In a film that exposes the incompetence and corruption at the heart of the United Nations, filmmaker Ami Horowitz takes us on a harrowing, yet often hilarious, trip through the farcical world of the United Nations.

Horowitz exposes how an organization created to ennoble mankind actually enables chaos and global discord. As disturbing as the picture painted by U.N. Me may be, Horowitz manages to keep us laughing throughout the film. And just when you’re left shaking your head at one outrage or another exposed in U.N. Me, Horowitz reliably enters with comic relief.

STEP 1: Find your Congressman House.Gov/representatives/find

STEP 2: Write your Congressman

Dear [Congressman],

I am deeply concerned to have learned that the United States federal government has sent nearly $8 billion of taxpayer money to the United Nations in the past year, an organization whose role in ensuring fundamental human rights and security across the globe has come into question.

Whether it is acts of peacekeeper malfeasance that are often reported in the press, the complete lack of transparency with respect to how this organization spends taxpayer money, or its inability to prevent mass atrocities, the very reason for this institution’s existence, the United Nations has proven to be a shadow of its intended nature.

Because of this, I am writing you today to suggest two actions that Congress can take as a first step toward helping the United Nations begin to repair its reputation in the world. Through its ability to withhold nearly a quarter of the United Nations budget, Congress can demand action.

1) Demand the United Nations post a full and accurate line item budget online.

As taxpayers of the world responsible for the continued funding of the United Nations, we deserve a full and accurate assessment of how our money is being spent. Because the United Nations already has a heavy presence on the Internet, this is a cost-free distribution method that would allow any taxpayer to see how his or her funds are being spent.

2) Enact Article 6

This article declares that any member state that persistently violates the tenets of the UN Charter should have its membership revoked. From North Korea’s continued flaunting of the United Nations to Sudan’s participation in mass atrocities, there are many candidate member states that have persistently violated the principles of the Charter. To demonstrate that the United Nations has a standard when it comes to the make up of its membership would go a long way toward re-establishing its credibility.

The organization too often prefers opacity to transparency, and only continues functioning thanks to the taxpayers of the world. It is through the financing of the UN that we can institute accountability.

Sincerely,

[Your name]
