This is a print on demand edition of a hard to find publication. The U.S. Congress has continuing concerns about U.S. under-representation in United Nations (U.N.) organizations. Some U.N. organizations establish targets for member state representation, and such positions are classified as geographic positions. A 2006 report found that the State Department could take additional steps to increase U.S. representation. This report examines: (1) U.S. representation at five U.N. organizations; (2) issues affecting the employment of professional staff, including Americans at these organizations; and (3) efforts State has undertaken to increase U.S. representation. Includes recommendations. Charts and tables.
