In his speech, Annan said that the CSD was initially set up as a token gesture to ensure the "non-binding Principles for the Sustainable Development of Forests Statement was given lip service." Since then the Commission has largely been involved in aiding disputes between "altruistic Multinational Corporations and various Third World trouble makers such as women, youths, indigenous peoples, environmentalists, non-governmental organizations, local authorities, workers and other irritants." The name change would accompany a change of focus for the Committee. The charter of the Commission would be altered to assist Multinational Corporations in their dealings with these undesirables.

The CUE will work towards steamrolling these disruptions in order to promote an era of unrestrained greed, immorality and lawlessness amongst Multinational Corporations and business leaders alike."
