CEP Senior Advisor Ambassador Edmund Fitton-Brown writes: "I worked at the United Nations in New York for five years as a co-ordinator for counterterrorism. I cherish those years at the UN, an organisation capable of doing great things for the world and full of brilliant people. But it has lost its way. Now I hear of recriminations between colleagues, disenchantment with the leadership and a belief that serious reform is needed to break the UN out of its malaise."
