[WSIS CS-Plenary] Documents here, there - and everywhere - what do they all mean?

[Robert Guerra]

I've just found the text below on the huffingtonpost site.

By posting the message I am in no way attesting to the authenticity  
of the document. What could be of interest is a discussion on how  
people think the MDG +5 meeting coming up soon might (or not) affect  
the negotiations at the upcoming PrepCom..

Note:

regards,

Robert

Just weeks before heads of UN Member States gather in New York to  
discuss how to revitalize and modernize the United Nations, the U.S.  
delegation, led by John Bolton, has launched a last-minute effort to  
change a near finalized document for UN reform. Ambassador Bolton has  
recommended scrapping more than 400 passages from the 38-page draft  
prepared for the September summit, a copy of the document obtained by  
The Huffington Post shows.

The United States is strongly opposing already agreed upon provisions  
in the document to address global poverty, climate change and  
provisions that would urge nuclear powers to reduce their current  
weapons cache.

The current document was the product of nearly a year of intensive  
negotiations. Its formulation is now in danger of being derailed at a  
serious cost to the United States and its longstanding support for  
the United Nations.
