As the United Nations moves beyond its fiftieth anniversary into
the millennium, it is faced with a new global system fraught with
political and economic tensions that can no longer be handled with
models that defined the organisation when it was founded in 1945.
An innovative vision for a reconstruction of the United Nations,
this book offers an insiders look at how the UN can respond more
effectively to the challenges of the future in an age of
globalization. Guido de Marco and Michael Bartolo, seasoned
veterans of the United Nations, provide valuable policy
recommendations involving a combination of political will,
relevance, and efficiency in the coming years. Analysing the roles
of major UN functions such as the General Assembly, the Trusteeship
Council, the Security Council, and the Secretariat, de Marco and
Bartolo call for decentralisation of the UN's activities and for
building stronger relationships with established regional
institutions and with Bretton Woods institutions. The proposals
made here open up an important area of discussion as international
policymakers seek peace and stability in the post-Cold War
world.
