UNITED NATIONS - ANOTHER SETBACK FOR U.S.
The United States has lost its seat on a second United Nations panel, the
International Narcotics Control Board, said the State Department spokesman,
Richard Boucher. He called the loss "very regrettable." The 13-member
board, based in Vienna, monitors compliance with international agreements
to control drugs. A diplomat, Herbert S. Okun, has been the American
representative since 1997. Last week the United States lost its seat on the
Human Rights Commission.
