The most thankless job in the world

Title: UN Weapons Inspector
Role: To investigate possible violations of UN regulations with regard to the possession of weapons of mass destruction (WMD). The weight of the world will be on your shoulders as your official verdict may very well determine the outcome of a war.
Occupational hazards: Will be frequently taken to task seperately by the prosecution and defence, both sides accusing you of bias no matter how neutral you try to be. May be hindered and denied necessary access and resources. May be forced to meet impossible deadlines, which will somehow appear to be entirely your own fault.
Outcome: Will please nobody.
Mr Blix, thank you.

Aaaah! 😀
