Annan Urges UN Overhaul
2005-3-22 11:55:53    CRIENGLISH.com
UN Secretary General Kofi Annan has unveiled a plan to overhaul the body, urging world leaders to make the proposals a reality.

UN Secretary General Kofi Annan has unveiled a plan to overhaul the 60-year-old world body, urging world leaders to make the proposals a reality when they meet again in six months.

The wide-ranging report is based on proposals by a high-level panel on UN Reform and the Millennium Declaration, in which the UN has pledged to slash poverty rates around the world by 2015.

Annan's proposals include a recommendation to expand the 15-member Security Council to 24 to make it more representative of today's realities.

He also calls for the establishment of a human rights council, a clear definition of terrorism, more peacekeeping missions and stricter discipline for their personnel.
