Headline General Assembly Meets to Discuss on Issues of Strengthening of the United Nations System

Caption Description The General Assembly met today to continue its consideration of the strengthening of the United Nations system, including the revitalization of the General Assembly and other bodies. Stressing that the machinery of the Assembly had become cumbersome and overburdened by an unwieldy agenda and a flood of documentation, several speakers also said the body's working methods were inflexible and failed to address the ever-changing global agenda. Others declared that the United Nations of the twenty-first century must not be constrained by procedures designed for the post-World War II period. Secretary-General's report on ""Strengthening of the United Nations: an Agenda for Further Change"" states that the process for review of the medium-term plan and the programme budget of the Organization has become burdensome not only for Member States, who spend a lot of time considering those documents, but also for the Secretariat, which provides substantive and technical support for all the formal and informal meetings.
Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla, Permanent Representative of Cuba to the United Nations, addressing the General Assembly at today's meeting.
