UNITED NATIONS, Aug. 5 (Xinhuanet) -- With the UN summit less than six weeks away, UN member states remain deeply divided over the definition of terrorism, the creation of a human rights council and other key elements of a blueprint for reinventing the United Nations, diplomats said on Friday.

    At a press conference, two senior UN diplomats presented an early look at what global leaders might adopt when they gather in September to mark the world body's 60th anniversary and forge a new global consensus on development, security, human rights and UN institutional reform.

    "This is very much a work in progress. We have a long way to go and a very short time to get there," said Barbados Ambassador Christopher Hackett, one of General Assembly President Jean Ping's facilitators monitoring the negotiations on the blueprint.

    Hackett and Australian Ambassador John Dauth, one of the General Assembly's vice presidents, unveiled a revised version of the so-called draft outcome document, the blueprint for UN reforms, which has yet to be adopted at the September UN summit.

    Hackett stressed that the revised text had been drafted following intense consultations among member states in the past two weeks.

    He said the new draft, the second update since June, is more focused on development issues, the concerns of the developing countries.

    Although much work remained to be done before a document acceptable to all member states was agreed, Hackett said it was clear that members were committed to making real progress during this "last push" before the summit.

    Member states are expected to continue their negotiations on or around Aug. 22, when Assembly President Ping returns from his homeland, Gabon.

    Hackett said that although member states were prepared to establish the peace building commission, the size and composition of that body was still under consideration. Discussions would also continue on matters related to dismantling the commission on human rights and creating a more effective Human rights council.

    He said that negotiations would also continue on finding agreeable language on a definition for terrorism, matters related to the responsibility to protect, the UN Secretariat reform, and the Security Council expansion. Enditem
