The organisation must play a central role in the fight against terrorism, Mr Putin told the gathering of some 150 world leaders in New York.

Oh how nice would it be to have a UN that could actually solve problems in the world rather than shy away from them!

We need the UN to have a bit more 'backbone' in future and sort what seems to be a failing world out quickly!
