Coburn Rips U. N. On Its 62nd Anniversary
Senator Tom Coburn today released a list of current U. N. scandals on the 62nd anniversary of the United Nations. The U.N. charter declares the purpose of the world body is to maintain peace and security, develop friendly relations based on respect for equal rights and self-determination, and encourage respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms.
"Unfortunately, 62 years later, the United Nations is incapable of living up to its charter," Coburn's news release said.
For years, there have been attempts to reform the United Nations, both from the secretariat and from the world body’s donors. Unfortunately, all reform efforts have failed.
“The best way to honor the United Nations on its birthday is to help the organization cure its cancer of corruption, fraud, secrecy and impotence that is preventing the United Nations from achieving its mission,” Coburn said.
