Whether we are speaking of peace and security, development, or human rights, demands on our Organization are growing every day,â€ message says.

â€œFinally, we must transform the UN itself. We must adapt to meet new needs, and ensure the highest standards of ethics, integrity and accountability, so as to demonstrate that we are fully answerable to all Member States and to people around the world. We will be judged in the future on the actions we take today -- on results. On this United Nations Day, let us rededicate ourselves to achieving them,â€ he said. /APA/
