#1 I got an idea. Let's move the UN to the developing nations and cut off our funding and see how they fair!

#4 If every nation gets an equal vote on budgetary matters, then each nation should make an equal contribution. No pay, no play.

#5 This is the beginning of the end for the UN. The developed nations are demanding reform and accountability. The developing nations are demanding the status quo. The final act will depend upon the developed nations, because they are fiscally accountable to their countries. Just have them gradually back off on the money contributions to the UN and the whole corrupt organization will collapse on itself. Go out with a whimper. NYC cops will sigh with relief.

#8 Huh? Israel is one of the "main contibutor to the UN"? Masochism? Or do they fear that if they do not contibute, this org will be even more slanted against them?

#9 Failed Nations, methinks. The new name for the "UN". Failed nations on welfare with rich, rich despots. Time to walk away and create a democratic country-based union. Secular democracy.

#10 'Developing countries', are like the Gang of 77 who adopted the Peter Principle for their Constitution...and they are maxed out on stupid.
Professional panhandlers all.
