Reform of the United Nations - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In a dramatic development with just weeks to go to the Millennium+5 Summit, John Bolton, the new U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, tabled radical proposals diametrically opposed to those contained in In Larger Freedom. It is the successor to the United Nations Commission on Human Rights, which was often criticised for the high-profile positions it gave to member states that did not guarantee the human rights of their own citizens. However, reformers have proposed that with incremental and simultaneous attention to these points, it is possible that the interests of the large and small nations might be reconciled through compromise in order to avert the anarchy and relative powerlessness of the present system which hamper the interests of both large and small nations. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Reform_of_the_United_Nations   (1854 words)
