The Commission benefited in its consideration of this item from the participation of representatives of ANC, PAC, NOSC, NOCSA and SACOS. 22. There was consensus among the participants that important changes had taken place in, the last two years, both inside South Africa as well as in the world. Many of those developments were positive. Among those developments, some pillar laws, which had bolstered the abhorrent system of apartheid, had been abrogated in 1991, although the apartheid constitution of the country was yet to be abolished. Some political prisoners in South Africa had been released, and more were expected to be released by 15 November 1992. As far as sports were concerned, there was a strong, if not uniform, movement towards the integration

  • Lessons from Multilateral Envoys GLOBAL PEACE OPERATIONS REVIEW
    Global Peace Operations Review Lessons from Multilateral Envoys GLOBAL PEACE OPERATIONS REVIEW The Global Peace Operations Review is an interactive web-portal presenting in-depth analysis and detailed data on military peacekeeping operations and civilian-led political missions by the United Nations, regional organizations, and ad-hoc coalitions. The web-portal is a product of the New York University Center on International Cooperation (CIC) and a continuation of its long- standing print publications the Annual Review of Global Peace Operations and the Review of Political Missions. Providing the most comprehensive overview of multilateral contributions to peacekeeping, conflict prevention, and post- conflict peacebuilding, the Review aims to initiate and inform discussions on the comparative advantages and appropriateness of different missions, and through constructive analysis to further strengthen existing partnerships necessary for them to succeed. Through the Country & Regional Profile pages, the Review provides background information and regularly updated key developments on peace operations and the contexts in which they operate. The analysis is further enhanced by the provision of detailed data on each of the UN’s peace operations, and headline data on missions fielded by regional organizations and ad hoc missions, which can be accessed in full through the Data & Trends section. Data on non-UN peace operations was compiled by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI). For more details, please see our Data guide. The Strategic Summary provides an overview of main developments in mission settings over the past year and presents analysis on trends and the impact these may have on shaping peace operations of the future.

INTRODUCCIÓN 1. El presente informe, que abarca los acontecimientos relacionados con el proceso de reconciliación política, la misión humanitaria, la situación de seguridad y el fortalecimiento institucional en Somalia, se presenta al Consejo de Seguridad de conformidad con el párrafo 2 de la resolución 923 de 31 de mayo de 1994. 2. Mi Representante Especial para Somalia, el Sr. James Victor Gbeho de Ghana llegó a Somalia el 1º de julio de 1994. El Representante Especial Adjunto saliente, Sr. Lansana Kouyate, permanecerá en Somalia hasta fines de julio de 1994 a fin de asegurar un traspaso armonioso de responsabilidades. II. LA MISIÓN HUMANITARIA 3. Continúan los progresos hacia el logro de los objetivos de superar la fase de emergencia y pasar a la fase de recuperación, mejorando a tal efecto la situación de los grupos más vulnerables, en particular de las mujeres y los niños, y tratando de encontrar soluciones duraderas al problema de los refugiados y de las personas desplazadas en el interior de país. Pero estos progresos en el frente humanitario siguen siendo sumamente frágiles, habida cuenta de la inseguridad continua y de la falta de una capacidad nacional estructurada para ocuparse eficazmente del bienestar de los sectores vulnerables de población y hacer frente a los desastres naturales o artificiales.

    UNITED NATIONS S Security Council Distr. GENERAL S/1994/839 18 July 1994 ORIGINAL: ENGLISH FURTHER REPORT OF THE SECRETARY-GENERAL ON THE UNITED NATIONS OPERATION IN SOMALIA SUBMITTED IN PURSUANCE OF PARAGRAPH 2 OF SECURITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION 923 (1994) I. INTRODUCTION 1. The present report, which covers developments relating to the political reconciliation process, the humanitarian mission, the security situation and institution-building in Somalia, is submitted to the Security Council in pursuance of paragraph 2 of resolution 923 of 31 May 1994. 2. My new Special Representative for Somalia, Mr. James Victor Gbeho of Ghana, arrived in Somalia on 1 July 1994. The outgoing Acting Special Representative, Mr. Lansana Kouyate, will stay on in Somalia until the end of July 1994 in order to ensure a smooth hand-over of responsibilities. II. THE HUMANITARIAN MISSION 3. Progress continues to be made towards the objectives of overcoming the emergency requirement and moving into the recovery phase by improving the situation of the most vulnerable, particularly women and children, and finding lasting solutions to the plight of the refugees and the internally displaced persons. But these gains on the humanitarian front remain extremely fragile in the face of continuing insecurity and in the absence of a structured indigenous capacity to deal effectively with the welfare of the vulnerable segments of the population and to cope with natural or man-made disasters. 4. The Division for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs of the United Nations Operation in Somalia (UNOSOM II) has continued to provide services of coordination, information and logistical support to the humanitarian community, while pursuing its efforts to assist in the resettlement of the internally displaced persons and promoting the implementation of small-scale community projects in priority geographical areas and sectors where operational agencies are absent.
