The European Union’s role at the Millennium Review Summit

The Millennium Review Summit, in September 2005, will see the UN heads of state and government reviewing how the United Nations can deliver freedom from want, fear and oppression for all the world's peoples. Four agendas will be addressed: development; security; human rights and democracy; and reform of the UN institutions. This report looks at the EU's role in the United Nations, and at what the EU can do to make a successful outcome at the Review more likely. It also examines the position of the United Kingdom Government which currently holds the Presidency of the EU ((July-December 2005) and which will therefore play a leading role in representing the EU at the Summit.
