  • Eleanor Roosevelt Transcript of Speech on Human Rights 1951
    Eleanor Roosevelt Transcript of Speech on Human Rights 1951 Paragraph One: I’m very glad to be able to take part in this celebration in St. Louis on Human Rights Day. Ever since the declaration of human rights, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, was passed in Paris in 1948 on December the 10th , we have fostered the observance of this day not only in the United States but throughout the world. Paragraph Two: The object is to make people everywhere conscious of the importance of human rights and freedoms. Paragraph Three: The reason for that is that these are spoken of and emphasized in the Charter of the United Nations, and the declaration was written to elaborate the rights already mentioned in the charter and to emphasize also, for all of us, the fact that the building of human rights would be one of the foundation stones, on which we would build in the world, an atmosphere in which peace can grow. Paragraph Four: For that reason, all over the world we’ve encouraged the Association for the United Nations to observe a whole week before United Nations Day comes around to explain the United Nations and what goes on in that organization and when we come to the celebration for human rights we try to particularly have people study the declaration so that they will really understand what were considered to be the most essential rights for all people to have throughout the world. Paragraph Five: They fall into different groups and one reason that we are now considering the writing of a covenant or covenants is because we feel that these rights should sometimes be actually written into the laws of countries throughout the world, and that can be done by the adoption of covenants and the changing of laws to meet whatever a country has accepted in a covenant which will be written in treaty form.

  • The UN Works for International Peace and Security
    Did You Know? 7 Since 1945, the UN has assisted in negotiating more than 170 peace settlements that have ended regional conflicts. 7 The United Nations played a role in bringing about independence in more than 80 countries that are now sovereign nations. 7 Over 500 multinational treaties – on human rights, terrorism, international crime, refugees, disarmament, commodities and the oceans – have been enacted through the efforts of the United Nations. 7 The World Food Programme, the world’s largest humanitarian agency, reaches on average 90 million hungry people in 80 countries every year. 7 An estimated 90 per cent of global conflict-related deaths since 1990 have been civilians, and 80 percent of these have been women and children. 7 If each poor person on the planet had the same energy-rich lifestyle as an average person in Germany or the United Kingdom, four planets would be needed to safely cope with the pollution. That figure rises to nine planets when compared with the average of the United States or Canada. 07-26304—DPI/1888/Rev.3—August 2008—15M Everything You Always Wanted to Know About the United Nations FOR STUDENTS AT INTERMEDIATE AND SECONDARY LEVELS United Nations Department of Public Information New York, 2010 An introduction to the United Nations i Material contained in this book is not subject to copyright.

  • A Day in the Future Accelerating Solutions to Security Threats
    A Day In The Future Accelerating Solutions to Security Threats Leland Russell and Greg Austin FEBRUARY 2008 ACKNOWLEDGMENT The EastWest Institute would like to acknowledge the generous support of the Francis Finlay Foundation for financial support to its work on framing new approaches to global security. We live in a world of new and evolving threats, threats that could not have been anticipated when the UN was founded in 1945 – threats like nuclear terrorism, and State collapse from the witch’s brew of poverty, disease and civil war. Report of the UN Secretary General's High-Level Panel on Threats, Challenges and Change, December 2004 1 THE THREATS WE FACE The security environment of the future will be shaped by transnational threats evolving from wars, violent extremism, natural disasters, pandemics, and unaddressed systemic problems—including poverty, organized crime, and environmental degradation. Technology will remain a force-multiplier for violent extremists, not only for higher levels of lethality, but for propaganda dissemination. Real-time, global communication will exacerbate the psychological impact of potential threats and the aftermath of incidents. The confluence of these circumstances will cause rising international anxiety and insecurity about physical well-being, prosperity, and even the sustainability of human existence. This will in turn feed an intensifying backlash against “modernity” and the pace of social and technological change, based on fears—both real and imagined. In this environment, the preservation of our common security—whether military, economic, social, or environmental—is becoming increasingly more difficult and complex. Consider, for example, the potential security implications of the energy challenge resulting from the projected one-third increase in the global population over the next 40 years, as portrayed by the CEO of Royal Dutch Shell plc, Jeroen van der Veer: Energy use in 2050 may be twice as high as it is today or higher still.

  • Appendix I: All UN Peacekeeping Mandates, 1948-2016
    Appendix I: All UN Peacekeeping Mandates, 1948-2016 Appendix I lists all new mandates for UN peace operations issued per year categorized by Chapter of the UN Charter invoked in the mandate. There are three lists in this appendix: Chapter VI mandates, Chapter VII mandates, and mandates that shifted between Chapter VI and Chapter VII. Missions are listed chronologically and recorded in each category in which they received a mandate. A mission that shifts mandates will therefore appear on all three lists. 1 Appendix I: All UN Peacekeeping Mandates, 1948-2016 Table 1: Chapter VI Mandates (year indicates authorization of mission) Truce Supervision Organization (UNTSO) (1948) Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP) (1949) Emergency Force I (UNEF I) (1956) Observation Group in Lebanon (UNOGIL) (1958) Security Force in West New Guinea (NSF) (1962) Yemen Observation Mission (UNYOM) (1963) Mission of the SG's Representative in the Dominican Republic (DOMREP) (1965) India-Pakistan Observation Mission (UNIPOM) (1965) Emergency Force II (UNEF II) (1973) Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) (1974) Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) (1978) Good Offices Mission in Afghanistan and Pakistan (UNGOMAP) (1988) Iran-Iraq Military Observer Group (UNIIMOG) (1988) Angola Verification Mission I (UNAVEM I) (1989) Transition Assistance Group (UNTAG) (1989) Observer Group in Central America (ONUCA) (1989) Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara (MINURSO) (1991) Angola Verification Mission II (UNAVEM II) (1991) Angola Verification Mission III

  • GEG WP 93 the Governance of the World Intellectual Property
    Updated 26 MarchMay 2015 2015 The Global Economic Governance Programme University of Oxford The Governance of the World Intellectual Property Organization: A Reference Guide Carolyn Deere Birkbeck* Abstract The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) is the multilateral system’s key agency charged with intellectual property (IP). This working paper is the first of two documents prepared as background for a political analysis of WIPO’s governance and reform debates. This first paper presents an overview of the core components of WIPO’s governance system, described in practical, readily-accessible terms for policymakers and stakeholders in the form of a factual reference guide. The second paper provides a chronological review of governance discussions at WIPO since 1967, as well as actions taken by Member States and the Secretariat to date. The third paper offers a political assessment of WIPO’s governance and reform efforts, critically reviewing the power politics and dynamics of governance. After presenting a framework for analysing WIPO’s governance system, this paper reviews the origins of WIPO and sets out its current functions and activities, as well as the leadership, size and structure of the Secretariat. The core of the paper identifies and examines the core components of WIPO’s current governance system in five thematic areas: mandate and legal foundations; decision-making structures, processes and practices for Member State representation; financial arrangements (e.g., income sources and budget process); accountability mechanisms (i.e., for oversight, audit and evaluation); and transparency and external relations. The paper highlights that WIPO’s financial model is unique among UN organisations: the organization relies almost entirely on self-financing, raising revenue from private sector fees in exchange for treaty-related services rather than from Member State contributions.

  • The Land-Grant College Heritage — and Future
    2006–2013 The Land-Grant College Heritage — and Future The past seven years have been a time to honor established traditions within The Texas A&M University System and look ahead to the future in a changing world. In January 2008, a new branding campaign incorporated the name AgriLife, chosen to symbolize the idea that “Agriculture Is Life” because of its broad connection with everyday living through food, clothing, countless other products and processes, health care, and even biofuels to provide new energy sources. Texas Cooperative Extension became the Texas AgriLife Extension Service and the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station became Texas AgriLife Research. The statewide centers also changed their names to Texas AgriLife Research and Extension Centers at their city locations. And Texas A&M AgriLife was designated as the administrative umbrella for the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (which kept its name) and all four agencies. Another name change in 2012 added “A&M” to the agency names to better communicate our connection to the Texas A&M System. In 2011, as the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences celebrated its 100th year — and in the same decade when Texas AgriLife Extension celebrated the 100th anniversary of the county Extension agent as well as the Texas Extension 4-H Centennial — construction was completed on a new Agriculture and Life Sciences Building and the AgriLife Center, Phase 1 of the new Agriculture Complex being built on Texas A&M University’s West Campus. The AgriLife Services Building was not far behind, ready for move-in in early January 2012.
