Report of the 11Th Meeting in Bonn 2017 Department of Economic and Social Affairs 11th Meeting of National Recruitment Services and UN Organizations on the JPO Programmes Bonn, 25th - 27th April 2017 Final Report United Nations New York, 2018 DESA The Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations Secretariat is a vital interface between global policies in the economic, social and environmental sphere and national action. The Department works in three main interlinked areas: i) it compiles, generates and analyzes a wide range of economic, social and environmental data and information on which Member States of the United Nations draw to review common problems and to take stock of policy options; ii) it facilitates the negotiations of Member States in many intergovernmental bodies on a joint course of action to address ongoing or emerging global challenges; and iii) it advises interested governments on the ways and means of translating policy frameworks developed in United Nations conferences and summits into programmes at the country level and, through technical assistance, helps build national capacities. Note The designations employed and the presentation of material in this report do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the Secretariat of the United Nations concerning the legal status of any country, territory, city or area or of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries.

Executive Summary The 11th Meeting of National Recruitment Services and UN Organizations on the JPO Programmes was held in Bonn, Germany from 25th to 27th of April 2017. It was attended by over 100 delegates and representatives of UN organizations and partner countries (see Annex III). The Agenda focused on trends in the JPO Programmes, particularly in the context of ongoing reforms in the UN System, with the view of further enhancing the Programmes and its contribution to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The Meeting engaged three focal areas: 1) JPOs and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development was the main thematic nexus of discussions during the Meeting; Participants acknowledged the importance of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and made suggestions and exchanges of views on Programme reforms aiming at supporting UN Organizations in their implementation of the Agenda through the provision of talented young professionals. The UN System Staff College (UNSSC) noted that the 2030 Agenda would require structural and cultural changes in the organization of development agencies and the UN System; JPOs could become future leaders of the Agenda, regardless of their future career development, and as such, they shall develop competencies such as Systems Thinking, Co-Creation, Focusing on Impact, and Driving Transformational Change. While commending the commitment of the JPO Programmes to sustainable development, Assistant Secretary-General for Policy Coordination and Inter-Agency Affairs of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Mr. Thomas Gass, emphasized the need to maximize JPO talent and enthusiasm as efficient tools to satisfy the ambitions of the 2030 Agenda. 2) Human Resources Management Reform A second main subject addressed during the Meeting was the status of ongoing United Nations Human Resources Management Reforms. Ms. Aruna Thanabalasingnam of the United Nations Office of Human Resources Management (OHRM) outlined in detail the latest progress in the UN Secretariat, such as the 3 recently launched New Staff Selection and Managed Mobility System, followed by a presentation by the Head of UN DESA’s Capacity Development Office, Mr. Mario Tuason, who provided a general overview of recent developments potentially impacting the JPO Programmes, while Ms. Lorrae Davey, UNDP JPO Service Centre, and Ms. Andrea Theocharis, UN Secretariat JPO Programme, further analyzed the impact of changes to the staff compensation package that were recently implemented following a comprehensive review by the International Civil Services Commission (ICSC). In addition, diversity in the JPO Programmes, and opportunities for professional development for JPOs were recurring points of Meeting conversations. Ms. Lykke Andersen of the UNDP JPO Service Centre, by addressing the subject of inclusiveness, highlighted the underrepresentation of persons with disabilities in the JPO Programmes. 3) Best Practices and Further Developing the JPO Programmes Country-specific assessments provided insights on best practices, achievements, and solutions to challenges in the JPO Programmes. An analysis conducted by the Italian Programme highlighted the general trends and the positive career development of Italian sponsored former JPOs in the last 40 years, outlining how serving as a JPO had been relevant for the participants to the Programme, regardless of the different career paths they undertook afterwards. The evaluation conducted by the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs found its JPOs to place greater importance on personal development, meaningfulness, and the challenge level of work when deciding to join, remain in, or to leave the Programme. Meeting Participants also gained insights from representatives of the recently established Chinese and Kuwaiti JPO Programmes. Additionally, Mr. Matteo Sasso of the UN Secretariat JPO Programme devoted discussion on ways to improve the sponsorship of candidates from developing countries (DCCs), Ms. Messina of UNSSC stressed the importance of strong learning frameworks for JPOS, and Mr. Jean-Luc Marcelin of the UNDP JPO Service Centre, presenting

  • Eugene Barilo Von Reisberg, M
    Eugene Barilo von Reisberg, Garters and Petticoats: Franz Xaver Winterhalter’s 1843 Portraits of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert EUGENE BARILO VON REISBERG Garters and Petticoats: Franz Xaver Winterhalter’s 1843 Portraits of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert ABSTRACT What does official royal iconography tell us? What messages does it communicate about the sitters – and from the sitters? This paper deconstructs two official portraits of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert painted by Franz Xaver Winterhalter (1805-1873) in 1843. It outlines the complex semantic layering within this pair of British royal portraits, and explores in particular the emphasis on Prince Albert‘s newly-acquired ‗Englishness‘ and the notion of an iconographic ‗gender reversal‘ within the context of traditional marital pendants. The Honourable Eleanor Stanley wrote in a letter that a ‗regular dull evening‘ at Windsor Castle on 24 March 1845 was enlivened by the youthful Queen Victoria‘s impassioned speech about the state of British portraiture, ‗a terrible broadside at English artists, both as regards their works and … their prices, and their charging her particularly outrageously high.‘1 The twenty-six-year-old queen spoke from experience. As the heir apparent to the British throne, she had been painted from infancy by a succession of artists, vying for the patronage of the future sovereign. From her accession in 1837, the queen sat to numerous painters who failed to satisfy the requirements of official portraiture in the eyes of the monarch, her courtiers, and the critics. David Wilkie‘s (1785-1841) portrait of the queen was condemned by the critics as being ‗execrable‘.2 The queen considered her portrait by Martin Archer Shee (1769- 1850) as ‗monstrous‘;3 while the Figaro compared her countenance in the portrait by George Hayter (1792-1871) as that of an ‗ill-tempered and obstinate little miss.‘4 Portraits of Prince Albert, whom the queen married in February 1840, did not fair much better.

PREFACE Strengthening Enforcement and Compliance Is Essential for Fast Climate Protection Climate change increasingly threatens the health of our planet and the stability of our economies at the local, regional and global levels. Many countries are already sufering from climate impacts—severe water shortages, intense droughts and wildfres, and record-breaking foods, along with disappearances of indigenous species and outbreaks of invasive ones. Communities in coastal areas and islands must also brace for impacts of ocean warming and sea level rise, including shoreline erosion and the intensifcation of hurricanes and typhoons, which fall into a new category of “super storms”.

  • The UNSSC Knowledge Centre for Sustainable Development
    UNSSC Knowledge Centre for Sustainable Development The UNSSC Knowledge Centre for Sustainable Development The United Nations System Staff College Knowledge Centre for Sustainable Development opened in Bonn in 2016, with the support of the Federal Government of Germany. It offers free and fee-based courses, training and learning events – available online and face-to-face – as well as diverse knowledge products. Its mission is to respond to the comprehensive learning, training, and knowledge management needs of UN staff and partners in the context of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development as well as the Paris Agreement under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Alongside the Paris Agreement, the Addis Ababa Action Agenda, and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, the 2030 Agenda is the most comprehensive blueprint to date for eliminating extreme poverty, reducing inequality, and protecting the planet. All offerings at the Knowledge Centre for Sustainable Development are designed to address the paradigm shift and the adjustments in competency and skill sets that are needed to bring about transformative change. About Bonn Bonn is Germany’s centre for international cooperation and a leading sustainability cluster. It prides itself for being the host of numerous UN entities, federal ministries and agencies, scientific institutions, and non-governmental organisations working in the field of sustainable development. Bonn also stands for culture and nature: situated on the banks of the Rhine, it is a modern, lively, and cosmopolitan city with a history of over 2,000 years. The pattern of Beethoven’s hometown is set by its old and famous university, its former role as the seat of government (transferred to Berlin after reunification), its busy commercial life, and ongoing cultural offers at its museums, opera, theatres, and galleries.

So what a great pleasure, as well as a privilege, it is for us in Auckland to be allowed to see this selection of royal portraits and sporting pictures from the collections of Their Excellencies the Governor- General and Lady Norrie. A private collection should reflect its owner; and that is exactly what the collection now being exhibited does. Even if we knew nothing previously of the special interests of Their Excellencies, we would be aware immediately from these works, of Their Excellencies' deep love of British history and those activities of country life which have played such an important part in forming the character of rural England. The paintings which form part of these collections demonstrate also the artistic judgment and taste of Their Excellencies, for all of them have been chosen not only for the personages and events represented, but for their qualities as works of art as well. Their Excellencies' pictures have not been exhibited previously in New Zealand, and Auckland feels proud that the exhibition should form part of its 1955 Festival of the Arts, which has already become a dominant feature in the life of our City.
