EUHR Solana comments on the appointment of the UNSG's Envoys for UN reform

"I welcome the appointment of Dermot Ahern, Ali Alatas, Joaquin Chissano and Ernesto Zedillo as the UN Secretary-General's Envoys for the September Summit on UN reform, which will review implementation of the Millenium Declaration adopted five years ago. This is a most distinguished group of experienced and skilled politicians, representing a wide spectrum of cultures and regional sensibilities.

The EU has welcomed UNSG Annan's report "In larger freedom: towards development, security and human rights for all". We will support the work of the four UN Secretary-General's Envoys and continue to work in close cooperation with the United Nations and regional partners for a succesful outcome of the Summit."
