We believe that even with its shortcomings, the UN remains an indispensable tool in bringing together diverse nations and cultures. UN Watch is keenly aware that member states often ask the UN to fulfill mandates and tasks that are neither feasible nor within the means provided. While it would be unrealistic to ignore the UN’s weaknesses, we advocate finding ways to build on its strengths and use its limited resources effectively.Management ReformUN management reform_05c91b2d-ea7d-47d9-958a-459eaccec9b81.1Civil SocietyUN and civil society_870c6a64-2862-4c7a-a45a-04c421edef221.2EqualityEquality within the UN_88e4b485-d331-44b3-a92b-4e726d4b29391.3Member StatesEqual treatment of member states_c29117a3-48a6-43c1-bcdc-30ef05552b321.4UN Watch notes that the disproportionate attention and unfair treatment applied by the UN toward Israel over the years offers an object lesson (though not the only one) in how due process, equal treatment, and other fundamental principles of the UN Charter are often ignored or selectively upheld.2010-02-08http://www.unwatch.org/site/c.bdKKISNqEmG/b.1313591/k.954F/Mission__History.htmArthurColman (www.drybridge.com)colman@drybridge.com
