U.N. fails to make oil-for-food reforms - investigator

BASEL, Switzerland (Reuters) - The United Nations has failed to take on board some of the key recommendations of an investigation into corruption in its oil-for-food programme in Iraq, an investigator told Reuters on Thursday. 

The independent inquiry proposed reforms to prevent similar abuses in future, but at least two central tenets have not been addressed, said Mark Pieth, one of three members of the inquiry team, which was headed by former U.S. Federal Reserve chairman Paul Volcker.
