At the United Nations, Secretary General Kofi Annan proposed a series of sweeping reforms to the world body. Annan called for four main changes:–increasing the size of the Security Council–setting out rules on when the United Nations can authorize military force–having UN member nations agree on a common definition of terrorism–and reforming the UN Human Rights Commission “I urge member states to make the Security Council more broadly representative of the international community as a whole as well as of the geographic realities of today,” said Kofi Annan. “This important issue has been discussed for too long, I believe member states should agree to take a decision on it, preferably by consensus, but in any case before the summit.”
