  • Date: 2nd May 2007
  • Summary: (AD1) UNITED NATIONS (APRIL 23, 2007) (REUTERS) FLAGS OUTSIDE THE U.N. (SOUNDBITE) (English) DUMISANI KHUMALO, SOUTH AFRICAN AMBASSADOR TO THE UNITED NATIONS, SAYING: "I'm a prisoner of hope you know, I'm perpetually hopeful. But you know Security Council reform happens in the General Assembly. And I'm hoping that would happen, but if it doesn't happen this time it will happen eventually because this Security Council is not representative of the world. That's why they have difficulty with Sudan, that's why they have difficulty with Iran because they're not representative. So that will always haunt the Security Council, but, I hope it happens while I'm still here, if not, it doesn't matter, there will be someone else."
