Bachelet stated the need for reforms at the UN

The United Nations needs to modernize and carry out reforms,  the candidate for the post of Secretary General of the organization, former Chilean President Michelle Bachelet said.

“We need to look inside ourselves, modernize, and carry out the necessary reforms. I think they are extremely necessary. I didn’t realize this because I became a candidate. I realized this when I was still working at the UN,” Bachelet said.

She also listed the qualities that the UN Secretary-General should possess, including neutrality, independence, impartiality and adherence to the UN Charter and international law.
