Let me see if I understand this circular logic:
The US and UK are to blame for allowing unsupervised exports under a program which the UN was in charge of supervising.
In other words, The US and UK are to blame because they did not do the UN's job.
I wonder if Kofi realizes the argument he is using essentially says that the UN itself is irrelevant, and that the member states are to blame for not doing everything on their own.
Obviously logic isn't a stong point at the UN these days.

You are very close. Let's look at it this way and then you can respond.
"The US and UK are to blame for allowing unsupervised exports under a program which the UN was in charge of supervising." In other words for not sending in troops to stop what the UN was in charge of, and not only that the US and the UK did not have permission from the UN to send in any troops, so it is the US and the UK fault for not doing what the UN did not give them permission to do.
