USUN PRESS RELEASE #305
I am sad to hear of Chris
Burnham's resignation as Under Secretary General for
Management at the United Nations. I am grateful for the
service he has dedicated to reforming the United Nations
through his tireless efforts to achieve a more efficient,
more transparent, and ultimately more effective
organization. His commitment to reform the institution and
to improve its management will leave an important legacy
for the new team of leaders coming to the UN in January.
Over the next several weeks and leading up to Secretary
General-designate Ban Ki-Moon's taking office, we expect
many other senior UN officials to transition out as well,
and we thank all of them for their service.
