 Renewing the UN | UNAUSA.org
Annan's proposals for increased UN roles in arms regulation and control of cross-border crime, and those for a strengthened rapid reaction capability for controlling conflicts and for ending the UN's dependence on military officers lent by (and reporting back to) individual member states, illustrate his larger purpose-a stronger, more effective United Nations.
Annan is motivated by a desire to clear his calendar of many ceremonial duties and lower-priority meetings, and by his sense that inter-sectoral cooperation often only works when someone at the top calls the relevant departments together-and he cannot do it all.
Annan affirms UNEP's importance as "the environmental agency of the world community," and sets as his objective its enjoying a commensurate "status, strength and access to resources." He makes no statement about the work or even the role of Habitat, which suggests Annan and his advisers haven't yet formulated their position about it.
