Why Must the U.N. Be Central to Addressing Global Warming?
Schaefer, Brett D.
Heritage Foundation, November 6, 2009, online edition, 4p
"The U.N. is supposed to be a neutral facilitator, not
a decision-making body. The decisions over what commitments
nations make should be left to their respective
governments—they have to justify them to the
citizens who will be affected. In this debate, the U.N.
has moved inappropriately beyond serving as bureaucratic
“butlers of the process” to full-blown advocates
pushing for ever more stringent commitments in the
face of countervailing evidence and lack of political support for its suggested actions."
Brett D. Schaefer is the Jay Kingham fellow in International Regulatory Affairs at The Heritage Foundation.
