Former U.S. diplomat Hugh Dugan, who advised 11 U.S. ambassadors to the United Nations, has called on President Donald Trump to demand that the United Nations provide a ‘report to shareholders.’ Dugan argues that such a report would enhance transparency and ensure the UN operates with greater accountability, particularly in the context of its budgetary processes and decision-making mechanisms.
The suggestion is part of a broader debate about the oversight of international organizations. Dugan, who has a long history of diplomatic service, believes that the UN should be more responsive to the interests of its member states and the global community at large. His comments come at a time when the organization faces increasing scrutiny over its financial management and the effectiveness of its various programs.
While the UN was established to promote international cooperation and peace, Dugan’s call for a shareholder report suggests a growing push for accountability and efficiency. His remarks have sparked discussion among policymakers and diplomats about the need for reform within the United Nations system.
