Abstract
"Reform is the purposeful act of modifying the structure, composition, decision-making procedures, working methods, funding or staffing of an institution in order to enhance its efficiency and/or effectiveness in advancing its core goals and principles." Considering this definition, and trying to apply it to the United Nations System, we are committed to question the functioning of the organisation, to envisage its possible improvement. Why would reforms of the UN system be needed? When looking at the range of field subject to reforms, it's easy to notice that, indeed, UN needs to be reformed. Decision-making procedures are contested through the claim for new permanent seats at the Security Council, the legitimacy of the veto right, the proposals for a weighted system of voting at the General Assembly; funding is clearly a critical issue regarding the dramatic financial crisis the UN goes through, and its so small budget (around $10billions a year, which is absolutely obsolete compared as many governments' budgets).
