I am very glad to have with me today my Special Representative in Cyprus, Mr. Luis Weckmann Munoz. The report to the Security Council is self-explanatory. It does not make any recommendations concerning the mandate of UNFICYP since this clearly will depend on the shape of future political settlements. Nonetheless, the functions of UNFICYP in the present situation are described in some detail, together with the difficulties encountered. As regards the future strength of UNFICYP, I have alluded to this problem in paragraph 82 of my report, and shall maintain close contact with the troop contributing countries as regards possible reductions... Obviously, it is important from the political point of view to maintain UNFICYP at an adequate strength. On the other hand, \ j. the financial situation is difficult and I do not wish to keep the strength of UNFICYP at a higher level than is required for its functions. Since the issuance of the report, there have been further encouraging signs of a more positive attitude to UNFICYP in Cyprus itself, especially by the Turkish fcs*^»-^xt^^N^r^;^^ military authorities. As you know, President Makarios - 2 - has just returned to Cyprus and we are awaiting developments in the political field which will, it is to be hoped, bring us nearer to the ngjg.Qj^ta.y.ons of a settlement.

Before asking Mr. Davidson (Mr. Ziehl) to give a brief description of the financial situation, I wish to take this opportunity to express again my deep appreciation of the j2A^f ^v spiisdicti-et support which the troop contributing countries have given to the United Nations operation in Cyprus during the very difficult period since July. <; •*- cc: SecGen * GLS/pmw \ Mr. C.V. Narasimhan UN High Coiran. for Refugees Mr. Weckinann-Munoz Lt.Gen. Prem Chand OUSGSPA 7 December 1974 Sir,. -. I have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your letter of 21 November 1974 transmitting a communication dated 12 October which you received from a number of Greek Cypriot Employers* and Workers1 organizations. 1 have given careful consideration to both communications* I have noted your view that some of the action proposed by the signatories of the communication from the Greek Cypriot organizations falls outside the competence of the International Labour Organisation, and I agree with you that probably none of the proposals can be divorced from the over-all political settlement of the Cyprus problem, in which the United Nations has a key role to play. In this connexion, I wish to draw your attention to the attached resolutions of the Security Council and the General Assembly on the Cyprus question. In particular it would seem that Security Council resolutions 353 (1974) of 20 July and 360 (1974) of 16 August, as well as <3eneral Assembly resolution 3212 (XXXX) of 1 November, contain provisions relevant to the request in paragraph 3 of the communication from the Greek Cypriot organi2ations. Concerning th© proposal in paragraph 6 of that communication, it is manifest that the proposed "joint Greek Cypriot - Turkish Cypriot Committee of Employers* and Workers' representatives" under the chairmanship of a senior official of the ILO can only be established with the agreement of those concerned, which in the present circumstances may not be easy to achieve. I would also observe that most of the A.. Mr. P. Blanchard Director-General International Labour Office Geneva, Switzerland - 2 - subjects proposed for action by that committee are being dealt with by Acting President derides and Vice- President Benktash in their current talks on humanitarian and other problems. In this connexion, I refer to Chapters I2C-X of my report to the Security Council on the United Nations operation in Cyprus for the current siK-month period, a copy of which is attached (S/11568). I have transmitted a copy of your letter and its enclosures to Mr. Luis Weokmann-Munoa, my Special Representative in Cyprus, who has attended all the talks between Mr. derides and Mr. Denktash. Jfc» Wackmann-Munoa will be in a position to bring to the attention of the leaders of the two communities the substance of the proposal in paragraph 6 of the coseminicsation from the Greek Cypriot organisations, your comment about the potentially valuable contribution which the Employers* and Workers' organizations could make, and the views of the Officers and the Governing Body of the II»0 contained in the third paragraph of your letter. I shall not fail to inform you of the outcome of these approaches. I am forwarding a copy of this letter to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, whose representative in Nicosia, as you may know, also regularly attends the talks between Mr. derides and Mr. Denktash, Yours sincerely. Kurt Waldheim Secretary-General cc: HICOMREF, yS&mig&S. Geneva CONFIDENTIAL- Meeting between the Permanent Representative of Turkey and the Secretary-General on 30 November 1974 Present: Ambassador Olcay Aide ** The Secretary-General Roberto E. Guyer Ambassador Olcay said that Ankara was very worried about the forthcoming report on UNFICYP. They begged the Secretary- General not to use the expression "Government of Cyprus" when referring to the Greek Cypriotes. They would make an issue out of any affirmation which now referred in that way to what was traditionally considered to be the Cyprus Government. For them, Archbishop Makarios or Clerides were merely the leaders of the Greek Cypriote community. The Secretary-General replied that he was trying to make the report as factual and non-controversial as possible. He would limit references to the "Government of Cyprus" as much as possible, but it will have to be used a couple of times since even the Security Council has recognized Archbishop Makarios as the legal president of that country. With respect to the renewal of UNFICYP, instead of using the formula "the Governments of Cyprus, Greece and Turkey" he would employ a new formula, "the parties concerned". Ambassador Olcay accepted this suggestion. Ambassador Olcay then gave a long exposition of the Turkish position and the necessity of establishing a new set of rules for Cyprus. He also voiced his worries about the consequences of Makarios1 return to Cyprus. The Secretary-General expressed his concern over the rumours that Turkey was about to engage in a third round of military activities in the Island. The Ambassador replied that he was aware that Denktash was intimating this possibility, but that was definitely not Ankara's position. Nevertheless, he would convey the Secretary-Generalfs preoccupation to his Government. - 2 - On 2 December, at 17OO hours, Ambassador Olcay spoke with Guyer and told him that the formula "all parties concerned" was not acceptable to his side, and that it had to be spelled out that the Turkish Cypriotes had been specifically consulted. Guyer replied that the Secretary- General had already gone a long way in proposing the agreed formula. Both Olcay and Guyer agreed to stay in contact on this matter. * V, INTERNATIONAL LABOUR OFFICE ^i^^ BUREAU INTERNATIONAL DU TRAVAIL GENEVE THE DIRECTOR GENERAL UE DIRECTEUR GENERAL Sir, I have the honour to inform you that, on 23 October 1974» I received a communication from a number of Greek Cypriot Employers' and Workers' organisations, including the Employers' and Workers' delegates of Cyprus to the last session (June 1974) of the Inter- national Labour Conference. As you may observe from this communication - a copy of which is attached - the International Labour Organisation is requested to intervene with the Turkish Government to withdraw its troops from Cyprus. It is also proposed that a joint Greek-Cypriot-Turkish-Cypriot Committee of Employers' and Workers' representatives be established, under the chairmanship of a senior ILO official, to work towards the various aspects of the restoration of peace and normality. Some of the action proposed by the signatories of the above- mentioned communication falls outside the competence of the International Labour Organisation, and probably none of the proposals can be divorced from the over-all political settlement of the Cyprus crisis in which the United Hations has a key role to play. On the other hand, the communication draws attention to the contribution to peace which could be made by non-governmental bodies, in particular by Employers' and Workers' organisations, and I am conscious of the potentially valuable contribution which positive action by these organisations could make.

  • United Nations Force Headquarters Handbook
    United Nations Force Headquarters Handbook UNITED NATIONS FORCE HEADQUARTERS HANDBOOK November 2014 United Nations Force Headquarters Handbook Foreword The United Nations Force Headquarters Handbook aims at providing information that will contribute to the understanding of the functioning of the Force HQ in a United Nations field mission to include organization, management and working of Military Component activities in the field. The information contained in this Handbook will be of particular interest to the Head of Military Component I Force Commander, Deputy Force Commander and Force Chief of Staff. The information, however, would also be of value to all military staff in the Force Headquarters as well as providing greater awareness to the Mission Leadership Team on the organization, role and responsibilities of a Force Headquarters. Furthermore, it will facilitate systematic military planning and appropriate selection of the commanders and staff by the Department of Peacekeeping Operations. Since the launching of the first United Nations peacekeeping operations, we have collectively and systematically gained peacekeeping expertise through lessons learnt and best practices of our peacekeepers. It is important that these experiences are harnessed for the benefit of current and future generation of peacekeepers in providing appropriate and clear guidance for effective conduct of peacekeeping operations. Peacekeeping operations have evolved to adapt and adjust to hostile environments, emergence of asymmetric threats and complex operational challenges that require a concerted multidimensional approach and credible response mechanisms to keep the peace process on track. The Military Component, as a main stay of a United Nations peacekeeping mission plays a vital and pivotal role in protecting, preserving and facilitating a safe, secure and stable environment for all other components and stakeholders to function effectively.

  • Summary of AG-011 United Nations Executive Office of the Secretary-General (EOSG) (1946-Present)
    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.

Military medals are bestowed in recognition of specific acts or service which can vary in significance from routine duty to bravery and valour. Irrespective of their provenance, military medals are highly valued and are regarded as representing all that is best in the field of human endeavour. They are seen as being earned and merited by the recipient and in the Defence Forces this sense of worth is enhanced by the strict conditions attaching to the awards. Medals in the Defence Forces fall into two broad categories: medals awarded by the Minister for Defence on the recommendation of the Chief of Staff and medals awarded to qualifying personnel for service overseas on Government approved missions. The first category comprises the Military Medal for Gallantry and the Distinguished Service Medal, which can be awarded for acts of bravery, gallantry, courage, leadership or devotion to duty and the Military Star, a posthumous decoration awardable to personnel killed as a direct result of hostile action. These medals may only be awarded following rigorous investigation by a board of officers appointed by the Chief of Staff. Also in this category are the Service Medal, which recognises service in the Defence Forces for a minimum fixed period and the United Nations Peacekeepers Medal, which recognises service overseas with a UN mandated mission.
