    Summary of AG-011 United Nations Executive Office of the Secretary-General (EOSG) (1946-present) Title United Nations Executive Office of the Secretary-General (EOSG) (1946-present) Active Dates 1919-2014 Administrative History The Executive Office of the Secretary-General (EOSG) was established initially in 1946 to assist the Secretary-General with relations with members and organs of the United Nations, and with specialized agencies and non-governmental organizations, as well as to assist with policy and coordination of the Secretariat. It was established shortly after the first Secretary-General of the United Nations took office following appointment by the General Assembly on 1 February 1946. The Executive Office of the Secretary-General "assists the Secretary-General in the performance of those functions which he does not delegate to the departments and for which he retains personal responsibility. These functions include consultation with governments and the heads of the specialized agencies and the supervision of special projects" (YUN, 1947-1948) It also aids in policy creation and implementation, coordinates the activities of the departments, publications and correspondence, and advises on UN protocol. The following Secretariat bodies reported to the Secretary-General from the beginning: the Department of Security Council Affairs, the Department of Economic Affairs, the Department of Social Affairs, the Department of Trusteeship and Information from Non-Self-Governing Territories, the Department of Public Information, the Department of Legal Affairs, the Department of Conference and General Services, and the Department of Administrative and Financial Services. From 1946 through the 1950s the EOSG was responsible for protocol and liaison with diplomatic representatives, as well as for relationships with non-governmental organizations, communications with member state representatives and related, and for the coordination and support of General Assembly activities.

  • Briefing European Parliamentary Research Service
    Briefing October 2016 The 2016 election of a new UN Secretary-General SUMMARY On 13 October, the United Nations General Assembly appointed a European, António Guterres, to the post of UN Secretary-General, after a selection that was, in part, unprecedentedly transparent. For the first time in history, the nominated candidates had the opportunity to present their vision in public dialogues organised in the General Assembly with member states and civil society representatives. Guterres emerged somewhat unexpectedly as the chosen candidate – without much diplomatic wrangling in the Security Council, and defying expectations that the next secretary-general would be a woman and/or an eastern European, according to the principle of diversity which holds sway in the UN. Given his strong political and diplomatic experience and his commitment to the refugees cause (he served as head of the UN Refugee Agency), his election has raised expectations that he will improve the UN's functioning and address current global challenges, especially the Syrian crisis and the refugee crisis. In his vision statement, Guterres emphasised the importance of a 'diplomacy of peace' for his future mandate, focusing on the prevention of conflicts through political means. The commitment to human rights, sustainable development, women's empowerment and the value of diversity embodied in today's increasingly multi- ethnic, multi-cultural and multi-religious societies defines his approach to rising global challenges. He intends to make the UN more efficient and more decentralised.

  • THE MASS MEDIA DECLARATION in the AMERICAN PRESS Prepared
    THE MASS MEDIA DECLARATION IN THE AMERICAN PRESS Prepared for presentation at the International Symposium on the Mass Media Declaration of Unesco Tampere, Finland, June 26-28, 1987 By George Gerbner University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, U.S.A. On November 22, 1978, the 146 member states attending Unesco's 20th General Conference in Paris approved by acclamation a Declaration on Fundamental Principles concerning the Contribution of the Mass Media to Stregthening Peace and International Understanding, to the Promotion of Human Rights and to Countering Racialism, Apartheid, and Incitement to War. The Declaration was the first and only comprehensive official statement of principles regarding the mass media ever adopted by a Unesco General Conference. Contemporary accounts recorded a standing ovation and "thunderous applause" upon its passage. The chair congratulated Unesco Director-General Amadou Mahtar M'Bow for resolving a conflict that for a time threatened to tear the organization apart. The chief American delegate called it "a triumph of the spirit of goodwill and international cooperation." He lauded "all those who participated in the deliberations that produced it, and especially the Director-General, whose patience and perseverance encouraged those of us who felt at one point that a document satisfactory to all might be too much to expect." The Washington Post cited the views of many that M' Bow's "role in today's unanimity opens the road for the former education minister of Senegal to make a serious bid to succeed U.N. Secretary General Kurt Waldheim." • 2 The euphoria turned out to be short-lived. Five years later M'Bow would be discredited in the American press and decide not to run for a third term.
