About the article - and intresting read. The simple fact is that accountability was never really a part of any political process. A party attempting to sort out coruption within its body will only give weapons to the oposition. As the party curently holding office in Canada found out. It's a political risk that holds no real benefit as far as gaining votes. So why bother? The weak get the blame and serve as a distraction for the sins of the strong.
Concerning the UN - it never had any real power. All primary resources for projects are sponsored by specific countries. These deals always come with strings attached.
