#2 The United Nations has drawn up plans to privatise the bulk of its staff at its New York headquarters or have their work done more cheaply overseas.

I'd settle for disbanding and replacement. How about starting immediately?

#4 I work at the UN there is so many people with jobs there because they come from the "third world" who do nothing but sit around all day talking to their friends at home on a phone which the UN pays half the call costs on banning this alone would save millions and then send the f***ers home

#6 Hello T and welcome to Rantburg. Your input is valuable to us since you are actually there. Feel free to let us know when we're wrong about the UN, and, if you work for the US delegation, has Ambassador Bolton seen his RB picture?

#7 T: Excellent points. I'd completely forgotten about sharing a beer in an Irish pub with a Peacekeeper before his deployment to Lebanon years ago. He was bored frequently and called us in the States to chat on his UN Sat phone for hours. Lots of cost cutters are possible.
