FT: UN warned it faces overhaul as crisis grows
January 17, 2005

Mainstream media is finally waking up to the idea that its not just the “right of Atilla the Hun” group that has a problem with the UN:
FT.com / World / International economy – UN warned it faces overhaul as crisis grows

“It was possible to see the first wave of the crisis as inspired by the US critics of the UN, but as a clearly neutral voice like Volcker starts to opine as he did in the commentary of the audit, it’s a lot harder to shrug this off as a rightwing conspiracy,” Mr Malloch Brown said.
At the end of this month, Mr Volcker will issue his preliminary
findings. “That may be a transition point,” Mr Malloch Brown said, “where people realise thatbanging [on about] the need for management reform is not [just] responding to Republicans in shoe boxes on the beltway. It should be a mainstream preoccupation of every government shareholder of the UN.”
