At the end of January, the General Assembly held discussions on the report of the Secretary-General’s High-level Panel on the challenges facing the United Nations.
In his summary of the discussions, General Assembly President Jean Ping noted that many delegates have expressed concerns that consultations on the reform and restructuring of the UN should not be limited solely to the recommendations contained in the Panel’s report, and that the focus on the Security Council should not further alter the role and authority of the General Assembly. Other issues addressed in the discussions, included those related to disarmament, and socioeconomic development and collective security.
