I am pleased to speak on behalf of the following group of UN specialized agencies: the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the International Labour Organization (ILO), the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and the World Health Organization (WHO). Our agencies are active members in the United Nations Development Group (UNDG) and have participated with great interest and commitment in the UNDG discussions in relation to the ECOSOC Dialogue on the longer-term positioning of the United Nations Development System. As we approach the end of the ECOSOC Dialogue and the beginning of the QCPR negotiations, specialized agencies would like to reiterate our strong commitment to a UNDS that works together in a coherent, efficient and integrated manner to support the needs of Member States. Our agencies have understood very well the message that “business as usual is not an option” and have been working within our individual governance structures to ensure that our memberships are informed and consulted on the implications of the 2030 Agenda and challenges ahead for the UNDS. As mandated by our Governing Bodies, we have already taken measures to mainstream the SDGs in our respective programmes and budgets and to maximize our contribution to the delivery of the 2030 Agenda.

  • Part 2: Reform of the United Nations
    Part 2 Reform of the United Nations Reform of the United Nations During 1999, UN Secretary General Annan continued to move forward with his program of administrative and budgetary reforms. The 2000– 2001 UN budget came in at virtually the same level as the initial budget approved for the previous biennium, 1998–1999; administrative overhead costs were steadily reduced; and the Office of Internal Oversight Services identified millions of dollars in cost savings. Many of the Secretary General’s “Track One” and “Track Two” reforms were implemented, improving the efficiency of UN activities in the areas of development, humanitarian relief, human rights, and peace- keeping. By the end of 1999, however, the General Assembly had not yet acted on some other recommendations put forward by the Secretary Gen- eral that are priorities for the United States: results–based budgeting, which uses performance indicators to assess progress toward specific objectives, and sunset provisions for new UN programs. The United States continues to press for implementation of these measures. Apart from these efforts, discussions continued on reforming peace- keeping operations and possibly expanding the Security Council to 20 or 21 members, including permanent seats for Germany and Japan. Secretary General’s Reform Initiatives UN Secretary General Kofi Annan incorporated many U.S. ideas on improving UN economic and social institutions, activities, and programs into his two 1997 reform packages (“Track One” and “Track Two” reforms). The United States worked to generate member state support for their prompt implementation. In December 1997, the General Assembly adopted the Track One measures and most of the Track Two recommenda- tions by consensus.

  • Playing with Fire. the Muslim Brotherhood and the Egyptian
    Playing with Fire.The Muslim Brotherhood and the Egyptian Leviathan Daniela Pioppi After the fall of Mubarak, the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) decided to act as a stabilising force, to abandon the street and to lend democratic legiti- macy to the political process designed by the army. The outcome of this strategy was that the MB was first ‘burned’ politically and then harshly repressed after having exhausted its stabilising role. The main mistakes the Brothers made were, first, to turn their back on several opportunities to spearhead the revolt by leading popular forces and, second, to keep their strategy for change gradualist and conservative, seeking compromises with parts of the former regime even though the turmoil and expectations in the country required a much bolder strategy. Keywords: Egypt, Muslim Brotherhood, Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, Arab Spring This article aims to analyse and evaluate the post-Mubarak politics of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) in an attempt to explain its swift political parable from the heights of power to one of the worst waves of repression in the movement’s history. In order to do so, the analysis will start with the period before the ‘25th of January Revolution’. This is because current events cannot be correctly under- stood without moving beyond formal politics to the structural evolution of the Egyptian system of power before and after the 2011 uprising. In the second and third parts of this article, Egypt’s still unfinished ‘post-revolutionary’ political tran- sition is then examined. It is divided into two parts: 1) the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF)-led phase from February 2011 up to the presidential elections in summer 2012; and 2) the MB-led phase that ended with the military takeover in July 2013 and the ensuing violent crackdown on the Brotherhood.
