UN Must Change To Earn Respect

"If member countries want the United Nations to be respected and effective, they should begin by making sure it is worthy of respect."

President Bush delivered a strongly worded speech calling on the UN to rid itself of corruption.

"...the United Nations must be strong and efficient, free of corruption, and accountable to the people it serves. The United Nations must stand for integrity and live by the high standards it sets for others."

"The President cited the make-up of the UN Human Rights Commission, which has been dominated in recent years by countries such as Cuba, Sudan and Zimbabwe, as a particularly unhappy example of UN hypocrisy."
