No point to the summit
Swati Pandey

September 16, 2005

THE Sydney Morning Herald's lead editorial today derides the United Nations' reform effort as "not so much a recipe for radical reform of the international system as a damp squib." This week's U.N. summit may be touted as the biggest gathering of world leaders ever, but that superlative is less important than the bottom line, the paper argues. Like previous gatherings of the hulking international body, it says, this summit will end without reform on the most important matters, including Security Council expansion, nuclear proliferation and disarmament and a definition of terrorism.

They addressed nothing that was on the plate when the idea for this was approved.
