The Secretary General has submitted a reasonable reform plan, but a majority of UN member states, acting together as the so-called G-77, are balking, because they regard it as another step in reducing the authority of the General Assembly relative to the Security Council. In particular, they object to the plan’s proposal to give increased powers and responsibilities to the Secretary General, whose selection is effectively in the hands of the Security Council’s five permanent members, which wield veto power.
秘书长也已提交了一份合乎情理的改革规划。但是，联合国成员国的大多数国家，即所谓的77国集团联合强烈反对。这是因为它们认为这是迈向削弱联合国大会、偏重于安理会的又一个步骤。它们特别反对该规划中赋予秘书长更多权力和责任的建议，而拥有否决权的安理会五个常任理事国实际上决定秘书长的人选。
