From September 2011 to September 2012, Ambassador Nasser Abdulaziz
Al-Nasser of Qatar presided over the 66th session of the "world's
parliament" - the United Nations General Assembly. It was a
critical moment in international affairs as the UN responded to a
range of global challenges, from the world financial crisis to the
Arab Spring. In A Year at the Helm of the General Assembly,
Al-Nasser presents a high-level look inside the organization,
assessing its strengths and weaknesses, its successes and
struggles. He recounts dramatic moments, such as replacing the
Libyan delegation, and a tireless schedule of overseas travel,
including joint visits with the Secretary-General to Libya and
Somalia. His work takes him from major international summits such
as the Conference on Sustainable Development in Rio de Janeiro,
Brazil (Rio+20) to the European Parliament, which he was the first
General Assembly President to address, to academic institutions
from Oxford to Moscow to Morocco. Al-Nasser structures the book as
he did his 66th session, around four main themes or "pillars: "
mediation, UN reform, natural disaster prevention and response, and
sustainable development.He offers a wide range of recommendations
to intergovernmental institutions, to states, to the public sector,
and to individuals. Al-Nasser was determined to leave behind a
General Assembly that the people of the world could look up to and
depend on. This volume is a testament to all that he accomplished
in that regard, and a unique resource for those interested in
knowing more about the world's most representative body at a
crucial moment in history.
