Abstract:
America should stop treating the United Nations as if it were a benign organization sympathetic to U.S. interests. The U.N. is a political body and its member states are generally opposed to U.S. objectives. America should seek to enhance accountability in the U.N. through transparency, oversight, and finance reform.
