<http://www.cafebabel.com/en/dossier.asp?id=122>Reforming the UN: a New
Role for the EU
As the 59th UN General Assembly convenes, the cradle of multilateralism
seems to have lost its way. Sweeping reforms are called for but appear
unfeasible. Should the EU take it on itself to save the UN or, on the
contrary, accelerate its demise?

 <http://www.cafebabel.com/en/article.asp?T=A&Id=902> UN reform as a
European challenge
Numbering almost 60, the different agencies of the UN don't fit the needs
of the modern world. What role for Europe in this difficult, but
unavoidable reform process?
                 Piotr Kaczynski - Warsaw

 <http://www.cafebabel.com/en/article.asp?T=A&Id=901> What future for the
Security Council?
Although there is a consensus about the need for Security Council reform,
there is little agreement about the shape this will take. What's the role
of the EU in the jungle of propositions and ambitions?
                 Zane Bandere - Riga

 <http://www.cafebabel.com/en/article.asp?T=T&Id=2322> A Vote for Europe!
Europe's division over the war in Iraq drew attention to how little
influence it has on world events when it is unable to agree on a common
position. A joint seat on the Security Council would force the EU to
develop effective consensus-building mec

of UN-EU Cooperation
Now fully operational, the International Criminal Court (ICC) is the
product of Europe's wish to export its model of suprantional protection of
the rights of the individual.
