中华人民共和国主席江泽民、法兰西共和国总统雅克-希拉克、俄罗斯联邦总统弗拉基米尔-弗拉基米罗维奇-普京、大不列颠及北爱尔兰联合国王国首相托尼-布莱尔和美利坚合众国总统威廉-杰斐逊-克林顿于二000年九月七日在纽约举行了会晤并声明如下：
深知安理会常任理事国在维护国际和平与安全方面的特殊责任，在进入21世纪之际，我们共同庄严承诺，将致力于确保联合国更加强大、更加有效、更有效率。
联合国和国际社会面临的挑战是严峻的。为应对这些挑战，国际社会的反应必须更快、更有针对性并更好地协调。无论从其任务，还是从会员国的规模来看，联合国堪称世界上唯一真正具有普遍性的组织，在21世纪将发挥不可或缺的作用。
联合国能否有效力、创造性及权威性，取决于其会员国的意愿。在迈入新世纪之际，安理会常任理事国保证，与全体会员国一道加强联合国的作用、维护安理会的权威、捍卫《联合国宪章》的宗旨和原则。根据《联合国宪章》，安理会在维护国际和平与安全方面负有首要责任，在确保联合国有能力应对它所面临的挑战方面，安理会特别是其常任理事国有长远的利益。因此，我们有责任加强联合国在这方面的行动能力。只有进一步致力于《联合国宪章》的宗旨和原则，赋予联合国执行诸多使命的手段，我们才能履行确保联合国充分发挥其潜力的义务。
为此，我们将集中在以下优先领域作出努力：
加强在和平与安全方面的领导作用。必须加强联合国的领导作用，特别是在维护国际和平与安全方面的领导作用，以反映本组织所面临的不断变化的挑战与优先问题。这种变革必须考虑国际社会的变化，以及联合国目前必须面对的各种类型的冲突。我们将共同致力于使安理会这一国际和平与安全领域的主要机构更具透明度并有更广泛的代表性，以加强其效力。
加强维和。在过去的10年里，要求联合国介入的国际冲突的性质和数量已经发生了根本变化，但这种变化尚未反映到旨在使联合国有能力完成其面临的诸多使命所进行的结构性改革中。我们保证迅速为联合国提供其在世界范围的维和行动任务所需的行动和财政资源。加强联合国的维和能力就应该加强联合国在预防和解决冲突方面的中心作用。我们将把秘书长和平行动专家小组的建议作为考虑确保联合国在这一重要领域效率的重要因素。
振兴管理。联合国活动的广度、深度及其复杂性需要有效的领导。我们保证支持一切措施，以授权秘书长进一步革新和精简秘书处，评估各方案的效力和效率，将本组织的资源集中于优先领域，同时结束没有理由继续投入的活动。
补充人力资源。联合国最具价值的资源是其工作人员。联合国秘书处职员的技能、远见及敬业精神使联合国得以取得现有成果，并决定着联合国的未来。我们决心支持迅速采取措施，以确保联合国人力资源，特别是维和领域的人力资源，通过透明、平等、吸引全球各地的优秀人才的方法不断得到补充。
重申财政承诺。《联合国宪章》规定，联合国的财政基础必须准确反映每一个会员国的能力和责任。我们保证支持采取措施，通过平等、透明、反映联合国经常会费、维和费用和行动筹资现状的财政结构，扩大联合国的资源基础。我们认识到，现行的基于1973年体系的维和分摊比额需要根据形势的变化，包括各国当前的支付能力，进行调整。考虑到安理会常任理事国的特殊责任，以及联合国会员国履行对联合国的财政义务的责任，我们承诺为当前及将来的联合国行动创造一个更稳定、更平等的财政基础，包括通过调整维和摊款比额，使其反映所有联合国会员国的作用，特别是所有安理会常任理事国在维和经费方面的作用。
在未来的岁月中，我们决心在上述各领域共同努力，确保联合国获得所需资源、远见和支持。作为安理会常任理事国，我们将继续履行《联合国宪章》所规定的义务，承诺使联合国更强大和更有效。为此，我们同意在各个级别就重大国际问题进行更经常的磋商。我们对联合国秘书长在和平、发展和加强联合国方面发挥的作用表示赞赏和支持。
在迈入下一个世纪的时候，我们保证与联合国所有会员国共同努力，缩小分歧，制定新举措，使联合国在其55年的基础上再创业绩。(完)
full text of un permanent five summit document
we, president jiang zemin of the people's republic of china, president jacques chirac of the republic of france, president vladimir vladimirovich putin of the russian federation, prime minister tony blair of the united kingdom of at britain and northern ireland and president william jefferson clinton of the united states of america have met in new york on 7 september 2000 and hereby state the following:
mindful of the special responsibilities of the permanent members of the security council in regard to the maintenance of international peace and security, we share a solemn commitment to ensuring that the un is stronger, more effective and more efficient than ever before as it enters the 21st century.
the challenges facing the un and the world community are daunting. to meet such challenges, the world community's response must be quicker, more targeted, and better coordinated than ever before. as the world's only truly universal organization -- in terms both of its mandate and its membership -- the un has an essential role in the 21st century.
the un can only be as effective, as creative and as authoritative as its members will it to be. moving into the next century, the permanent members of the security council pledge, together with the entire membership, to strengthen the un, ensure the authority of the security council and uphold the purposes and principles of the charter. bearing primary responsibility under the charter for the maintenance of international peace and security, the security council, in particular its permanent members, has an abiding interest in ensuring that the un is equipped to meet the challenges it faces. we therefore commit ourselves to strengthen the operational capabilities of the security council in this area. only by strengthening our dedication to the purposes and principles of the un charter, and by endowing the un with the means to deliver on its many mandates, can we fulfill our obligations to ensure that the un can achieve its full potential.
to this end, we will focus our efforts on the following priority areas:
enhancing leadership for peace and security -- the un's leadership role, particularly in maintaining international peace and security, must be strengthened to reflect the organization's changing challenges and priorities. this evolution must take into account both the shifting face of the world community and the types of conflicts the un must confront today. we commit ourselves to foster a more transparent and broadly representative un security council to enhance its effectiveness as the leading body in the field of international peace and
security.
strengthening peacekeeping -- the nature and number of international conflicts demanding un involvement has shifted fundamentally over the past decade, a change that has yet to be reflected in structural reforms to equip the un to fulfill the array of mandates it now faces. we pledge to move expeditiously to endow the un with resources -- both operational and financial -- commensurate to the tasks it faces in its peacekeeping activities worldwide. enhancing the united nations peacekeeping capacity should strengthen the un's central role in conflict prevention and settlement. we look to the recommendations of the secretary general's expert panel on peace operations as an important element to be considered in order to ensure the un's effectiveness in this vital arena.
revitalizing management -- the breadth, scope, and complexity of the un's activities demand effective leadership. we pledge to support steps to empower the secretary general with a mandate to modernize and streamline the secretariat further, to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of programs, and to focus the organization's resources on priority areas, while bringing closure to activities that no longer warrant continued investment.
replenishing human resources -- the un's most valuable resource is its people. the skill, vision, and dedication of the un secretariat staff has made possible all that the un has accomplished to date, and will determine the organization's future. we pledge to support prompt steps to ensure that the un's base of human capital, particularly in the field of peacekeeping, can be fortified through a process that is transparent, equitable, and designed to attract the very best talent available from all corners of the globe.
reaffirming financial commitment -- as enshrined in the charter, the un's financial base must accurately reflect the capabilities and responsibilities of every member state. we pledge to support measures to broaden the resource base of this institution through financial structures that are equitable, transparent and reflective of current realities for the regular budget and the peacekeeping budget, and the financing of un activities. we recognize the need to adjust the existing peacekeeping scale of assessments, which is based on the 1973 system, in light of changed circumstances, including countries' current capacity to pay. taking into account our special responsibilities as permanent members of the security council, and the duty of all member states to meet their financial obligations to the un, we commit to creating a more stable and equitable financial foundation for current and future un operations, including through adjustments to the peacekeeping scale of assessment to reflect the role of all member states, and especially the role of all permanent members in peacekeeping financing.
in each of these areas we pledge to work together in coming months and years to ensure that the un is imbued with the resources, the vision and the support it needs. as permanent members of the security council, we will continue to fulfill our obligations under the charter and commit to making un organization stronger and more effective. to this end, we ae to have more regular exchanges of views on important international issues at all levels.
we express our appreciation and support for un secretary general for the role he plays in the service of peace, development and strengthening the united nations.
as we move into the next century, we pledge to work with the entire un membership to bridge differences and ae on new measures to build on the promise of the un's first 55 years.
