From the Washington Post: Ambassadors have adopted compromise language on a range of issues that had been debated between US and other nations. Advocates for impoverished nations were disappointed because of what they said were watered down language on development assistance. To read an article about the compromise click here.

I thought all of the op-eds about the UN in the New York Times were interesting on Tuesday as you can read them by clicking below:

Meet the Fakers by Nicholas Kristof
Necessary Measures by Amir Attaran
The Good Fight by Vance Serchuk

Also on an unrelated note, Thomas Friedman's op-ed about America's response to Katrina was very good today, which can be found by clicking here.
