The United Nations simply isn't competent to run programmes on the scale of Oil-for-Food... in fact, the United Nations isn't really competent enough to run programmes on any scale, but that's another story.
The responsibility for any corruption rests firmly with the member states, not with the UN secretariat. The members states set up the Oil-for-Food programme, and they should have set up better oversight mechanisms.
And if the member states were complicit in the corruption itself... well, that's the wonderful world of realpolitik for you. After all, why stop dealing with Saddam when you can have your cake and eat it too? |
