Well it looks like Bolton has made his mark on the UN already - a record 700 amendments to proposed reforms to the UN... and unfortuntely it also looks like these amendments are derailing the reform movement (it already was on shakey ground, but still why push it).

So Bolton has objected to the following through his amendments to the reforms:
-commitments to end the worst world poverty within a decade.
-reject the obligation of nuclear weapons states to dismantle their arsenals.
-measures to protect people under threat of massive human rights violations.
-proposed peace-building commission's scope.
-proposed expansion of the Security Council (granting Japan and Germany seats)
-anti-poverty goals that call for contributing 0.7 per cent of their GDPs to help the poorest nations.
-Human rights violators losing their places on a reformed Commission on Human Rights.
