Despite its good intentions, mismanagement and corruption plagued
the UN's Oil-for-Food Program:
-More than 2,200 companies paid $1.8 billion in illegal surcharges
and kickbacks to the Iraqi regime
-The UN Security Council stood by as the Iraqi regime outright
smuggled about $8.4 billion of oil during the Program years in
violation of UN sanctions
-The Iraqi regime steered oil contracts for political advantage by
giving rights to buy oil to dozens of global political figures
sympathetic to Iraq's goal to loosen or overturn the UN
sanctions
-The Iraqi regime provided Benon Sevan, the UN's chief
administrator of the Program, with rights to buy more than 7
million barrels of oil
-UN-related humanitarian agencies collected tens of millions of
dollars for costs they never incurred, and some built factories in
Iraq that weren't needed or that never worked at all
-Even UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan was tainted by it
But the whole story has never been told in one place.
