(UN un effectiveness) :
True in political terms. False in Humanitarian terms.


I think this is only marginally true. First, you have to ignore Rwanda to make that claim. Second, reports from the ground in Afghanistan about UN effectiveness are very mixed. The politics of the UN get in the way on the ground.

The function of any bureaucracy is to not make mistakes, it is not designed to take effective action.
