UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Zimbabwe's president, battling international isolation imposed over his authoritarian rule, has used a rare trip to New York to lambaste the United States, Britain and international agencies.
In a speech to the U.N. General Assembly, Robert Mugabe accused the World Bank, International Monetary Fund and World Trade Organisation of serving only wealthy nations and said the United Nations needed a new structure because it had been designed to address the woes of another era.
The Security Council must democratise because the veto gives too much power to its five permanent members, the United States, China, Russia, Britain and France, Mugabe added.
But he saved his choicest barbs for the United States and Britain, which invaded Iraq without U.N. authorisation.
