Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether her Department is taking steps to help reform the United Nations.

The UK supports the UN Secretary-General's 'Our Common Agenda' report and his efforts to make the UN system more effective, efficient, and accountable as part of his vision for UN 2.0. As part of this, the UK actively supports the UN's Resident Coordinators who are improving UN agency coordination and impact in the countries in which they operate. UK Ministers regularly meet with Resident Coordinators, and senior UN leadership such as the Deputy Secretary-General, to discuss and encourage progress on reforms

We also support reform of the UN Security Council to make it more representative and better reflect the realities of the twenty-first century.
