Informing that the UN employees perform thousands of mandates provided by them with such bodies as the General Assembly or Security Council, UN Secretary General Antoniu Gutherrish said that the “huge number of meetings and reports” brought the system and all the members of the UN to the limit.
According to him, 5% of the most popular reports download more than 5.5 thousand times, while each fifth report downloads less than 1 thousand times, and downloading does not yet guarantee reading. Therefore, Gutherrish came to the conclusion that the reports “few reads.”
The UN Secretary General proposed, in particular, to hold fewer meetings and prepare fewer reports. Instead, focus on quality.
