The United Nations recently celebrated its 50th anniversary. At the top of the agenda was the need to reform and adapt the organization to the post Cold War period. Numerous proposals were put forward; most, however, failed to secure the required support. Kofi Annan, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, has given the highest priority to engaging member states in reassessing the Organization and in implementing reform measures in accordance with new-found consensus. This three-volume set describes and brings together 50 key reform proposals originating inside and outside the United Nations. The documentation contained in this publication touches upon all aspects of the United Nations and covers the full spectrum of proposals and initiatives. It is hoped that the information provided will assist those involved in current efforts in reassessing and reshaping the Organization and will serve as a useful reference set for policy makers, researchers and the interested public.
