United Nations Organizations: Enhanced Efforts Needed to Increase U.S. Employment at UN Agencies
This testimony discusses ways to improve the representation of
American professionals at United Nations (UN) organizations. The
U.S. Congress continues to be concerned about the
underrepresentation of American professionals employed by some UN
organizations and that insufficient progress has been made to
improve U.S. representation. The equitable representation of
Americans at UN organizations is a priority to Congress in part
because the United States is the largest financial contributor to
most of these organizations. Moreover, according to the U.S.
Department of State (State), Americans bring desirable skills,
values, and experience that can have a significant impact on UN
organizations' operational effectiveness. This testimony is based
on a report that we issued on September 6, 2006. This testimoney
will discuss (1) U.S. representation status and employment trends
at five UN organizations, (2) factors affecting these
organizations' ability to meet U.S. representation targets, and
(3) State's efforts to improve U.S. representation and additional
efforts that can be taken.
