Description

UN Reform: Where Does It Go from Here?

The UN’s Secretary-General, Kofi Annan, has famously stated that reform of the world body is a “process, not an event.” In this edition of World Chronicle, the impact and direction of the UN’s reform process are examined. What are the UN’s main tasks, and how will reform help the organization focus on them? How is reform changing bureaucratic practices, and helping the organization cope with complex peacekeeping tasks? Are member states getting better value for their money now than some years ago? These questions are explored with the help of Louise Fréchette, the UN Deputy Secretary-General.
