  • Threats and Challenges
    chapter 3 Threats and Challenges The United Nations has used a broad range of approaches and methods to provide alerts of threats and challenges to the security and welfare of hu- manity including the use of un organs for discussion of potential threats, the presentation of analyses and alerts by the un Secretary-General, the adop- tion of policies and norms, the preventive diplomacy of the un Secretary- General, and the organization of the un Secretariat for early warning and prevention. i Secretary-General Pérez de Cuéllar’s Comprehensive Prevention Strategies and His Case for a Comprehensive Global Watch over Environmental, Economic, Social, Political and Other Factors Affecting International Security Historically, un Secretaries-General have sought to play a role in helping the Organization detect and head off threats and challenges. The first Secretary- General, Trygve Lie, submitted a Ten-point plan to energise the Organization. It was politely received and then ignored. Dag Hammarskjold saw the United Nations as a body that could help advance the development of the developing countries and he helped shape the concepts of conflict prevention and peace- keeping. U Thant sought to develop the role of the United Nations in dealing with humanitarian crises. Kurt Waldheim was a diplomatic helmsman as was Javier Perez de Cuellar. Perez de Cuellar did, however, press hard to develop the capacity of the United Nations for conflict prevention. This was continued by Boutros Boutros-Ghali, whose Agenda for Peace, submitted at the request of the Security Council, sought to mobilise the forces of the Organization for conflict prevention.

  • Tarja Halonen: “Toward a Fair Globalization: a Finnish Perspective”
    Free for publication on 22 October 2004 at 14h00 local time CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF FINLAND TARJA HALONEN: “TOWARD A FAIR GLOBALIZATION: A FINNISH PERSPECTIVE” U THANT DISTINGUISHED LECTURE AT THE UNITED NATIONS UNIVERSITY IN TOKYO OCTOBER 22, 2004 It is a great honour and pleasure for me to give the U Thant Distinguished Lecture here at the United Nations University and celebrate at the same time the United Nations Day. I would like to thank the United Nations University for the excellent work you have done throughout the years. Your contribution to resolve global problems is highly valued. I also would like to thank the Government of Japan for its active participation in the multilateral co-operation and for its generous contribution for the United Nations University. * * * There is a growing understanding of the deep interdependence of security, development, social justice and environmental sustainability. This has been displayed in several recent political commitments within the United Nations: the Millennium Declaration, the Monterrey Consensus on Financing for Development and the Johannesburg Declaration on Sustainable Development. In addition commitments have been made also in other international fora. These are historical global commitments. I even said in this year’s general debate at the United Nations that the Millennium Declaration is by far the most comprehensive and farsighted political commitment ever agreed upon by the United Nations. We now need to turn these commitments into reality, in the spirit of solidarity and within the frames of limited resources of the world. In the Millennium Declaration we challenge ourselves to ensure that globalization becomes a positive force for all the world’s people.

  • 1 THANT, U, Burmese Diplomat, Second Acting Secretary-General Of
    1 THANT, U, Burmese diplomat, second Acting Secretary-General of the United Nations (UN) 1961-1962 and third Secretary-General 1962-1971, was born 28 January 1909 in Pantanaw, Burma (now Myanmar) and died 25 November 1974 in New York City, United States. He was the son of U Po Hnit, landowner and rice merchant, and Daw Nan Thaung. On 14 November 1934 he married Daw Thein Tin, with whom he had a daughter, two sons and a foster son. Pen name in Burma: Thilawa. Source: https://research.un.org/en/docs/secretariat/sg/thant Thant was born in the Irriwaday delta region in southwest Burma. His father was a landowner of comfortable means and a partner with Thant’s great uncle in a rice mill established by Thant’s paternal grandfather. His mother, a deeply religious woman, imbued Thant with a lifelong devotion to Buddhist spirituality and meditation. His father, the only person in Pantanaw who could read and write English, kindled in him an early interest in English literature. By the age of twelve Thant was reading works in English by authors such as William Shakespeare and Arthur Conan Doyle. Determined to pursue a career in journalism, he published the first of many English-language articles to appear in Burmese publications one year after he entered Pantanaw National High School. His father died in 1923 when Thant was fourteen. Because an avaricious relative swindled his mother out of the anticipated family inheritance, Thant, the oldest of four brothers, was thrust into a position of family responsibility. Instead of completing a four-year degree at Rangoon University, Thant decided to pursue an intermediate, two-year degree that would qualify him for licensure as a teacher and allow him to support his brothers’ higher education.

    The Economic Club of New York Some Major Issues before the United Nations _______________________________ His Excellency U Thant Secretary-General, United Nations _______________________________ March 5, 1963 Waldorf-Astoria New York City The Economic Club of New York – His Excellency U Thant – March 5, 1963 Page 1 His Excellency U Thant Secretary-General, United Nations I certainly feel it a privilege to have this opportunity of addressing the Economic Club of New York and I am most grateful to this important organization for the opportunity thus afforded to me. The subject of my talk today is “Some Major Issues before the United Nations.” It is obviously a topic of very wide range and interest, and it will be hardly possible for anyone to deal with it adequately in the space of 25 minutes or so. But I shall attempt to deal with the more important aspects of the major issues confronting the world organization today. As you are no doubt aware, the functions of the United Nations can be broadly classified into three categories: political, economic and social, and trusteeship activities. Before I deal with these main functions, I should like to comment briefly on the United Nations financial problem which, I believe, has been widely publicized, but little understood, over the past few years. The financial difficulties of the organization had their origin in the Organization’s undertaking to maintain peace in the troubled area of the Middle East between Israel and Arab countries, and as a result of its efforts to help the Government of the Congo, amongst other things, to maintain the The Economic Club of New York – His Excellency U Thant – March 5, 1963 Page 2 territorial integrity and the political independence of the Republic of the Congo, to prevent the occurrence of civil war and to maintain law and order in that country.

  • Dag Hammarskjöld Remembered
    It is now fi fty years since Dag Hammarskjöld left the world and the United Nations behind. Yet, with every passing year since his death, his stature grows and his worth along with his contribution becomes more apparent and meaningful. Dag Hammarskjöld Remembered | When Hammarskjöld was at its helm the United Nations was still a relatively young organization, fi nding its way in a post-war world that had entered a new phase, the cold war, for which there was no roadmap. He was a surprise choice as Secretary-General, a so-called “safe” choice as there was little expectation that this former Swedish civil servant would be more than a competent caretaker. Few imagined that Dag Hammarskjöld would embrace his destiny with such passion and independence and even fewer could have foreseen that he would give his life in service to his passion. But as Hammarskjöld himself stated: “Destiny is something not to be desired and not to be avoided – a mystery not con- A Collection Memories of Personal trary to reason, for it implies that the world, and the course of human history, have meaning.” Th at statement sums up his world view. Th is is a volume of memoirs written by people who knew Hammarskjöld. We hope that these memories succeed in imparting to those who never knew or worked with Dag Hammarskjöld the intrinsic fl avour of this unusual, highly intelligent, highly complex individual who believed deeply in the ability of people, especially their ability to aff ect the world in which they live. He once refl ected: “Everything will be all right – you know when? When people, just people, stop thinking of the United Nations as a weird Picasso abstraction and see it as a drawing they made themselves.” Today that advice rings as true as ever.

  • Dag Hammarskjöld´S Approach to the United Nations and International Law
    1 Dag Hammarskjöld´s approach to the United Nations and international law By Ove Bring Professor emeritus of Stockholm University and the Swedish National Defense College Dag Hammarskjöld, the second Secretary‐General of the United Nations, had a flexible approach to international law. On the one hand, he strongly relied on the principles of the UN Charter and general international law, on the other, he used a flexible and balanced ad hoc technique, taking into account values and policy factors whenever possible, to resolve concrete problems. Hammarskjöld had a tendency to express basic principles in terms of opposing tendencies, to apply a discourse of polarity or dualism, stressing for example that the observance of human rights was balanced by the concept of non‐intervention, or the concept of intervention by national sovereignty, and recognizing that principles and precepts could not provide automatic answers in concrete cases. Rather, such norms would serve “as criteria which had to be weighed and balanced in order to achieve a rational solution of the particular problem”.1 Very often it worked. Dag Hammarskjöld has gone to history as an inspiring international personality, injecting a dose of moral leadership and personal integrity into a world of power politics. He succeeded Trygve Lie as Secretary‐General in April 1953, in the midst of the Cold War, and in addition to East‐West rivalry he was confronted with Third World problems and the agonizing birth of the new Republic of Congo, a tumultuous crisis through which he lost his life in the Ndola air crash in September 1961.

  • Angels and Dragons: Program Director Global Issues Asia, the UN, Tel
    July 2005 Issues Brief Dr Michael Fullilove Angels and Dragons: Program Director Global Issues Asia, the UN, Tel. +61 2 8238 9040 [email protected] Reform, and the Next Secretary–General Executive Summary The relationship between the UN and Asia can seem unfamiliar and distant. Most of New York’s energy is consumed by the Middle East and Africa rather than Northeast, South and Southeast Asia; the international organisation can seem Atlanticist in orientation. On the other side of the Pacifi c Ocean the strict view of state sovereignty adopted by many Asian capitals leads them to keep the UN at arm’s length. As always, however, the story is more complex: we need to differentiate between the UN’s work in Asia on the one hand, and Asian behaviour at the UN on the other. Since 1945, the UN has contributed to the Asian security order but only at the margins, its security role circumscribed by power politics and Asian approaches to security. By contrast, Asian states have always been keen to exercise their prerogatives in New York, viewing their UN activities as a marker of sovereignty and a source of prestige. The Brief reviews this history and sets out the current stances of the three major regional powers — China, India, and Japan — towards the UN. The next eighteen months will be an important period in UN-Asia relations. A reform process is underway in which Asian states are playing an infl uential role, and Kofi Annan’s successor as Secretary-General is expected to be an Asian. It is argued here that the historical tension in the relationship is evident in contemporary reform discussions, with Asian states more focused on Security Council reform than on those reforms that might conceivably involve the UN more deeply in Asian LOWY INSTITUTE FOR security issues.

  • UN Emergency Force Withdrawn from Sinai and Gaza Strip on Egyptian
    Keesing's Record of World Events (formerly Keesing's Contemporary Archives), Volume 13, June, 1967 Israel, Egyptian, Page 22063 © 1931-2006 Keesing's Worldwide, LLC - All Rights Reserved. The Arab-Israel Crisis.- U.N. Emergency Force withdrawn from Sinai and Gaza Strip on Egyptian Demand. - Egyptian Blockade of Gulf of Aqaba. - Israeli Vessels banned from entering Gulf. - Mobilization in Arab Countries and Israel. - Arab and Soviet Support for Egypt. - U Thant's Mission to Cairo. -International Reactions to Middle East Crisis. The long-standing tension in the Middle East erupted on June 5 in the outbreak of war between Israel and the Arab States, each side accusing the other of responsibility for the commencement of hostilities. As stated in 22062 A and 21817 A, there had been constantly increasing tension on Israel's frontiers since the autumn of 1966 due to the stepping-up of attacks by Arab terrorist organizations, directed in the great majority of eases from Syrian territory. The frequency and intensification of these terrorist attacks, for which the Syrian Government expressed its full support and which the Israeli Government alleged had all been organized by Syria, had led to repeated warnings to Syria by Israeli leaders. As stated in 22062 A, the Israeli Chief of Staff (Major-General Rabin) declared on March 24 that, if these attacks continued, it might become necessary ―to take action against the country from which these infiltrators come.‖ On May 10, according to a report in Le Monde, tire Foreign Minister of Israel (Mr. Eban) had instructed the Israeli ambassadors accredited to the countries represented on the security Council to bring the gravity of the Syro-Israeli frontier situation to the attention of those countries, and to inform them that Israel could not remain inactive in the face of constant aggressions against her territory by Arabs coming from Syria and enjoying the support of the Syrian authorities.
