Sida's Support to United Nations Organisations PORTFOLIO OVERVIEW 2020 Sida’s support to United Nations Organisations In 2019, United Nations (UN) organisations together received SEK 8.7 billion from Sida, a third of Sida’s overall development cooperation budget. Sida’s cooperation with the UN organisations has increased significantly over the past decade. The UN organisations are important partners in development work as well as in humanitarian assistance. The main partners to Sida within the UN are UNDP, UNICEF, UNFPA, UNOCHA, WFP, UN Women, FAO and UNHCR.

Can’t Wait to Learn programme. Expression of thanks The year 2020 was truly unprecedented for children around the world. The commitment of UNICEF’s resource partners allowed millions of children to continue to learn, grow and develop with the support of UNICEF programming. UNICEF funds come entirely from voluntary contributions. We take this opportunity to thank the millions of people, including our government partners, civil society and the private sector, who contributed to UNICEF’s funds this year. Without your support, our work would not have been possible. Your contributions have a wide impact and allow us to deliver on our mandate to advocate for the protection of children’s rights, to help meet their basic needs, and to expand their opportunities to reach their full potential. We also extend special and warm thanks to our partners who contributed to UNICEF’s thematic funding. Thematic funding was critical this year and will continue to be an essential tool that allows UNICEF the flexibility and predictability to deliver technical, operational and programming support to children across the world. By entrusting us with this funding, you have made many of the results in this report possible and have furthered our mandate to reach the most vulnerable children.

  • The UN Mission in Congo and the Basic Principles of Peacekeeping
    FACULTY OF LAW Stockholm University The UN Mission in Congo and the Basic Principles of Peacekeeping - Revolution or Evolution? Dag Nyström Thesis in Public International Law, 30 HE credits Examiner: David Fisher Stockholm, Spring term 2015 0 Abstract In the absence of a legal basis for peacekeeping operations, the concept has had to evolve from SC practice. This has allowed for the system of collective security to survive the blocking if the Security Council by its permanent members and also permitted for a dynamic approach, facilitating an adequate response to the ever-changing threats to international peace and security. To balance the Member States’ sovereignty and the organisation’s supranational powers, SC practice and doctrine have developed three basic principles of peacekeeping: impartiality, consent and minimum use of force. Since 2013, the UN mission to the Congo, MONUSCO, has been authorised by the SC to use aggressive force against certain rebel groups. This work examines the basic principles as they appear in resolutions and doctrine, and compares them with the mandate of MONUSCO as expressed in SC resolutions. It is concluded that the new SC practice marks a deviation from all three principles. The thesis also finds that it remains to be seen whether the UN mission to the DRC, despite the denial of the organisation itself, will serve as a precedent for future peacekeeping operations. Keywords Force Intervention Brigade – peacekeeping – United Nations – Congo – MONUSCO – use of force – impartiality – consent 1 Abbreviations
