Résumé
Transmits letter dated 1 Dec. 2004 from the Chair of the UN High-level Panel on Threats, Challenges and Change enclosing the report of the Panel entitled "A more secure world: our shared responsibility". Part 1 of the text on "Towards a new security consensus" identifies 3 basic pillars the case for collective security today rests on: i) threats without boundaries; ii) the limits of self-protection; and iii) sovereignty and responsibility. Part 2 on "Collective security and the challenge of prevention" identifies 6 clusters of threats with which the world must be concerned now and in the decades ahead: i) economic and social threats, including poverty, infectious diseases and environmental degradation; ii) inter-State conflict; iii) internal conflict, including civil war, genocide and other large-scale atrocities; iv) nuclear, radiological, chemical and biological weapons; v) terrorism; and vi) transnational organized crime. Part 3 on "Collective security and the use of force" addresses the circumstances in which effective collective security may require the backing of military force, and identifies 5 criteria of legitimacy. Part 4 on "A more effective UN for the 21st century" focuses on the issue of the UN reform, and states that recommendations that ignore underlying power realities will be doomed to failure or irrelevance, but recommendations that simply reflect raw distributions of power and make no effort to bolster international principles are unlikely to gain the widespread adherence required to shift international behaviour. Included annexes are: i) summary of recommendations; ii) Panel members and terms of reference; iii) Panel secretariat; and iv) Panel meetings, regional consultations and issue workshops. DAA
