CHERITH NORMAN-CHALET (United States), speaking as the host nation, said the United States is proud to remain the home of the United Nations, an organization that since its founding has transformed into a vast network.  The Organization¡¯s vision is clearly outlined in its Charter, she said, adding that in many ways the United Nations has proven to be a successful experiment.  The United States has played a central role in the successes of the Organization as the most reliable funder over the past 75 years.  However, she noted that the United Nations remains resistant to reform and has turned a blind eye to authoritarian regimes and efforts to undermine freedoms.  Commemorations of the Organization¡¯s seventy?fifth anniversary offer an opportunity to ask questions about the Organization¡¯s strengths and weaknesses, review its failures and celebrate its accomplishments.
