UN report found "widespread" evidence that UN soldiers sexually abused West African refugees.

CUBA, Zimbabwe and Saudi Arabia -- gross abusers of human rights -- were appointed in February to the five-nation working group which sets the agenda for UN Human Rights Commission meetings.

SUDAN, accused of committing genocide, was last year elected to this same commission, which was chaired by the Libya dictatorship the year before.

ANNAN last month conceded the present Human Rights Commission should be scrapped, because it now had a "credibility deficit ... which casts a shadow on the reputation of the United Nations system as a whole".

A SENIOR employee of the UN's World Meteorological Organisation was revealed to have stolen $4 million this year.

RUUD Lubbers, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, was forced to quit in February after being accused of groping staff.

A REVIEW of the UN office responsible for monitoring elections this week found its Uruguayan boss had staff run personal errands for her, and rewarded favourites with unjustified travel, while other staff complained of "blatant favouritism" and a culture of fear.
