For over 25 years, The Annual Review of United Nations Affairs
(ARUNA) has been the print source for researchers needing a
comprehensive document collection that highlights the work of the
United Nations' six principal organs each year. Recognized as the
only print and bound collection for these documents, ARUNA is an
essential reference for academic researchers and policy-makers.
Coverage spans important resolutions and decisions, focusing on the
significant documents and collaborative work of the United Nations.
Selected reports of intergovernmental bodies and expert groups are
also included and documents are grouped together by subject matter
for easy reference. Each year, a new guest author provides an
introduction to the set, analyzing the major themes covered
throughout that year. ARUNA provides an in-depth view to an
organization that today has more the 63,000 employees located in
nearly 175 countries and is responsible for implementing the
decisions of the governing bodies. This particular edition
(2006-07): The past year has been one of the most tumultuous and
challenging in the U.N.'s history and, indeed, in the modern
history of the entire globe. This year's edition of ARUNA presents
the story of that tumult as well as the story of the U.N.'s efforts
to resolve both global conflicts and internal controversy.
Specifically, this year's set of volumes includes documents related
to the U.N.-based World Food Programme, whose management provoked
an international scandal last year. However, most the 2006-07
edition of ARUNA focuses on the more critical issues affecting
millions of lives around the world in the past year: the Darfur
genocide, climate change, the Palestinian refugee crisis, West
Africa's political and social instability. By providing the full
text of both the resolutions addressing these topics and the U.N.
reports concerning them, ARUNA 06/07 delivers a unique resource for
students, scholars, and practitioners. The series' topic-based
organization of the materials and subject index lend invaluable
guidance to all researchers. This year, Dr. Edward Luck , the
Director of the Center on International Organization of the School
of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University, is
contributing an introductory essay that will illuminate this year's
varied and troubling world events. This particular volume (Vol. 2):
This volume consists solely of G.A. resolutions from the second
half of the G.A.'s 61st session (January to September of 2007).
