In the December of 2004, the High-Level panel, who were commissioned by theSecretary General of the United Nations (UN) to propose measures in response tothe new challenges in security, gave its report. The report serves as a basis forcurrent thinking on a wide-array of issues facing the UN. Included in these topicsare the methods and framework of using force in international crises, terrorism, thedevelopment of the failed states, and the necessary changes within the institutionsof the UN itself. From its findings emerges the importance of a universal definitionof terrorism, placing it outside the boundaries of absolute law, and the importanceof reforming the Human Rights Committee and the Security Council. Despite theproposals, the latter of these suggested reforms will be difficult to bring about.
