  • 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.

  • UNAIDS, Universal Postal Union, UNI Global Union and ILO Launch Global
    PRESS RELEASE 09 UNAIDS, Universal Postal Union, UNI Global Union and ILO launch global HIV prevention campaign GENEVA, 7 July 2009 - The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), the Universal Postal Union (UPU), the International Labour Organization (ILO) and UNI Global Union are launching a global HIV prevention campaign in post offices around the world. In an initial roll out, the campaign is being launched in some 16,000 post offices in seven pioneering countries: Brazil, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, China, Estonia, Mali and Nigeria. The campaign materials provide both visitors and employees with important information about how to prevent HIV through a series of eye-catching posters and hand-outs. The materials also give the address of a multi-language website on HIV prevention, hosted by UNAIDS, which provides detailed information about how to prevent infection. “With more than 7,400 new infections occurring every day it is clear that HIV prevention efforts need to be stepped up urgently,” said Michel Sidibé, Executive Director of UNAIDS. “The postal network has an extremely wide outreach; it is open to everyone from the young to the old and is an excellent and innovative way to raise awareness about how to prevent HIV”. Over the next three years, the campaign will be expanded globally, potentially making its way into 600,000 post offices worldwide. This would mean that millions of people who use postal services every day as well as the 5.5 million postal employees would receive important information about how to prevent HIV transmission. UPU Director General Edouard Dayan said, “With 600,000 post offices around the world, the postal network is a natural partner for this HIV-prevention awareness campaign.

  • 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
