Abstract:

Were the U.N.'s level of integrity higher, the Soviet Union might have been ousted from the General Assembly long before South Africa. Instead, the USSR has coopted the U.N. and turned it into an outpost for its campaign of "active measures" against the West. Consistent and effective exposure of Soviet tactics perhaps can salvage some of the principles originally lauded as U.N. and international standards.
