Can the UN reform itself?

The essay discusses the urgent need for reform within the United Nations, highlighting the organization's evolving role since its inception in 1945. It emphasizes that the end of the Cold War has introduced new global challenges, including environmental concerns, gender issues, and international terrorism, which require a reevaluation of the UN's structure. The author argues that without fundamental changes to its financial and managerial systems, the UN will struggle to address both new and traditional responsibilities effectively.
