Bolten to leave UN

Anne Bayefsky lists his accomplishments in his short term:

...


adoption of a first legally binding Security Council resolution sanctioning North Korea for its nuclear-weapons program;

passage of a first ever Security Council resolution addressing the Iranian nuclear program;

consensus-building among democratic states that resulted in 50 donor countries, responsible for 88 percent of the U.N. regular budget, taking a common position on management reform.

had the foresight to refuse to lend credibility to the U.N. Human Rights Council, which as he predicted, has become a mockery of reform undeserving of American support;

raised the profile of the genocide in Darfur and insisted on Security Council action;

led the campaign against corruption at the U.N. secretariat, including the reduction of the gift ceiling for United Nations officials from $10,000 to $200;

defended a free and democratic government of Israel from the relentless onslaught of anti-Israel and anti-Semitic attacks launched across the U.N. system.
