British Prime Minister Calls for UN and World Bank Reform (1/2)
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown says global bodies established after the Second World War should begin to reflect the concerns of a "new global society", and take account of the rise of Asia.
The British leader spoke in New Delhi, where he traveled after meeting Chinese leaders last week. In the Indian capital, he outlined what kind of reform he wants for institutions like the United Nations.
"To convert them into real change in the months and years ahead, to create a new International Monetary Fund for the modern world, to create a new World Bank that can meet the environmental challenges as well as the development challenges, to create a new United Nations that can meet the challenges of rebuilding where there are conflicts and where there are fragile states in need of international assistance and support."
The British leader wants the World Bank to create a multi-billion dollar fund to tackle climate change and finance low-carbon investment. He wants the IMF to be at the heart of a global early warning system against financial turbulence. He also wants the creation of a new international reaction force to help rebuild "failed states" that harbor terrorism.

英国首相戈登·布朗说,第二次世界大战之后建立的世界格局应该开始考虑反映“新全球社会”,而且亚洲崛起应考虑在内。
英国领导人上周在与中国领导人会晤之后抵达新德里,发表了讲话。在印度首都,他对自己所期望联合国之类的机构如何改革做了简单描述。
“要让他们提前数月甚至数年开始真正的变革,要给现代社会建立一个新的国际货币基金组织;要建立新的世界银行,有能力迎接环境和发展的双重挑战;要建立新的联合国,能让处于战乱和脆弱的政府在国际援助和支持下得以重建。”
英国领导人希望世界银行建立数万亿美元的基金,用于解决气候变化问题和投资低碳项目。他希望国际货币基金组织成为全球金融危机预警系统的核心。他还希望能够建立新的国际应变部队,协助那些窝藏恐怖主义的垮台国家重建政权。
