sobre Naciones Unidas

Me encanta leer cosas como esta:

The Economist, March 15th-21st 2008, p. 71:

"The oddity in hindsight is that most of the malefactors seem to have been businessmen, not members of the UN bureaucracy, which many American congressmen denounced as a nest of corruption. So far only two UN officials have been charged with oil-for-food offences - Mr Yakovlev, and Benon Sevan, who ran the programme. Charged with taking nearly $160.000 in bribes, he has fled to his native Cyprus. Arguably, the real culprits at the UN were not its officials but the Security Council, whose five permanent members invented a scheme that was wide open to abuse but who failed to impose the necessary safeguards."

Dedicado con cariño a todos aquellos amigos de las Naciones Unidas que de manera torticera y/o por desconocimiento le echan la culpa de todos los males del planeta y del más allá.
