As President Bush addressed the United Nations Wednesday, a new advertising campaign blasting the world organization was going on just outside the UN's New York City headquarters.
While the UN began celebrating its 60th anniversary, signs reading "Broken Promises: The United Nations at 60" were plastered on locations surrounding the Turtle Bay building.
The advertisements for a new, in-depth documentary on UN failures were purchased by the Citizens United Foundation (view the trailer here). The ad campaign was timed to begin Wednesday as 170 heads of state gathered in NYC for the United Nations World Summit.
The ads are located on a truck circling the block just outside the UN building, on a ferry on the East River, and on a billboard banner across 42nd . . .

Americans will die today in Iraq and tomorrow in their homes as a direct result of the purposeful actions of the UN.

Other contributors to the documentary highlight: How the U.N. Commission on Human Rights includes some of the world’s worst human rights abusers
How the U.N. Commission on Human Rights has targeted Israel with more violations than any other country
The U.N.’s failure to acknowledge the slaughter of 8,000 Bosnian Muslims in Serbia
The hour-long documentary film, “Broken Promises: The United Nations at 60,” chronicles the organization’s failings since its inception, and raises serious doubts about whether the world body should perpetuate itself for another 60 years.
Sounds like a good book to add to the winter reading list.
