There is an ongoing debate about the reform of the U.N. system.

The United Nations is an indispensable but deeply flawed organization. It is valuable to the United States, and the United States is invaluable to it. We need to reform it.

The interests of the United States are better served by demanding reform and seeing that reform takes place than by removing our influence from the UN.

It's time to save the U.N. from its own scandals and mismanagement. It's time for U.N. Reform with teeth.

In the United States, there is a broadly shared view that the U.N. is one of many potential instruments to advance U.S. issues, and we have to decide whether a particular issue is best done through the U.N. or best done through some other mechanism.

The United Nations has a critical role to play in promoting stability, security, democracy, human rights, and economic development. The UN is as relevant today as at any time in its history, but it needs reform.

It may surprise people to know that I advocate the reform of the United Nations, not its abolishment.

Reform is the mission from which we shall not digress; it is an expression of belief and determination between us and our people. With the help of Allah, we will proceed forward in this promising national process within the natural progress of the life cycle and the development of people and nation.

The United Nations was not set up to be a reformatory. It was assumed that you would be good before you got in and not that being in would make you good.

I have concluded that the U.N. can do a few things well.
