14-16 September 2005

August 31, 2005.

    In September, the largest gathering of world leaders in history will
    see over 170 Heads of State converging to the United Nations
    Headquarters in New York for the 2005 World Summit. The Summit will be
    an opportunity to review progress made so far towards the Millennium
    Development Goals, and to take decisions in the areas
    of development, security, human rights and reform of the United
    Nations.
    
    Indeed, the question of the UN reform process, outlined in March by
    Secretary-General Kofi Annan in his report "In Larger Freedom", will
    also be on the agenda. Important issues such as which countries should
    be represented at the Security Council, and how should the UN monitor
    human rights abuses will thus be discussed. Proposals outlined in
    Annan's report have since been reviewed by Governments in a series of
    informal consultations conducted by General Assembly President Jean
    Ping, who released on 5 August a third draft outcome document for the
    Summit.
