    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.

    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 idea was launched at a roundtable meeting at the International Studies Association (ISA) Annual Convention in New Orleans in February 20101 and will be elaborated upon during a panel at the Annual Convention of the ISA in Montreal in March 2011.2 This brief overview explains the Project’s objectives, tools, and organizational aspects. It encompasses assumptions and decisions to be made, and serves as an invitation to join or support the Project in one way or another.

A Biographical Dictionary Secretaries-General (SGs) – or other executive heads with different titles – of International Organizations (IOs) are the chief executives and representatives of international bureaucracies that vary in size and shape. This position has standing within International Relations Theory and many IO personalities are known to a wider public for their roles in international politics. However, there is still a gap in our understanding of the people in these posts, both individually and collectively, in terms of who they are and how they affect the performance of IOs, as organizations and in international relations.

    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.

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.
