3. women’s empowerment
4. Focusing on promoting a safer and more secure world.
5. advancing human rights
6. improving the response to major humanitarian crises.
7. Maintaining the momentum achieved in disarmament and nuclear non-proliferation
8. strengthen the UN from within by building a more modern, flexible Organization, better able to meet the challenges of the 21st century. Strengthening the UN from within. As ever, our watchwords are transparency, accountability, efficiency and effectiveness. The UN as the “doing” organization and the “delivering” organization. a strong UN, effectively delivering for people in need, doing more with the resources that we have, investing the global taxpayers’ contributions wisely. Noted: Change in power in Côte d’Ivoire, the referendum in Sudan/ Darfour and Haiti.
