Annan calls on world leaders to back bold changes at UN
Annan wants to expand the size of the Security Council, write a new definition of terrorism and strengthen protections for human rights.
In a speech to the 191 member General Assembly in New York, Mr Annan called for adopting his entire reform package at a summit of world leaders in September, and he warned countries against treating the list of proposals "as an a la carte menu, and select only those that you especially fancy". But getting leaders to agree on the package will not be easy because many countries have opposing views on issues ranging from reform of the powerful Security Council to creation of a new Human Rights Council to increasing development assistance to poor countries.
