Last week, yet another group of "eminent persons" reported to the U.N. secretary-general on cleaning out the Augean stables of the United Nations. Such reports come around periodically, usually when the secretary-general in question starts contemplating his historic legacy. Meanwhile, huge international expectations build up around the much-anticipated pronouncements of the group.
Here is a bet that those over-hyped expectations will be defeated yet again, and that "A more secure world: Our shared responsibility - Report of the Secretary-General's High-Level Panel on Threats, Challenges and Change" will lead to little more than international recriminations and blame-shifting.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) - In a highly awaited report prompted by the deep divide over the war in Iraq, an international panel made 101 recommendations Tuesday on how to deal with global threats in the 21st century including the use of pre-emptive and preventive military strikes with approval from the U.N. Security Council.
The report by the 16-member panel offered two proposals on expanding the Security Council to reflect modern realities. Both would increase the United Nations' most powerful body from 15 to 24 countries and give much broader global representation.

The role taken by the Assn of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in the Cambodian conflict illustrates the potential for regional security organizations in conflict resolution. ASEAN was most effective in conflict containment. Probably little could have been done to prevent the conflict, and ASEAN's role in conflict termination was limited at first by the hard-line position it had taken, although after 1988 it played a significant intermediary role in negotiations.
