Resolution on the outcome of the United Nations UN World Summit of 14 to 16 September 2005

In its conclusions, the Council reaffirms that the EU is committed to playing an active role in ensuring that the reforms agreed at the UN World Summit are fully and urgently implemented. The Council will also continue to work towards achieving important reforms in the UN system on issues not covered at the Summit.

If fully implemented, the reforms will result in a stronger and more effective UN, better able to meet today's challenges in areas of development, peace and security, and human rights. Full implementation of these reforms represents a vital part of the EU's goal of the development of an international order based on effective multilateralism and the rule of law.

Work is already underway in New York and in relevant EU working groups on implementation. This will guide the EU's input into the detailed follow-up action, which will be led from New York.

The EU will engage actively in outreach activities to secure implementation of the reforms agreed at the Summit, including on the Peacebuilding Commission, Human Rights Council and management reform..
