Is the UN a Reactionary Institution?

Roger L Simon blog

How else to define an organization that puts the Sudan in charge of Human Rights? Why not North Korea? And now today we learn that The Kofia is putting a new firewall in front of Oil-for-Food investigators:

In a defiant move that has infuriated probers, Secretary-General Kofi Annan threw his support behind a letter from former oil-for-food head Benon Sevan to officials of a Dutch company that inspected Iraqi oil shipments. The letter directed the company not to hand over documents to congressional committees and other "governmental authorities."


It goes on. Read it all. Maybe it's just me, but I find unbelievably contemptible the actions and pretences of a man who did little or nothing to save hundreds of thousands from genocide in Rwanda, yet fights tooth-and-nail to hide the most hideous de facto pro-fascist corruption in his own organization.
