Agreed that
the reform of the United Nations System
should be comprehensive and balanced and
responding to the principles of legitimacy,
democracy and effectiveness, insuring the
strengthening of multilateralism and the
respect of International Law.
The Presidents
share the belief that the reform of the
Security Council should not be limited to
the decision on the expansion of its
membership, but to the substantive
consideration of the rules for the use of
the right to veto.
At the same
time, the Presidents consider of essential
importance that the reform of the economic
and social organizations should allow
revaluing the agenda of the United Nations
on topics of economic and social development,
and specially, on those associated with the
fulfillment of the Millennium Goals for
reducing poverty, inequality and exclusion.
The Presidents
reaffirm their commitment to the
unrestricted respect for human rights and,
therefore, reiterate their common intention
that the reform of the Commission of Human
Rights will allow its depoliticization and
an effective protection of civil, political,
social and economic rights.
The Presidents
decide to commission their Foreign Affairs
Ministers to promptly coordinate the
development of common actions within their
wide scope of coincidence in the reform
process of the United Nations
