Why does MCC staff a liaison office at the United Nations?

MCC strives to be a voice for those with whom we work around the world.

The UN is the only international institution in which the most powerful nations are held accountable to the least powerful ones, the UN, at its best, acts as a set of moral principles and political mechanisms that mediate political, economic and military conflict in pursuit of basic well being for all.

The perennial problem of the UN is that it is too weak, not that it is too strong. Great danger does lie in the self-interest of its member states, which allow only what suits their national agenda.

MCC supports alternatives to domination and self interest as the basis for world order.
