meanwhile , the expenses have become so great recently that the so-called united nations fatigue and a tendency toward self-examination -- the dispatch of peacekeeping operations can not be continued in this manner ; or whether it is proper to continue the dispatch -- has been born , to my thinking , in the united nations and the security council .

the first problem is : japan and germany are the second and third largest contributors to the united nations ; according to the western style of thinking -- no taxation without representation -- it is quite natural that japan and germany , as great political powers , should be made permanent members , because they are not only great contributors , but they are also politically influential seen from the world as a whole , whether they like it or not .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

although the united nations fully understands the first problem , judging from the atmosphere of the united nations as a whole , the solution to the problem of the representation of the countries of the south , which comprise more than three-fourths of the member nations of the united nations , seems to be the main stream of the reorganization of the security council at present .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

the un secretary general says that japan should become a permanent member of the security council and that would benefit the united nations .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

japan can not be a permanent member unless the general atmosphere of the united nations expects japan to become a permanent member .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

various countries have already expressed all sorts of opinions at the united nations , and it will take some time , in my mind , to put these opinions in order .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

the reason is that 1995 is the fiftieth anniversary of the united nations and many countries are thinking of doing something memorable and conspicuous on that occasion .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

i think that japan should display initiative in the international agency called the united nations , which has 184 member nations of the world and which covers political , economic and social problems , whether or not japan becomes a permanent member of the security council .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

we would like you to tell us your opinion about what japan should do in the united nations on the basis of your experience to the present day .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

-lsb- hatano -rsb- in japan , there is a tendency to think that the united nations is like a noble world federal government , that japan must give its cooperation to such a government , and that japan should be pleased that it has been given a chance to give its cooperation .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

such a tendency is welcomed by those of us who take charge of the united nations , and yet i think that such an idea is wrong .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

japan is an important member of the united nations , and it is we ourselves who constitute the united nations .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

therefore , japan 's concern is not to make its contribution to the united nations , but how to make use of the united nations .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

i think united nations diplomacy is not for the purpose of making a contribution to the united nations , but to make use of the united nations .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

concerning the relationship with the security council , japan would have a decisive voice in the reform and reorganization of the united nations if it becomes a permanent member of the security council .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

in that sense , it is one idea to make a contribution to a reformed united nations and to a reformed security council ; but i think it can also be said that it is better to become a permanent member of the security council if japan is to make reforms .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

therefore , i think it desirable for japan to become a permanent member of the security council to reform the united nations at the initiative of japan .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

-lsb- yoshikawa -rsb- as you have just said , i think we should not forget the fact that the united nations does not have a different existence from us , does not exist on the other side of the river , in other words , is not `` an outsider , '' but is `` an entity of which we are a part . ''

since the turkish side has not accepted the package and seven months have been lost , the president proposes that the secretary general have the two sides return to a discussion of the substance of the cyprus issue , beginning with their concerns about security issues , until the turkish side decides on the confidence-building measures .

kliridhis ' positions are outlined in his letter to the secretary general the text of which was made public today in nicosia .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

after wasting seven months since june , when the talks were suspended because of his stance , the turkish cypriot leader 's own letter to the secretary general raises several issues outside the framework of the principles set out by the un secretary general .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

kliridhis writes various notes on particular issues raised by denktas and submits three questions , stressing that he expects clear answers to these questions : first , whether denktas accepts , irrespective of his so-called concerns about security issues , that the whole fenced-off area of famagusta be turned over to the united nations to administer and police and that the greek cypriot residents will return to their homes and properties .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

the nuclear issue is being dealt with in talks between north korea and the international atomic energy agency and between north korea and the united states , and should be handled by the security council but not by the secretary-general , de soto said .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

north korea , which is demanding direct talks with the united states , will not want him to play such a role , he added .

before assuming his current post as ambassador to the united nations in february 1990 , mr. hatano served as head of the personnel division of the minister 's secretariat , head of the middle eastern and african affairs bureau , and ambassador of japan 's un delegation in geneva . -rsb-


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

some say that the united nations entered a new era after the cold war ended , when it was faced with an upheaval in the international situation , i.e. , the gulf war .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

we asked yoshio hatano , un ambassador , who has played a role in the `` history of the new united nations `` for three-and-a-half years , including the two years in which japan was a non-permanent member of the security council -lrb- until 1993 -rrb- , to describe the current situation at the united nations .

mountains of requests for pko missions -lsb- ekonomisuto -rsb- what effects have the recent cataclysmic changes , including the collapse of the berlin wall , had on the united nations ?


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

-lsb- hatano -rsb- during the cold war , the united nations did not reach agreements on any political problems .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

nor did it reach agreements on economic problems either , since the interests of advanced nations and developing nations conflicted .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

ultimately , the united nations managed to justify its existence by handling social problems like refugee aid and human rights .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

the united nations had acquired the confidence and the assertiveness to establish a `` just peace '' by intervening in disputes .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

-lsb- hatano -rsb- no , i was referring to all the member nations .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

furthermore , expectations of the united nations are overly high .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

now the prevailing notion is that the united nations will intervene to establish a just peace any time a dispute occurs anywhere in the world .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

consequently , the united nations now has no choice but to respond to these expectations .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

the atmosphere is such that the united nations can not refuse requests from other regions , because it dispatched pko personnel to cambodia .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

the united nations has received mountains of requests for pko missions .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

many of them have been rejected , but the united nations will have to take action in response to some of them .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

-lsb- ekonomisuto -rsb- some say that the united nations has reached the limit as far as pko is concerned .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

then we have the question of how the united nations will intervene , but that will depend on the effectiveness of previous security council resolutions .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

therefore , nations that are not members of the security council have a difficult time making their influence felt .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

-lsb- ekonomisuto -rsb- but the financial burden on member nations , including japan , seems to be ballooning , with no end in sight .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

but recently , all member nations have begun to give serious consideration to the financial problem .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

-lsb- hatano -rsb- i think it means that every nation is on the verge of being unable to shoulder its share of the pko budget , which is three or four times the un general budget .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

for instance , if a peace agreement is reached in the former yugoslavia , the cost of pko in yugoslavia alone will amount to three or four times the un general budget .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

the situation is becoming difficult for the united states , whose share is so large , and even if russia wanted to contribute , it does n't have any money .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

for instance , japan has been criticized by other nations for being unenthusiastic about pko : `` we cooperated with you in cambodia .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

the secretary general , too , may find it difficult to refuse one request after granting another .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

the security council is set up so that a mere 15 nations now decide the fates of 184 member nations .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

all the non-permanent member nations have questioned the security council 's current state .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

the more vocal criticisms have been voiced by developing nations which became members after the united nations was established .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

in other words , even though the north-south balance of the united nations has changed , the north-south balance in the security council has not , and they want to see that corrected .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

one questions the advisability of keeping these two nations out of the security council .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

another problem is the lack of transparency of the security council -- the opinion that more member nations should be able to participate in the security council 's decision-making process , even indirectly .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

-lsb- ekonomisuto -rsb- the permanent member nations of the security council say that if it acquires more members , it will be less efficient .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

on the other hand , there is no point in making the security council an organization with dozens of member nations , one that has difficulty reaching a conclusion .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

-lsb- ekonomisuto -rsb- how has japan 's status in the united nations changed ?


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

-lsb- hatano -rsb- japan is now a major presence at the united nations .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

in material terms , japan is the second -largest contributor to the united nations , after the u.s. japan ranks high in providing human resources as well .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

it is probably not my place to determine whether japan is a major power at the united nations .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

however , an objective point of view is that japan has already become a major force within the united nations .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

-lsb- hatano -rsb- all the members are aware of prime minister hosokawa 's address to the un general assembly , and of media reports .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

they also know that until now , japan has not declared its intention to establish equality with other nations .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

that is why the secretary general expressed his wish for japan to become more active , on his second visit to japan , by saying `` the united nations would benefit from japan 's becoming a permanent member of the security council . ''


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

the members recognize the secretary general 's strong leadership and his ability to get things done .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

the united states and other nations say that there is too much inefficiency .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

but it is the member nations who are to blame , not the secretary general .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

the developing nations are opposed to the reform and rationalization of economic development , which the secretary general feels should be given top priority .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

the secretary general has himself criticized the bureaucratic structure of the united nations , and is doing his utmost to reform it .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

nor are the member nations at all happy with the bureaucratic structure , but they protest when personnel reductions are suggested .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

the advanced nations are guilty of this , too .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

-lsb- ekonomisuto -rsb- is the united states an exception ?


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

-lsb- hatano -rsb- the united states is hoping that the united nations will rationalize its headquarters , and downsize it .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

since the united states is the host country for un headquarters , and bears 25 percent of the burden of the un general budget , and 30 percent of the pko budget , the united nations has been quite cautious in its relationship with the united states .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

-lsb- ekonomisuto -rsb- at a time when the roles of the united nations and its security council are growing in importance , japan is not one of the -lrb- nonpermanent -rrb- members of the security council .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

if , by some chance , the united nations decides to augment the pko in the former yugoslavia , then we 'll be told , `` all right , japan 's share is $ 500 million . ''


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

if , in the worst case , a proposal for sanctions against north korea is brought before the security council , we will have to wait outside the security council hall until the member nations ' ambassadors come out and tell us how the debate is proceeding .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

of course , we would hold thorough discussions with the united states and other nations on the subject before it is debated in the council .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

i waited outside the security council until the member nations ' ambassadors emerged , and asked them , `` what happened ?


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

-lsb- ekonomisuto -rsb- nevertheless , has japan 's importance increased over the past three tumultuous years ?


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

-lsb- hatano -rsb- until pko 's increased scale , until the pko budget reached three or four times the un general budget , japan 's contribution to the general budget was 12.45 percent , or $ 1.1 billion .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

furthermore , japan is popular with the member nations .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

the developing nations count on japan to act as their representative , to convey their views to the advanced nations .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

on the other hand , the advanced nations view japan as a nation that espouses the same value system as they do .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

there are n't many occasions on which the advanced nations and developing nations form separate opposing blocs , but in committees , the human rights committee for example , the difference between the two groups is marked .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

please explain asia 's position to the advanced nations , and try to convince them . ''


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

on the other hand , the advanced nations will tell me , `` please explain our position to the asia group . ''


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

the good side of this situation is that japan might be said to be acting as a bridge between the two blocs of nations .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

when we continue to gain favor with the advanced nations and the developing nations , and are viewed by both groups as a nation that is doing a good job , we know that japan has a very visible presence .

mr. secretary general , as everyone knows , the un peacekeeping forces must not include servicemen from countries which are in one way or another involved in the conflict or whose territories neighbor on the conflict .

the united nations , the european community and , finally , nato are all taking part in the efforts to establish peace in this region .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

previously , for the united nations , it was an indispensable condition that the entire command of any peacekeeping operation remain in un hands .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

only recently , the united nations never had more than two or three peacekeeping operations on the go at the same time .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

but if you have already started an independent peace-making operation , the united nations organization can give you assistance and work side by side with you .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

only in this case will the united nations defray the cost of the operation and , again , on the condition of retaining the political leadership of the operation .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

but the problem once again is this : if our contingent officially becomes a un contingent , ie if our servicemen literally don blue helmets , then the united nations has to pay for this in full .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

moreover , the united nations has to share with us political responsibility for these efforts .


Question: who is secretary general of the united nations ?

but the secretary general can not solve this question on his own .

hence this question is not in the hands of the secretary general , but in the hands of , above all , permanent members and also other member states of the security council .

another aspect that we often forget is that the united nations operates on precedents .
