Abstract

Onder de paraplu van de Verenigde Naties zijn een groot aantal autonome Gespecialiseerde Organisaties actief die een grote impact hebben op ons dagelijks leven op diverse terreinen zoals gezondheid, telecommunicatie, industrialisering en onderwijs. Dit boek wenst de structuren en bevoegdheden van deze organisaties, en de politieke ontwikkelingen die deze organisaties hebben doorgemaakt, op overzichtelijke wijze in kaart te brengen. Bijzondere aandacht gaat daarbij uit naar de rol die Vlaanderen en België spelen in deze organisaties, alsook naar de stem van Vlamingen die bij deze organisaties werken.Komen aan bod: Internationale Arbeidsorganisatie (ILO), Wereldgezondheidsorganisatie (WHO), Wereldbank, Internationaal Muntfonds (IMF), Organisatie voor Onderwijs, Wetenschap en Cultuur (UNESCO), Universele Postunie (UPU), Internationale Telecommunicatie Unie (ITU), Internationale Organisatie voor Burgerluchtvaart (ICAO), Organisatie voor Voedsel en Landbouw (FAO), Internationaal Fonds voor Landbouwontwikkeling (IFAD), Wereldorganisatie voor Intellectuele Eigendom (WIPO), Internationale Maritieme Organisatie (IMO), Wereld Meteorologische Organisatie (WMO), Industriële Ontwikkelingsorganisatie (UNIDO), en Wereld Toerisme Organisatie (UNWTO). Dit overzicht wordt aangevuld met het Internationaal Agentschap voor Atoomenergie (IAEA) en de Wereldhandelsorganisatie (WTO), organisaties die weliswaar formeel geen Gespecialiseerde Organisaties van de VN zijn, maar niettemin een grote rol spelen in het beheer van globale publieke goederen

Abstract

"Since the end of the last century, UN peacekeeping has undergone a fundamental and largely unexamined change. Peacekeeping operations, long expected to use force only in self-defence and to act impartially, are now increasingly relied upon by the Security Council as a means to maintain and restore security within a country. The operations are established under Chapter VII of the UN Charter and some are empowered to use 'all necessary measures', language traditionally reserved for enforcement operations. Through a close examination of these twenty-first century peacekeeping operations--including operations in Sierra Leone, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Liberia, Côte d'Ivoire, Haiti and the Darfur region of the Sudan--the book shows that they are, for the most part, fundamentally ill-suited to the enforcement-type tasks being asked of them. The operations, which are under-funded, under-equipped and whose troops are under-trained, frequently lurch from crisis to crisis. There is scant evidence, some 10 years on, that matters are likely to improve. The book argues that bestowing enforcement-type functions on a peacekeeping operation is misconceived. Such operations are likely to be unsuccessful in their enforcement-type tasks, thereby causing serious damage to the excellent reputation of UN peacekeeping, and the UN more broadly. In addition, because such operations are more likely to be perceived as partial, their ability to carry out traditional (non-forceful) peacekeeping tasks may be impeded. Finally, the Security Council's practice of charging peacekeeping operations with enforcement functions lessens the pressure on the Council to work to establish genuine enforcement operations - ie, operations that are considerably better suited to restoring peace and security"--Provided by publisher.

Abstract

Since the first edition of this book was published in 2010, United Nations peace operations have evolved significantly. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Central African Republic, and South Sudan, UN peacekeepers are now engaged in building peace by fighting non-State armed actors, and must consider issues concerning the application of law and policy governing the use of armed force when protecting civilians. In addition, the UN and its peacekeepers are increasingly being held to higher standards of accountability to ensure that their engagement with local forces and populations meets normative requirements found in international humanitarian law and international human rights law. This extensively revised edition of Documents on the Law of UN Peace Operations addresses the key normative principles, rules, and standards that have been a part of this evolution. The book provides essential documents, accompanied with commentary, which identify and explain the legal framework or applicable legal norms involved in the planning, management and conduct of UN peace operations. Topics covered include obligations under international humanitarian law, human rights law, international criminal law, and privileges and immunities. Special attention is also paid to matters such as accountability, the rule of law, and the protection of civilians.

Abstract

A concise and analytical overview of the theoretical and moral issues raised by humanitarian intervention, relating this to the recent historical record.Divided into two parts, it will first explore the setting of contemporary humanitarian interventions in world politics and in political philosophy. It will ask what went wrong with the post-cold war settlement and will track the transition of UN peacekeeping from the cold war to the post-cold war period. The more philosophical aspects of humanitarian intervention will then be explored, along with the inter-linked roles of the media and public

Abstract

Professor Ramesh Thakur, former Senior Vice Rector of the United Nations University and UN Assistant Secretary-General, is sometimes described as one of the intellectual godfathers of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P). Based in our common humanity, R2P is an acceptance of a duty of care by those living in safety towards those trapped in zones of danger. It aims to convert a shocked international conscience into timely and decisive collective action to rescue vulnerable communities so that groups condemned to die in fear can live in hope instead. For more than a decade, Thakur has been deeply

Abstract

Against the World maps South Africa's journey to increasing isolation in the United Nations, from a respected member in 1945 to a pariah' in the early sixties. The book reveals how this country became the main architect of its own growing isolation, since it refused to modify domestic policies that alienated even its potential allies. Its low profile in debates and constant abstention on human rights instruments were seen as a lack of interest in global humanitarian affairs. Events unfold from 1945, when Field Marshall JC Smuts proposed the adoption of a Preamble to the United Nations Charter. Three years later, South Africa refused to sign the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Global criticism against apartheid intensified, until in 1960 it culminated in calls from African members for economic and diplomatic sanctions. By 1961, South Africa had become isolated in the United Nations and relegated to a moral wilderness. For the modern reader of history and social affairs, the book clarifies South Africa's past and present role in the evolution of international humanitarian law.
