The U.N. is kind of a mess
Manage episode 493554500 series 2418324
The United Nations is a storied institution, but it lacks teeth to actually make a difference. Journalist Amanda Chicago Lewis joins host Krys Boyd to discuss why U.N. resolutions are easily ignored, how red tape keeps workers from forwarding policy recommendations, and why the culture inside the agency belies the peaceful exterior it tries to project. Her article “Wishful Thinking” was published in Harper’s.
