Chairperson, I move without notice:
That the House -
1) notes that 24 October 2009 marks the annual observance of United Nations Day;
2) further notes that this day is marked throughout the world by activities aimed at raising awareness of the goals and achievements of the United Nations;
3) acknowledges that the United Nations is looked to by all its member states to provide leadership in responding to the full range of global challenges facing human civilisation in the 21st century, and that it embodies our collective aspirations for a world free of poverty and suffering, a world characterised by international peace, security and respect for human rights;
4) believes that for the organisation to meet the immense set of global challenges and the wide diversity of needs of its member states, a renewed, revitalised and more responsive United Nations is needed; and 5) expresses its support for the ongoing efforts of the South African Government in this regard and particularly the views expressed by President Zuma during his address at the 64th session of the UN General Assembly on 23 September 2009, that no reform of the UN can be complete without fundamental reform of the Security Council and that the legitimacy of the Security Council's decisions will continually be questioned without permanent representation for Africa.
Agreed to.
