The imminent breach of a promise by EU states to spend 0.7% of their gross income on overseas aid by 2015 is sparking calls for the UN to be given ‘coercive’ powers to force rich nations to honor future aid pledges.

The secretary-general of the Africa-Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) group of states, Alhaji Mumuni, and the chairwoman of the European Parliament’s development committee, Eva Joly, both told EurActiv that they favored giving the UN stronger policy-setting powers.

That has been the plan all along. Conservatives have been saying that for decades, only to be greeted by the totalitarian left with eye rolls and accusations of being paranoid conspiracy theorists. SOP for the world's progressives.

At the very least, we need to leave and defund the UN now.

The UN doesn't need a shot in the arm. They need a shot in the head. It is time to disband the thieving socialist debaters club. Get them off US soil and out of our pockets.
