Fraud? What fraud? Watchdogs find UN in 'a state of near denial' about internal corruption
The United Nations, which spends tens of billions of its member states’ dollars annually, apparently has a simple approach to dealing with fraud in its sprawling operations – ignore it.
That is the main thrust of a 133-page examination of “fraud detection, prevention and response” across 28 organizations in the U.N.’s network, carried out by members of the world organization’s Joint Inspection Unit (JIU), a special group of experts mandated to carry out examinations across the entire array of U.N. funds, organizations and programs.
A bit more;
After a nine-month examination last year of the U.N. organization’s anti-fraud policies, what JIU examiners found was something akin to anarchy: a “state of near denial” among some U.N. organizations about the theft of their goods, money and services; and inertia, incoherence and a “perceived sense of impunity for fraud perpetrators” in many others.
Among other results: the report declares that “more than half” of some 16,000 U.N. staffers and 164 executive managers consulted in a JIU “fraud perception survey” that formed part of the work, “indicated that they believe that fraudulent behavior goes unpunished in their organization.”
The stuff we have heard about is only the tip of the iceberg. The idea that we are handing over so much of our taxpayer dollars to them and that they occupy prime Manhattan real estate is unreal. Time to move them to Zimbabwe. Mugabe's presidential palace is gorgeous.
