Essay from the year 2016 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: International Organisations, Lazarski University, course: Diplomacy, language: English, abstract: The article evaluates the role of the UN in the contemporary world. It demonstrates the successes and failures of the UN during its operations in different regions all over the world. The United Nations as an intergovernmental organization has emerged since the end of the WWII as an outcome of the Yalta Conference and was intended to prevent new conflicts and to secure peace all over the globe. There are military and humanitarian operations conducted by the UN at the end of the 20th century which took place and were quite successful. However, there are a number of disputes concerning the question whether the UN is a tool for resolving conflicts or it is creating problems in the international arena, that are emerging in the contemporary world. Indeed, today the UN demonstrates its inefficiency when it comes to the resolution of regional conflicts as well as international issues. There are a number of cases demonstrating the success and failure of the UN in conflict resolution. Thus, the efficiency of the UN will be analyzed in several conflicts that took place in the past or are continuing as of 2016.

Our Common Agenda - Report of the Secretary-General by United Nations Pdf

On the seventy-fifth anniversary of the United Nations, the world has faced its biggest shared test since the Second World War in the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. Yet while our welfare, and indeed the permanence of human life, depend on us working together, international cooperation has never been harder to achieve. This report answers a call from UN Member States to provide recommendations to advance our common agenda and to respond to current and future challenges. Its proposals are grounded in a renewal of the social contract, adapted to the challenges of this century, taking into account younger and future generations, complemented by a new global deal to better protect the global commons and deliver global public goods. Through a deepening of solidarity—at the national level, between generations, and in the multilateral system—Our Common Agenda provides a path forward to a greener, safer and better future.

The United Nations in the 21st Century, Sixth Edition, provides a comprehensive yet accessible introduction to the UN. It explores the historical, institutional, and theoretical foundations of the UN as well as major global trends and challenges facing the organization today, including changing major power dynamics, new threats to peace and security, the migration and refugee crises, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the existential challenges of climate change and sustainability. Thoroughly revised and expanded, it contains two new chapters on the UN and the environment and on human security, including issues of health, food security, global migration, and human trafficking. There is enhanced analysis of theoretical perspectives on post-colonialism, feminist theory, constructivism, and non-Western views. New content has also been added on the UN’s budget crisis, public–private partnerships, and the role of women in the organization. By examining the UN as an intergovernmental organization facing the broader need for global cooperation to address economic, social, and environmental interdependencies alongside the threats posed by rising nationalism and populism, this popular text is the perfect reference for all students and practitioners of international organizations, global governance, and international relations.

The United Nations by Sven Bernhard Gareis Pdf

There hardly seems to be a global issue in the world today in which the United Nations (UN) is not expected to play a key role. And indeed, despite a persistent gulf between high expectations and the UN's capacities, the organization continues to be a unique and indispensable actor in areas such as peace maintenance, human rights protection, and development. Thoroughly revised and updated, the second edition of this highly acclaimed text provides a concise analysis of the UN, its structure and work, achievements and shortcomings, and its likely role and prospects in the twenty-first century. The new edition covers the latest institutional and structural developments – including the creation of the Peacebuilding Commission and the establishment of a permanent Human Rights Council – and reflects recent debates on UN reform.

Essays commence with a quick reference section that provides basic facts on the individual's life and achievements. The extended biography places the life and works of the individual within an historical context, and the summary at the end of each essay provides a synopsis of the individual's place in history. All entries conclude with a fully annotated bibliography.
