Legislation that would withhold funding for the United Nations is fundamentally flawed in concept and practice, sets us back, is self-defeating, and doesn't work.

I'm a member of the US committee o the United Nations.

There is no such thing as the United Nations.

The United Nations is an indispensable but deeply flawed organization. It is valuable to the United States, and the United States is invaluable to it. We need to reform it.

I really do hope that the Millennium Summit gives new impetus to the work of the United Nations.

The United Nations should become a proactive agent in the dissemination of democratic principles.
