The role of the Secretary-General, as mandated in the Charter of
the United Nations, is to enhance the capacity of the United
Nations to maintain peace through the prevention and resolution of
international conflict. Based on an in-depth understanding of both
the pertinent articles of the Charter and the international reach
of the Secretary-General's position, this volume examines and
evaluates the diplomatic resources currently available to the
Secretary-General in the area of crisis prevention, and recommends
measures intended to further define the office's responsibilities
and strengthen its preventive powers. An outline of the legal and
political structure of the Secretary-General's authority, followed
by a review of each of the five Secretaries-General's efforts with
respect to the avoidance of international conflict from 1945 to
1987 presents information which demonstrates the need for improved
preventive resources. Reforms instituted by Perez de Cuellar from
1982 to 1987 are applauded and examined in detail, as the study
then turns its attention to the present status of the
Secretary-General's position. Convinced that the prevention of
international conflict will be well-served by increasing the
office's direct involvement, Thomas E. Boudreau proposes a global
system of conflict identification that will enable the
Secretary-General position to fulfill its intended role. A select
bibliography, general subject index, and appendixes which include
relevant reference materials complete the work.
