World Summit, 2005
From
September 14-16 the highest levels of the world's governments
convened in the Millennium + 5 Summit, to review the Millennium
Development Goals, the report of the Secretary-General,
In Larger Freedom, and the proposals to strengthen
and reform the United Nations. In a process designed to
address new global challenges to security the Final Outcome
Document, agreeed to unanimously by the world's governments,
did not contain a section on disarmament and non-proliferation.
Although
prior
Draft Outcome Documents contained sections on disarmament,
the governments deleted the section because they could
not agree on it. They were able to agree on nearly everything
else.
As negotiations came down
to the wire, the disarmament
and non-proliferation section of the September
6 version of the Outcome Document was scrapped and
a small group of governments drafted a more bare bones
Negotiating
Text on Disarmament and Non-Proliferation.
However, this too was deleted.
The
former Draft Outcome Document of the World
Summit
(Aug 5) contained much more substantive text on disarmament
and non-proliferation, even though it could have been stronger,
as elaborated in this NGO
letter to governments urging stronger disarmament language
in the document. However, the United States made 750 edits
to the take it or leave it document and opened the door to
all states wanting to make cuts.

First Committee 2000
NOTE: For the First Committee meetings of 2000 we
collected all statements, resolutions, UN reports, voting
records from the First Committee. It is too much to keep on
line, so we have removed everything except the resolutions
and voting so comparisons can be made to the language used
in 2000. If you wish to see any other documents from 2000,
request them from info@reachingcriticalwill.org.
