Spain’s Jaime de Pinies, president of the U.N. General Assembly, appointed an 18-member panel to review the administrative and financial workings of the United Nations, which is facing one of the worst financial crises in its 40-year history. Because of unpaid dues, the organization entered the new year with a $225-million shortfall in a budget of more than $800 million. The panel, which is to issue a report by September, includes Jose Sorzano, a former deputy U.S. representative to the United Nations, and Vasiliy Safronchuk, the current Soviet deputy representative.
