US wants to renegotiate draft UN reform agreement: report

A total of 750 UN amendments have been presented to selected envoys by the new US Ambassador to the UN John Bolton.
In them, the US government proposes to eliminate new pledges on foreign aid to poor nations, scrap provisions calling for action to halt climate change and urging greater progress by nuclear powers in dismantling their nuclear arms.
...
The US amendments call for striking any mention of the 2000 Millennium Development Goals, in which UN members set goals over the next 15 years to reduce poverty, preventable diseases and other scourges of the world's poor.
In their stead, the US wants to underscore the importance of the 2002 Monterrey (Mexico) Consensus, that focused on free-market reforms and required governments to improve accountability in exchange for aid and debt relief, the Post said.
The proposals also underscore US efforts to impose greater oversight of UN spending and to eliminate any reference to the International Criminal Court.
