[原件：法文]今天的联合国需要获得新生。它必须变得更加开放、透明、民主和有效。只有这样，它才能继续在全球治理中充分发挥作用。但是，只有在和平与安全、社会经济发展和人权这三大支柱的基础上，它才能发挥作用。
Ladies and Gentlemen, The United Nations (UN) today needs a new lease of life. It must become more open, transparent, democratic and effective. Only then can it continue to fully play its role in global governance. But it will be able to play its role, only if it does so, based on its three main pillars, namely, peace and security, socioeconomic development and human rights.
