U.N. Naysayers Greet 60th Anniversary With Biting Documentary

  As the United Nations prepares to commence the 60th session of the General Assembly next week with a three-day summit on institutional reform, some of the world body's critics have readied suggestions of their own. An hour-long documentary film, "Broken Promises: The United Nations at 60," uses this year's milestone as an occasion to chronicle the organization's failings since its inception, and to raise questions about whether the world body should perpetuate itself for another 60 years.

Mr. Bossie is a former chief investigator for the House of Representatives.
