The Brits and the U.N.

According to an item in the news...

The British are pulling funds from U.N. agencies deemed to be wasteful and inept. Britain's Department for International Development (DFID) issued a review of funding to the U.N. It placed two agencies on notice, saying they must improve immediately or lose their funding. Four other U.N. agencies fared worse. The UN Human Settlements Programme (UN-HABITAT), the International Labour Organization (ILO), the UN Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), and the UN International Strategy for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR) had their funding withdrawn completely. All other U.N. agencies were harshly criticized.

I think it's time the U.S. conducted a study of what exactly the U.N. does and how it does it. We might just find that the Brits are on to something.
