Dr. Coburn Urges Under Secretary General Barcena to Promote Real Transparency at the U.N.


Dr. Coburn sent a letter today to the United Nations Under Secretary General for Management, Alicia Barcena, that calls for legitimate accountability and transparency of the United Nations’ $2 billion plus renovation, and throughout the entire U.N. system.

In response to comments made by Dr. Coburn at a recent lecture at the American Enterprise Institute, Under Secretary General Barcena wrote a letter that appeared in the June 9th, 2007 edition of the Washington Times. Today's letter from Dr. Coburn to the Under Secretary General presents the U.N. a better understanding of why taxpayers in free and open societies demand accountability for their over $20 billion investment in the United Nations.
