REPORT OF THE COUNCIL OF THE UNITED NATIONS UNIVERSITY

I. GENERAL OVERVIEW

1. CUring the period from July 1981 to June 1982, the Medium-Term. Perspective, 1982-1987, of the United Nations University, with its new orientation on five themes and three modes, was adopted, and a renewed emphasis was placed on the multi-disciplinary approach to the solution of the urgent global problems which the Charter has mandated the University to 'address. A significant step in the process of strengthening the Tbkyo Centre was also taken during this time, in November 1981, when the dedication ceremony for the site of the University's permanent headquarters in central Tbkyo was held following a decision on its selection by the Japanese Ministry of Education. The plot of land in the 1\oyama area of Shibuya Ward# of approximately 18,600 square metres, was made available by the City of Tokyo. The university records its expression of gratitude to the 'lbkyo Metropolitan Government and to the Government of Japan. In the same period a start was made to redress the serious deficiency of the absence of statutes. An evaluation of the University and its work was also presented by the Joint Inspection unit (see A/37/lll), thus giving the Council benefit of the view of external assessors.

2. Nevertheless, in keeping with its philosophy of continuity with change, the University maintained its momentum in the original programmes and enlarged on the foundations built in the early years. The University now has 26 associated institutions and some 100 research and training units carrying out the work of the United Nations university in more than 60 countries. A total of 124 United Nations University fellows are now in training, and 233 had completed training by 31 December 1981. Some 84 workshops, seminars, symposia and meetings were held during the year under review. In this period the University published 110 titles, with a significant increase in technical reports.

3. en the financial side, pledges to the Endowment Fund and Operating Fund from 37 Governments, as at June 1982, totalled SUS 145.1 million, of which $US 119.9 million had been received. The University was pleased to welcome the first contribution of the Governments of Egypt and of Trinidad and Tbbago. Fbr the l2-month period ending 31 December 1981, expenditures incurred for the operation of the University amounted to.$US 15.6 million. The planned expenditure for 1982 was targeted at $US 17.5 million.

u. COUNCIL SESSIONS in 1981/1982, OFFICERS AND COMMITTEES

4. '1lle Council of the United Nations University met twice during the year 1981/1982. The eighteenth session was held in Abu Dhabi from 21 to 25 November 1981 and the nineteenth session in 'lbkyo from 21 to 25 June 1982. At its eighteenth session, the Council adopted the University's Medium-Term Perspective. 1982-1987 and approved the proposed programme and budget for 1982. At its nineteenth session, the Council reviewed the University's progress and received a report from the Fector on developments since the eighteenth session.

-1- 5. At its eighteenth session, the Council elected the following COuncil members to serve as Chairman and Vice-Chairmen of the Council:

Chairman: Mr. Abdel Salam Majali (second term)

Vice-Chairmen: Mrs. Elise Boulding (second term) Mr. Dennis Irvine

Mr. :Re imu t Jochimsen I

Father Felipe E. MacGregor (second term) I Mr. Shizuo Saito (second term) (Ebr the full membership, see annex I).

6. At the same session, the Council appointed an ad hoc committee to review the existing rules of procedure and prepare guidelines for the conduct of business of I Council meetings, as well as to consider ways of ensuring substantive discussions of the university Programme during Council sessions. The Ad Hoc COmmittee duly reported to the Council at the nineteenth session, and, acting on its recommendation, the COuncil adopted revised rules of procedure and a statement on its established practice. In accordance with the revised rules, the Council established the standing Committee on Institutional Relations and Programmatic Development, redefined the functions of the standing COmmittee on Finance and Budget, and appointed the Ad Hoc COmmittee on Statutes and Rules. The term of all these committees expires at the end of the twentieth session.

7. under the revised rules, the Committee on Institutional Relations and Programmatic Development shall advise the Council on: (a) the over-all strategy for institutional and programmatic development within the framework of the Medium­ Term PersPective) (b) designating the associated institutions) (c) setting up or incorporation of the research and training centres and programmes in various countries and establishing standards for their operations) (d) determining various kinds of arrangements under which institutions and individuals may be associated with the University's work, and ,the criteria for such institutions and individuals to ensure maintenance of the highest academic standards) and (e) granting adequate resources to research and training centres for their work. This Committee shall review the progress and results of evaluation studies on the University and its programmatic activities.

8. Under the revised rules, the Committee on Finance and Budget shall study the estimated income and expenditures as contained in the proposed programme and budget submitted by the Rector and present the Committee's comments thereon to the COuncil. The COmmittee shall consult with the chairman of the Committee on Institutional Relations and Programmatic Development and the chairmen of the sub-oommittees established by the COuncil under rule 17 (c), in order to agree on the proposed expenditures and financial allocations before presenting its recommendations to the COuncil on the adoption of the proposed programme and budget. The Committee shall also facilitate the consideration by the Council of the methods of financing the university with a view to ensuring the effectiveness of its future operations, their continuity and the university's autonomous character within the framework of the united Nations.

-2- 9. 'ltle assignment of the Ad Hoc Committee on statutes and Rules is to assist the Council in the consideration of the Hector's draft on the University's statutes and in drafting procedures for the appointment of University personnel so as to ensure that intellectual and moral quality is maintained.

Ill. MEDIUM-TERM PERSPECTIVE, 1982-1987

10. At its eighteenth session, the Council adopted the University's Medium-Term Perspective, 1982-1987. Preparation of·the Medium-~rm Perspective was started two years earlier when the Council decided that the time had been reached when the University could no longer operate on a year-to-year basis, which, of necessity, had been the practice in the formative years, from 1975 to 1980, and should begin to think in longer terms and plan accordingly. The final shape of the Medium-Term Perspective was the result of extensive consultation w.ith the Ad Hoc Committee on Planning set up by Council in 1980, the Rector's Advisory Committee, the staff of the University, the scholars in its networks, among others (see annex 11).

11. 'ltle principal aittlS of the Medium-Term Perspective, which are to be pursued concurrently, may be summarized as fo~lowss .

(a) To broaden the scope of the university's progranune and to make it more coherent, responsive and, above all, multidimensional in characteq

(b) To strengthen the intellectual and administrative capacity of the University's centre in Tokyo,

(c) To make the University a more decentralized and mu1ticentred global institution through development of institutional networks.

(d) 'lb increase the financial resources.

12. Research, post-graduate training and the dissemination of knowledge to be covered under the Medium-Term Perspective will be conducted as a single University programme with subprogrammes responding to five themes. The themes and central subprogrammes are:

.Themes

I. Peace, security, conflict resolution and global transformation

II. Global economy

Ill. Hunger, poverty, resources and the environment

IV. Human and social development and coexistence of peoples, cultures and social systems.

v. SCience and technology and their social and ethical implications.

-3- Subprogrammes

Existing (each having ongoing and new projects)

(a) Resource policy and management (Theme Ill)

(b) Energy systems and policy (Theme IIl)

(c) Pbod, nutrition and poverty (Theme IIl)

(d) SCience, technology and social innovation (Theme V)

(e) Peace and global transformation (Theme I)

(f) Development problematique (Theme IV)

Exploratory

(g) Fbod-energy nexus ('1heme Ill)

(h) Cultures and world development (Theme IV)

(i) Socio-cu1tural implications of demographic change (Theme IV)

(j) Problems and methods of global learning (all themes)

13. The five themes that have been adopted are not programme activities in themselves) instead they provid~ the guidelines for activities to be developed and implemented through three modes of operations organized in divisions: (a) Development Studies, (b) Regional and Global Studies, and (c) Global Learning. This new approach is designed to achieve greater horizontal integration, so that no defined problem is studied in isolation just because it fits in a particular discipline, and vertical integration, in order to understand better the interconnections of each problem at the local, national, regional and global levels.

Deve10pnent Studies Division

14. The work of this Division is country specific and comparative and is aimed at improving understanding of global problems as they are manifested in particular locales. It seeks to link the local and micro level problems to national dimensions (as well as to their international dimensions through co-operative work with the Regional and Global Studies Division). There are now four subprogrammes under this Division:

(a) !'bod, nutrition and poverty,

(b) :Resource policy and management,

(c) Energy systems and policy,

(d) Household, gender and age.

The Division's activities involve field work, experimentation and related post­ graduate training.

-4- Regional and Global Studies Division

15. A major responsibility of this Division is to study problems and their broadest international dimensions, global and regional, to ensure that empirical and policy-oriented research results contribute to the broader debate involving the regional and international, scientific and academic communities. There are three subprogrammes under this Division, and a fourth is being planned,

(a) Peace and global transformation)

(b) D:!velopnent problematique)

(c) SCience, technology and social innovation)

(d) Cultures and world development (planning stage) •

. Global Learning Division

16. The work of the Division is a response to problems created by rapid societal change both at the national and international levels. It has three main objectives, promotion of a more equitable distribution of capacity to have access to knowledge) encouragement of the understanding of local and national problems in their global dimensions and vice versa) and study of the problems and opportunities created by the rapid growth of new communications and information technology. '!Wo possible subprogrammes are now being explored,

(a) New M:>des for Dissemination and Sharing of Knowledge (village information transfer) scientific knowledge for self-management at the local level) distance learning systems, etc.»)

(b) The Information Society (analysis and assessment of current national and international issues) transformation of knowledge and new form of literacy, information overload, etc.).

17. The Division has the further responsibility of strengthening the outreach of the University through co-operation with the United Nations system, international scientific organizations and other bodies. This forms the basis of a subprogramme on the University's outreach, and co-operation with other organizations, inclUding dissemination and exchange through publications, information networks and other techniques.

IV. OONTINUITY WITH CHANGE: THE UNIVERSITY'S PROGRAMME IN 1981-1982

18. The five themes and three modes which constitute the basis of the Medium-iI'erm Perspective were designed to build on, and not replace, the earlier University programmes. This process of building on previous work characterizes the University's activities in the year under review as reflected in the brief summary on the five themes which follow'

Theme I •. Peace, security, conflict resolution and global transformation

19. '!he central activities under this theme were consolidated in the subprogramme on peace and global transformation. Activities covered the commissioning of

-5- state-of-the-art papers on key issues, including the role of the State, the process of militarization, military research and development, and violence and human rights. In December 1981 the University acted as host for a meeting of the Independent Commission on Disarmament and Security Issues (the Palme Commission) at the Tbkyo Centre and co-sponsored a workshop, on Disarmament and International security. In the same month the university was co-sponsor, with the united Nations High COmmissioner for Befugees and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UN15CO) , of the Symposium on the Promotion, Dissemination and Teaching of Fundamental Human Rights of Befugees at th~ 'lbkyo Centre.

20. Fbllowing a Task Pbrce meeting in March 1982, three initial research projects were drawn up covering the following fields'

(a) Natural resources and the new international economic order;

(b) Security, vUlnerability and violence,

(c) Human rights in a changing pluralistic world.

Theme II. Global economy

21. The specific rationale for the uniVersity's adot*-ion of this as a separate theme is the need for newinstitutiona1 response to a number of questions on which the university has already conducted, and will conduct, research, e.g., energy and resource problems, food distribution patterns, and appropriate choice of technology.

Theme Ill. Hunger, poverty, resources and the environment

22. The work under this theme has broadened the University's earlier work on world hunger and the use and management of natural resources. In October 1981 the research results of the project on Protein-Energy Requirements were made available to the international community at a joint consultative meeting with the World Health Organization and the Pbod and AgriCUlture Organization of the united Nations. Research findings and discussion of other relevant issues were,reported in the Jibod and 111 tr i tion Bulletin, now in its fourth volume and distributed to some 5,000 institutions and individuals around the world.

23. By 31 December 1981, 154 regular and special fellows had completed training, and in the six months following 89 fellows were undergoing training. Proceedings of ~Hree workshops held duri~g the year under ,review are to be published. They are "Pbocf as a Human Right" (N:)rway, OCtober 1981), "Interfaces of Agriculture, Ebod . Science' and ll1trition" (India, November 1981), and "Evaluation Methodologies for ll1tritional Effects of Development PrograJlUlles" (USA, September 1981). '!be subprogramme has pla~ned five new research projects:

(a) ,AgriCUltural policies and nutrition,

(b) EConomic and social consequences of chronic dietary energy deficiency, , (c) Functional consequences of iron deficiency, 1 (d) Energy in the IXlst-harvest system,

(e) Assessmen t and nodernization of traditional food technology.

-6- The initial activities in the area of natural resources have been reformulated under two subprograrrunes: one on resource policy and management, the second on energy systems and policy. The focus of the subprogranune on resource policy and management is on four different resource systems: (a) agro-forestry systems, (b) highland-lowland interactive systems, (c) coastal resources management, and (d) water-level interactive systems.

24. The subprogramme on energy systems and policy continued its work on the rural energy system and with its network of some 1,000 scientists, engineers and decision-makers in the third world involved in its publication ASSET (Abstracts of selected Solar Energy 'lechnology). Rural energy systems projec~e now under way in five countries. A blueprint for an entire village in Algeria has been completed with designs for four prototype homes using passive solar energy. A project in Nigeria centres on alternatives to, or !OOre efficient uses of, fuelwood for household needs. A Rural Energy Research Centre is being established at Dodoma. In India, the acceptability of the various components used in an integrated rural food-energy system project is now being tested and measurements of their economic, social and cultural impact are being made. The project won the Bajaj award in 1981.

25. A new project on energy planning is being launched to do research and develop curricula for training. Another new project on energy research and technology assessment plans to establish a consultative and monitoring review group to assess and evaluate new energy technology and its applicability. Plans also call for expanding ASSET to include, in co-operation with UNESCO, a special section on united Nations activities and publications on new and renewable sources of energy.

Theme IV. Human and social development and coexistence of peoples, cultures, and social systems

26. The university had already begun to address some of the problems embraced by this theme dur ing the first stages of its study of the human and social development problematique, in particular in the projects on the Goals, Processes and Indicators of Development, and Socio-cultural Development Alternatives in a Changing World. These two projects have been moving towards their concluding phases during the year under review, while other activities of the subprograrnme have been laying the groundwork for new projects. '!Wo potential subprograrnmes are being explored) one concerned with Cultures and world Development, the other with Household, Gender and 1lge.

27. During the year under review the activities of the project on Goals, Processes and Indicators of Development were aimed at tightening the focus of its subprojects, integrating and co-ordinating the whole project, and preparing the project's final outputs. The project, among other things, has succeeded in defining the theoretical framework for approaching large-scale social organizatipn and management from the standpoint of human development. The project Socio-cultural Development Alternatives in a Changing World has been attemptin1 to provide a forum for researchers from different cultures and schools of thought to analyse critically the socio-cultural and civilizational factors involved in ~e historical process of transformation the world is now undergoing.

28. The subprogramrne also proceeded with its work on the series of regional projects designed to improve understanding of trends and perspectives in the major regions of the world. The Arab Alternative FUtures project held two steering conunittee meetings. A book on "Images of the Arab :future" was published in Arabic

-7- i,

and is now being translated inbo English. A proposed new regional project deals with Asian Perspectivess An Analysis of Socio~ultural, Political and Ebonomic Subregions. This project aims at strengthening interregional institutions and research collaboration in Asia. The Latin American Perspective Project held a seminar devoted bo the theme "Non-intervention, self-determination and Derrocracy in Latin ~ericaft. A book will be published in Spanish. Two other new projects are envisioned under this subprogrammes Management Issues in International Development and Comparison of Developnent lobdels.

Theme V. SCience and technology and their social and ethical implications

29. One existing subprogramme and two exploratory activities are now focused on the issues embraced by this theme. The Sharing of Traditional Technology project focused on the role of technology in selected Asian countries to determine whether or not the sharing of traditional technologies might 'improve t:he immediate living standards of the rural p:x>r. '!he project has developed a network of researchers attached to a variety of institutions in Sri Lanka, Thailand, Nepal, Indonesia, Malaysia, Japan and China. '!he project on Hesearch and Developnent in Rural settings has studied how I1Pdern research and development systems might be integrated with the experience and knowledge of traditional societies to tackle the technological problems of rural development. It has research units in China, Ethiopia, the 'Philippines and Mexico, where work is now entering the final stages of field activities.

30. The project entitled The Japanese Experiences Transfer, Transformation and Development of ~chnology has been stUdying the interrelationships between endogenous and foreign technology during Japan's process of mOdernization. In its concluding Plase, during the year under review, the focus has been on the software aspects of modern technology, such as labour organization, government policies, working conditions and financial practices. During the same period the project also conducted comparative research in the Brazilian and Malaysia cases of technology transferred from Japan.

v. STAFFING

31. As part of the ,implementation of the Medium-Term Perspective a number of new appointments were made during the year.

32. Mr. Fdward Ploman was named Vice-Rector of the Global learning Division and Mr. Migue1 Urrutia was named Vice-Hector of the Development Studies Division. Both assumed 'their apr;:ointments in January 1982. Mr. Kinhide Mushakoji, former Vice-Rector, Human and Social Development Programme, was named Vice-Hector of the Regional and Global Studies Division. Mr. Alexander A. Kwapong, former Vice-Rector for Planning and Development, was named Vice-Hector for Institut10nal Planning and Resource Development.

33. Fbur part-time programme directors were appointed: Mr. Rajni ~thari, Mr. Maurice levy, Mr. Walther Manshard (former Vice-Hector, Progranune on the use and Management of Na tural He sources) and Mr. Nevin S. SCr imshaw (former 8enior Adviser to the Nector, WOrld Hunger programme).

34. Mr. Janusz W. Gblebiowski and Mr. H. A. B. Parpia were appointed senior Programme Officers.

-8- VI. INSTITUTIONAL DEVEOOPMEN'l' AR> PUND-RAISING

35. In adopting the Medium-Term Perspective, the Council of the Uliversity continued to em}ilas ize the close relationship between fund-raising and programme and institutional developnent. OVer the medium term the tbiversity needs to build up its Endowment EUnd and related operating contributions in order to increase its core income from same Sus 15 million in 1982 to about 'US 28 million in 1987. In addition, the University has increasingly to seek financial resources such as special earmar ked capital contributions for long-term financial oommitments or agreements in support of major projects.

36. respite a renewed interest in the Uliveuity1s work which the Medium-Term perspective has aroused among Governments and scientific communities, there has been no major increase of the Uliversity's financial resources. During the period 1 July 1981 to 30 June 1982, SUS 8.6 million was pledged and/or contributed to the university by 19 Governments. The Q)vernments of !ll3ypt and of Trinidad and !lbbago made their first contributions. 'lbe Government of Sweden resumed its payments to the Operating Fund. By 30 June 1982 pledges to the Endowment J1\,md and ~rating EUnd from 37 Governments totalled SUS 145.1 million, of which SUS 119.9 million h.;td been received.

37. A number of Q)verntnents, institutions and others have made indirect contributions in cash and in kind to the work of the adversity. SUpport to associated institutions, research and training units, and other participants in the networks has also helped to obtain extra funds for these activities from Governments and other sources where they are taking plaoe.

38. The COuncil meeting in Abu rbabi, in late Ml'IeJlt)er 1981, provided an opportunity for the university to exchange views on its work with government and academic leaders in a nurrber of Arab Gulf countries. Ibllow-up visits were made in the region in early 1982, and one imp:>rtant out(X)me was the decision in March 1982 by the twelfth conference of the COuncil of Min istries of Health for the Arab countr ies of the Gulf region to undertake a feasibility study on the proposal made jointly by the tmiversityand the tbited Nations O1ildren l s Fund to establish a legional Fbod and N.ltr ition Centre in the Arab Gulf.

39. Since July 1981 the possibility of establishing an Institute for Natural Resources in Africa has been actively explored, and the Council has now accepted a recommendation proIXlsing a feasibility study on the establishment of an incorporated institution in Afr iea for this purpose. Activities in Latin America and the Caribbean region centred chiefly on consultation with Venezuela concerning the invitation to the UniversIty to bring its world-wide working relations to bear on the development of the International Institute for Advanced Studies, particularly in the fields of science and teohnolOCJY. Exploration on the proposed International Economic Policy Research Institute also continued, and the COuncil received the rep:>rt of a meeting of leading economists oonvened by the tmiversity a t the IDndon School of Economics and Pal!tieal SCience. 'lbe Council agreed that the university should continue its exploratory work in this regard.

-9- VII. COLLABORATION WITH INTERNATIONAL, EDUCATIONAL AND SCIENTIFIC ORGANIZATIONS

40. At its eighteenth session, the COuncil agreed that high priority should be given to collaboration with international, educational and scientific organizations. It felt that an important issue in deciding on priorities was choice of the appropriate moment to enter into collaborative relationships with other institutions to derive the maximum benefit.

VIII. PERMANENT SITE FOR THE UNIVERSITY'S HEADQUARTERS

41. In November 19B1 the dedication cere~ny for the site of the university's permanent headquarters in central ~kyo was held following a decision on its selection by the Japanese Ministry of mducation. The plot of land in the h:>yama area of Shibuya Ward, of approximately 18,600 squ~re metres, was made available by the city of ~kyo, and the Coun~il has duly recorded its most sincere appreciation of this generous benefaction. It has been estimated that the cost of the plot, which is being offered gratis for use. by the university, will be approximately $US 150 million. •

IX. EVALUATION OF THE UNIVERSITY AND ITS WORK

42. At its eighteenth session, the Council approved the establishment of a Planning and Evaluation unit in 'the university in 1982, and the setting up in 1982 of the mechanism of the external evaluation of the university's development. The Council has always emphasized the importance of maintaining external evaluation, and at the eighteenth session stressed the point that such evaluation should not be confined to the university's programmes at the macro level, but should include also evaluation at the micro level, e.g., of individual projects.

x. REPORT OF THE JOINT INSPECTION UNIT

43. In response to the specific request of the Secretary-General, opportunity is taken in this report to comment on the observations of the Joint Inspection unit in its "Report on the United Nations university" (A/37/11l, dated 11 March 1982).

44. The report of the ~oint Inspection Unit was discussed by the Council at its ninetee~th session. The Council welcomed the report, which was generally positive in its attitude towards the University and supportive of the new direction and broader intellectual concerns as embodied in its Medium-Term Perspective, 1982-1987. Its general con?lusion that the over-all structure of the University is sound is encouraging and has important implications for the future of the University.

45. At the same time, there are limitations in the report on which the Council wishes to comment. The Inspectors themselves admit that "their report deals mainly with form and procedures rather than content" (A/37/lll, para. 4). Given the time and resources available to them, they could hardly have dealt with much of substance of the University's programmes or evaluated the performance of the scholars and institutions forming its networks. Nevertheless, the Inspectors make remarks'on the quality of the University's scientific work and value judgement on the collective wisdom and approaches of the Council (~., para. 16) based on the

-10-

/ one Council session which they attended. This judgement suggests an insufficient understanding of the fundamental nature of the Uliversity as an -international oonununity of scholars" reflecting the world's diversity and pluralism in cultures, languages, schools of thought, and social systems whose' autonomy and academic freedom are guaranteed in the tniversity's Charter.

46. As members of that international oomrnunity, and as members of the t.l'1iversity's governing board, Council menbers do reflect and express varied viewpoints and opinions in the oourse of their deliberations and in reaching a consensus as the basis for decisions.

47. It needs to be emphasized that, in the final analysis, the Council is in the best position Ultimately to evaluate the scientific work of the university with the help of scholarly peer reviews and assessments made through expert external evaluation.

48. In a more specific vein, the Council wishes to reoordits observations on reoonunendations 2, 3, 11 and 15 of the ,Joint Inspection tbit as follows.

49. The Council oonsiders, in regard to reoonunendation 2, that in the foreseeable future it is in the interest of the University that it should meet twice a year.

50. HecoJlDllendation 3 proposes that there should be only one Vioe";'Rector (at the Assistant secretary-General level) and the present Vioe-~ctors should beoome Progr amme Directors. The Council supports the Rector's preference for maintaining for the time being the present structure which is required for, the collegiality in the direction and co-ordination of the diverse, multidisciplinary and multidimen­ siona1 nature of the university's work.

51. In regard to recommendation 11, the al.iversity is paying special attention to appropriate dissemination of the results of its research, as well as to varied and effective means for sharing knowledge and disseminating information.

52. Finally, in regard to reoommendation 15, the tl'1iversity intends to continue and increase its co-operative activities with Ulited Nations research and training institutions such as the Ulited Nations Institute for Training and Research and the united Nations- Institute for Disarmament Research, and with the lllited Nations Development Progranme.
