Note
The UN is not complicated. Developing countries pay a tiny proportion of the bills, but have the numbers to do the spending. So imagine their horror, to learn that $1-a-day appointed representatives are getting travel and other perks. The first thing they do is complain about spending, and the second is to demand that "potential candidates be drawn from the widest possible geographical basis." In other words, they want a piece of the pie. All those movie stars may just have to start working for a respectable organization.
