...any understanding of the real efforts that job [U.N. reform] entails should begin with a look at the long and murky career of Maurice Strong, the man who may have had the most to do with what the U.N. has become today, and still sparks controversy even after he claims to have cut his ties to the world organization.From Oil for Food to the latest scandals involving U.N. funding in North Korea, Maurice Strong appears as a shadowy and often critically important figure.
Serious journalism here by the indomitable Ms. Rosett. She continues to ask the questions and report the stories that few if any other reporters are even considering, which in my view makes her work all the more critical to the public conversation on the U.N.
