#2 Following the proud traditions of the UN:

In Dec 2002, Iraq was named head of disarmament
Last year, Libya was in charge of Human Rights
Syria is in charge of terrorism

so it would have to be

Iran in charge of interfaith ;)

#6 Bureaucratic solution: If the bureaucracy isn't solving the problem, expand the bureaucracy.

Sorta the opposite of the sentiment the rule of holes: First thing you do when you are in a hole: Stop digging.

The UN corallary to the rule of holes: First thing you consider when you are in a hole: Making it bigger and deeper.
