Abstract:

The network of Soviet bloc control at DCS not only violates the substance and the spirit of the United Nations rules but puts the U.S. and the West at serious disadvantage. As the main paymaster of DCS, the U.S. has the right to demand fair treatment and economical service from the Department. To achieve this, the U.S. should press for changes in the DCS operation.
