Mr. President, We support the process of reform in the United Nations. In pursuing this objective we must bear in mind our successes and failures in the past fifty years. The centrality and sanctity of the Charter must be preserved as we move towards reconfiguring the United Nations. The UN today stands at the brink of bankruptcy. The reform cannot and must not be victim to the narrow strategic, political and administrative preferences of a chosen few as a means of regaining the Organization's solvency.
True reform has to take into account the interests of all.
The United Nations is a universal organization of one hundred and eighty-five states and their six billion people. The purpose of its creation was to serve the interests of all humankind. This should be the guiding principle for its reform. There is undoubtedly need for reform. The map of the world has been redrawn.
