The United Nations Secretary-General has committed to making a success of what he described as a “seemingly impossible job”.

Speaking as he began his second five-year term as the chief of the UN, Ban Ki-moon said the challenges faced by the UN and its 193 member states could be overcome if the UN was more united and better organized.

Maha Fayek asked Mr. Ban what his mission will be over the next five years.
