Abstract At a time when better protection of whistleblowers is increasingly demanded, how does the United Nations deal with its own whistleblowers? As un agents have immunity they rely on an internal un justice system. However, in 2005, the un Secretary-General issued a Bulletin that created a mechanism based in an Ethics Office to protect whistleblowers. In practice, the new system has not met expectations and has raised many legal issues, in particular with regard to the competence of the United Nations Dispute Tribunal to review the decisions of the Ethics Office. As a result, un agents have started to avoid the Ethics Office mechanism and have gone directly before un judges. Moreover, in early 2017, the new Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, reformed the un’s Ethics Office mechanism.

The article provides a comprehensive analysis of international legal acts regulating the right of women prisoners to health; focuses on problematic issues that need to be addressed, including: creating a safe environment for the health of women prisoners, provision of medical care, protection during the COVID-19 pandemic. The article highlights provisions of the following universal and regional acts of a general nature, which regulate the provision of medical care to prisoners and establish special rules on the status of women prisoners: the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners (the Mandela Rules) (1955 amended); European Prison Rules (2006); the United Nations Rules for the Treatment of Women Prisoners and Non-custodial Measures for Women Offenders (the Bangkok Rules) (2010). The materials of the international specialized structures of the United Nations, in particular the World Health Organization, namely its European Regional Office, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, etc., which focus on ensuring the right of women prisoners to health, have also been considered. They are: “Health in prisons. A WHO guide to the essentials in prison health” (2008), “Women’s health in prison. Action guidance and checklists to review current policies and practices” (2011), “Prisons and Health” (2014), Joint Statement of International Global Health Institutions, during the COVID-19 Pandemic (2020), the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime position paper outlining COVID-19 preparedness and responses in prisons etc. The emphasis is placed on practical significance of the webinars “Building Networks Behind Prison Walls” initiated by the United Nations and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, which exchange positive practices, develop common approaches to prevention and treatment of certain diseases, continuity of providing medical care for those in need after release, reintegration of prisoners after release into local communities. Relevant conclusions and recommendations have been made in order to improve the situation in the area of ensuring the right of women prisoners to health and the provision of medical care.

Administration of International Law. The United Nations’ legal organ, the International Court of Justice, has a Clerk’s Office which enables it to carry out its judicial function in full independence. The staff of this office, who are international civil servants, perform functions related to the Court’s judicial activities as well as administrative tasks. Enjoying a certain autonomy vis-à-vis the United Nations, the Court, for example, has drawn up its own personnel regulations.

This study examines the United Nations' efforts to effect Palestinian refugee compensation through its lead agency for resolving the ArabIsraeli conflict, the United Nations Conciliation Commission for Palestine (UNCCP), from 1949 to 1966. It highlights the progressive shrinking of the UNCCP's role from overall conciliation to bringing about agreement on compensation to a tertiary status conducting technical studies. Examining in particular the ambitious twelve-year program for identifying and evaluating refugee property carried out by the UNCCP's Technical Office, the author details the vast land records used and generated by that office and publishes for the first time compensation estimates buried in the archives. In analyzing the reasons for UNCCP's ultimate failure in realizing its mission, the author highlights first and foremost the negative impact of the United States's undeclared but strict "red lines" for resolving the crisis.

Seventy-five years after the creation of the United Nations at the Dumbarton Oaks conference, the secretary-general has become the de facto figurehead of the world organization and the office-holder is expected to take a proactive role in a whole range of global issues. Yet it remains unclear what powers the Allied planners intended for the secretary-general. By examining the discussions that took place on this issue before, during and after Dumbarton Oaks this article argues that despite the seemingly innocuous provisions relating to the secretary-general enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, the office-holder was never intended to simply be a chief administrator. What is more, the first Secretary-General, Trygve Lie, controversially sought to resolve a number of issues that came before the United Nations, most notably the Korean War. The second half of this article thus demonstrates that while Lie did test the parameters of his office to the limits during the Korean conflict, none of his actions exceeded the powers granted to the secretary-general. Moreover, Lie’s role during the Korean War set the tone for his successor, Dag Hammarskjold, who is usually seen as the most proactive secretary-general to date.

Less has changed in US diplomacy at the United Nations than many observers expected when the Obama administration took office in January 2009. In the UN Security Council, the United States has pursued a generally steady course that in many respects builds on the accomplishments of the Bush administration. Unexpectedly, the Security Council’s pace of work diminished considerably during the first few years of the new administration. The most significant change is the atmospherics of US diplomacy, not its substance: the Obama administration has participated in processes that the Bush administration shunned and has toned down US criticism of the United Nations’ perceived shortcomings.

This article examines the discussions and decisions which occurred within the British government concerning Britain's military involvement in the Korean peninsula at a time when Britain was pulling out of its military obligations in Asia – colloquially known as the ‘retreat East of Suez’ – in the late 1960s and the early 1970s. After the end of the Korean War, Britain created the Commonwealth Liaison Mission in Seoul and provided a frigate for use in Korean waters by the American-led United Nations Command and British soldiers for the United Nations Honour Guard. When relations between North and South Korea reached crisis point at the end of the 1960s, London was concerned that Britain could be entangled in an unaffordable military conflict in the Korean peninsula. The Ministry of Defence therefore argued for the abolition of the commitment of the British frigate, but the Foreign Office opposed this initiative so as to mitigate the blow to Anglo-American relations caused by Britain's refusal to commit troops to Vietnam. When Edward Heath's government negotiated a Five Power Defence Agreement with Singapore, Malaysia, Australia and New Zealand in April 1971, the Ministry of Defence was, despite the objections of the Foreign Office, finally successful in repealing the frigate commitment for reasons of overstretching military resources. Furthermore, the Ministry of Defence then called for the abolition of the Commonwealth Liaison Mission altogether when it was then discovered that the British contingent of the United Nations Honour Guard would have to fight under the command of the United Nations Commander in case of a military conflict in the Korean peninsula. But this proposal too was rebuffed by the Foreign Office, concerned that such a move would greatly damage Anglo-Korean relations at a time when Britain was considering establishing diplomatic relations with North Korea.

Issues of sexual orientation and gender identity were raised in two of the United Nations intergovernmental world conferences on women, 1985 and 1995, and in the Vienna world conference on human rights in 1993. From 2006 a number of LGBTI Non-Governmental Organizations gained ongoing ‘consultative status’ from the Economic and Social Council allowing access to regular UN human rights events. Leading human rights NGOs, such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch began to address LGBTI issues. The Human Rights Council condemned violence and discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity in 2011 and later authorized an independent expert, whose mandate was renewed for a second term. The UNDP “Being LGBT in Asia” program has been active in eight Asian states, including five in ASEAN: Cambodia, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. Strong support came from Ban Ki-moon as UN Secretary-General, as well as from the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and other agencies.

This article is devoted to the analysis of cooperation between the SCO countries and the integration association itself with UNODC. It is emphasized that the interaction of these structures is extremely important in the current conditions of a high level of cross-border organized crime in the global world, which is facilitated, as you know, by the Internet, the rapid progress of ICT, the liberalization of international transportation and cross-border communication of various communities, individuals and world tourism. One of the types, one of the dangerous varieties of cross-border organized crime is drug trafficking, which brings challenges and threats to national, regional and universal security. Hence the task of establishing close cooperation between the SCO and UNODC through various programs. UNODC seeks to strengthen the potential of the SCO member states to counter the drug threat. The article describes and analyzes various UNODC projects and programs, many of which have been successfully implemented in the SCO member countries.

This study aims to evaluate the status of the partnerships with important international organizations that Korea employs in operating its foreign aid projects from a humanitarian point of view. On the basis of this information, Korea intends to seek ways of effectively supporting underdeveloped countries through future co-operation with these organizations. The main international organizations analyzed are the World Food Programmer (WFP), the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), the (United Nations) Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). These international organizations support underdeveloped countries through co-operative relationships not only with Korea but also with important donor countries of the OECD. This study focuses on establishing the factors that Korea needs to consider when providing humanitarian aid in the future to underdeveloped countries via such international organizations.

Abstract At the turn of the millennium, the United Nations (UN) sought a renewed and more broadly defined approach to development. As part of these efforts, the UN began to incorporate sport within official development policies and apparatuses, including the Millennium Development Goals and the United Nations Office on Sport for Development and Peace. Drawing upon primary research conducted at the United Nations archives, this article seeks to address a gap in the literature pertaining to the history of sport and development by exploring the UN's use of sport for development since its formation in the 1940s. In highlighting the use of sport in post–World War II reconstruction, decolonization, and peace-building, this article helps to illustrate a much longer history of sport for development within the UN and demonstrates how sport has long been connected to dominant development theories and practices.

Children’s right to play is enshrined in Article 31 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, 1990). The early childhood period is a time when children’s values and dispositions towards outdoor play and environments are formed. Children have an intrinsic drive and natural curiosity to explore the world around them and outdoor environments are a key context for this exploration. Outdoor play and learning provide significant benefits for all aspects of children’s development - physical, cognitive, social and emotional (Brussoni et al., 2015).

In 2017, it was decided that the United Nations Office on Sport for Development and Peace (UNOSDP) is to be closed. This qualitative study aims to analyse the reasons for the closure as well as its effects on Sport for Development and Peace (SDP) in the United Nations. Against the background of the systems theory, we conducted interviews with participants from relevant organisations. It is shown that the way the UNOSDP worked underwent a change and that the new tasks as well as their fulfilment were viewed controversially. Additionally, broader changes in development policy set a new frame for SDP.

The UN Office of Legal Affairs provides central legal support and assistance to UN offices and entities implementing the fundamental UN mandate established by the UN Charter, namely, to support the maintenance of international peace and security; to promote economic and social advancement for all people; and to affirm faith in fundamental human rights and promote the wider acceptance of international law. The General Legal Division is one of six divisions of the UN Office of Legal Affairs, and one of two of the Office's divisions that provide transactional legal services and support to the United Nations, its Funds and Programmes, such as the UN Development Programme, the United Nations Children's Fund, the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, the UN Population Fund, and others, the UN's peacekeeping missions, and the UN's regional and country offices throughout the world. Specifically, the Office oversees global crises and at times relevant legal aid. It deals with the internal legal framework of the UN and facilitates its legal interactions with suppliers, donors, implementing partners, and the public at large. In the General Legal Division, we have some thirty lawyers and ten support staff in the Division dealing with a variety of the day to day legal issues faced by the Organization.

Drug trafficking is considered by contemporary academics to be one of the most widespread forms of organized transnational crime. The unstable regional political situation, corruption, armed conflicts, poverty, and other factors are recognized as contributing to the expansion of this phenomenon. The United Nations has aimed to channel state cooperation in eradicating the drug scourge. Among the most effective tools in this regard are the creation of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime and the adoption on 15 November 2000 of the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime. In this article, we aim to analyze the forms of inter-state cooperation in the prevention and combating of illicit drug trafficking and their impact on the phenomenon under investigation; also, we will analyze the legal nature of drug trafficking as an act that infringes on the interests of the modern international community.

United Nations Secretariat activities, mapping began in 1946, and by 1951, the need for maps increased and an office with a team of cartographers was established. Since then, with the development of technologies including internet, remote sensing, unmanned aerial systems, relationship database management and information systems, geospatial information provides an ever-increasing variation of support to the work of the Organization for planning of operations, decision-making and monitoring of crises. However, the need for maps has remained intact. This presentation aims to highlight some of the cartographic representation styles over the decades by reviewing the evolution of selected maps by the office, and noting the changing cognitive and semiotic aspects of cartographic and geographic visualization required by the United Nations. Through presentation and analysis of these maps, the changing dynamics of the Organization in information management can be reflected, with a reminder of the continuing and expanding deconstructionist role of a cartographer, now geospatial information management experts.

AbstractThe United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs and the International Heliophysical Year (IHY) community have joined hands to deploy arrays of small, inexpensive instruments such as magnetometers, radio telescopes, GPS receivers, all-sky cameras, and particle detectors around the world to provide global measurements of ionospheric, magnetospheric and heliospheric phenomena. The small instrument programme is envisioned as a partnership between instrument providers, and instrument hosts in developing countries as one of United Nations Basic Space Science (UNBSS) activity. The lead scientist will provide the instruments (or fabrication plans for instruments) in the array; the host country will provide manpower, facilities, and operational support to obtain data with the instrument, located typically at a local university. This paper provides an overview of the IHY/UNBSS programme, its achievements and future plans.

The United Nations briefly considered the issue of extra-terrestrial intelligence at the 32nd session of the General Assembly in 1977. As a result, the Office of Outer Space Affairs was tasked to prepare a document on issues related to ‘messages to extra-terrestrial civilizations’, but this area has not been followed through in more recent times. This discussion paper describes the United Nations’ activities in the field of near-Earth objects in some detail, and suggests that this might be used as a model of how Member States could proceed with dealing with this issue in case the existence of extra-terrestrial life/intelligence is established.

The contribution of bureaucratic actors, such as those of the United Nations Secretary-General, has been a focus in the study of individuals’ contribution to international relations and the study of United Nations reform. In this context, role expansion has been a central concern. In January 2017, a new Secretary-General took office on the 38th floor of the United Nations, following a successful campaign to reform the selection process by increasing its transparency. Despite different campaign foci, campaign groups framed their claims for reform in the context of ‘representation’, which shaped expectations and understanding of the role and its authority. Expectations play a key role in role expansion beyond personality, leeway or institutional demand. This article discusses the representation of states, gender and the people as referents for the Secretary-General’s role, which corresponds to campaign claims regarding regional rotation, a woman Secretary-General and greater independence for the Secretary-General.

These past few years have marked the beginning of a revived surge of interest worldwide for the topic of marine geospatial information management, which is reflected in the work of the International Hydrographic Organization and United Nations relevant bodies. Building on this momentum, this contribution firstly introduces a milestone initiative on marine geospatial data recently launched by the United Nations General Assembly. Secondly, it addresses the significance of marine geospatial data collection, storage, and dissemination for the law of the sea. Finally, the role of hydrographic offices is emphasized in the challenge of moving from local to global in the management of marine geospatial data, focusing on the experience of the Italian Navy Hydrographic Office.

The successive holders of the office of Secretary-General of the United Nations have displayed considerable boldness and resourcefulness in the exercise of powers not spelled out in the Charter of the Organization but regarded as inherent in the office. Not surprisingly, the majority, but not all, of the numerous instances in which the United Nations Secretary-General has acted under those powers have concerned political questions. This activity, which usually aims either at forestalling potential disputes or at settling or assisting in the settlement of actual ones, has taken on a multiplicity of forms. In fact, just prior to the substantive involvement of the Secretary-General in the Central American situation, which was initiated in November 1986 and constituted yet another example of the use of his inherent powers, a point had been reached where very little room appeared to remain for significant innovation in the use of those powers to promote the settlement of disputes. Nevertheless, that situation gave the UN Secretary-General an opportunity to demonstrate that new ground could still be broken in this respect.

UN Reform in the 21st century has been motivated by the perceived need for institutional coherence. This was at the heart of UN Secretary- General Kofi Annan’s ambitious program for reform that he pursued throughout his term of office, seeking to ensure greater UN effectiveness through streamlining institutional functions. A significant development in the reform process was the creation in 2010 of the UN Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women, known as UN Women. UN Women incorporates the four existing parts of the UN system dealing with women and has been styled as the new UN “gender architecture”. This article considers the implications of this new institutional structure for the situation of women worldwide from the perspective of international law, asking in particular whether institutional reform is matched by normative progress.

This article argues that the political orientation of the government in office in a country may affect its positioning regarding the United Nations Peace Operations. In order to demonstrate that, in this study I compare what is said by officials of leftist and rightist Latin American countries about peacekeeping in UNSC, since the 1990s.

The right to a nationality is well established in international human rights law. In 1954 and 1961, the United Nations adopted the Convention Relating to the Status of Stateless Persons and the Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness, respectively. Inspired by Article 15 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the two Conventions provide for a right to nationality and prohibit deprivation or denial of nationality. In 2012, the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) drafted four guidelines on statelessness that expand on provisions of the 1954 and 1961 UN Conventions. They contain guidance sections directed specifically at governments, civil society organizations, legal practitioners, decision-makers and the judiciary as well as UNHCR and other UN agency staff involved in addressing statelessness.

Abstract In peacekeeping operations, private companies are frequently and increasingly engaged by the United Nations to carry-out a wide-range of activities that can potentially impinge on human rights. This article deals with two recent cases of misconduct committed by contractors whose activities, albeit not on the face of it involving the threat or (lethal or not-lethal) use of force, nonetheless caused harm to individuals. The first case-study relates to the mismanagement of sanitary waste, while the second case addresses the (mis)use of unarmed surveillance drones. Against this backdrop, the article purports to assess whether, and under what conditions, wrongdoing committed by private contractors gives rise to the international responsibility of the United Nations. The study explores, firstly, the question of the ‘direct’ attribution of such conduct to the United Nations, based on the qualification of the contractors as agent of the Organization, as understood in the Draft Articles on the Responsibility of International Organizations. It then analyzes the issue of the ‘indirect’ responsibility of the United Nations for failing to have sufficient oversight of the outsourced activities. In this respect, it highlights the crucial role played by internal accountability mechanisms, in particular the Office of Internal Oversight Services, in appraising the monitoring measures taken by the Organization with regard to the practice of contractors and in recommending remedial actions.
