Each party to the negotiations, whether dealing openly or behind the scenes, relayed its demands to Javier Perez de Cuellar. The U.N.

In his first term, Perez de Cuellar often told colleagues that he wanted out, but was persuaded to remain five years more. France, a permanent member of the Security Council, is now pressing the Peruvian to stay on for a third term. The Soviets too have indicated they would like him to stay put. This endorsement of the status quo distresses reform-minded U.N. staff members and diplomats who believe the world body...
