US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley has said that the reform of the UN Security Council is one of the top priorities of the Trump administration as several countries, including India, have been demanding it.<\/p>\n
Haley\u2019s remarks came as US President Donald Trump was set to deliver his first speech to the United Nations General Assembly next week.<\/p>\n
She said that the Security Council reform was still being talked about.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know that it\u2019s something that India wants,\u201d Haley told reporters at a White House news conference ahead of the annual General Assembly session from September 19-25.<\/p>\n
\u201cMany other countries want it as well. So we\u2019ll have to wait and see,\u201d Indian-American Haley said as she along with National Security Advisor Lt Gen H R McMaster briefed reporters on America\u2019s priorities at the United Nations next week.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn Monday, the president will join senior UN leadership and the leaders of more than 120 other nations to discuss reforming the institution. The president will express support for Secretary General Guterres\u2019 reform efforts. The United Nations of course, holds tremendous potential to realise its founding ideals, but only if it\u2019s run more efficiently and effectively,\u201d McMaster said.<\/p>\n
Haley, who has received accolades for her diplomatic skills since joining the administration in January, said the president will highlight the UN reform.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is very, very important. We\u2019ve got a massive reform package being led by the Secretary General that really streamlines not just the processes, but also that budget as it goes forward, and makes the UN much more effective,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe basically have the president headlining a UN reform effort, which would really support the Secretary General. But the impressive part is we asked other countries to sign on to their support of reform and 120 countries have signed on, and will be in attendance. That\u2019s a miraculous number,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Haley said vice president Mike Pence will be doing two very important briefings.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s going to do one on Human Rights Council. Now more than ever human rights matters. We say all the time if a government doesn\u2019t take of its people, bad things will happen. And I think we\u2019re seeing that in multiple places, and that\u2019s all the reason why the Human Rights Council really needs to be effective,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have offered reform. I think the vice president will go and not only support the reform, but talk about why it\u2019s needed and the areas that are really needing to be addressed when it comes to human rights,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
