The UN-80 initiative, presented in March, Secretary General Antoniu Guterrysh, is a systemic process to optimize the work of the UN, increase its influence and strengthen its role in a rapidly changing world. ~ 60 > “now the right time to look at ourselves and evaluate how much we correspond to our purpose in conditions that will be frank, are quite complicated for multilaterality and the UN itself,” says Guy Ryder, deputy general of the Secretary General & nbsp; on politics and chairman of the working group “UN-80”. ~ 60 > read also: ~ 60 > UN head. Organizations The goal of the initiative is not only to increase the effectiveness, but also to confirm the value of multilateral cooperation in the era of reduction in trust and the growth of the number of people in need of help. This is an attempt to strengthen the UN’s ability to respond to challenges – from conflicts and movements of the population to climatic shocks and technological changes – while doing external pressure, including budget reduction and growth of political disagreements. ~ 60 > 60 > “We will get out of this process with a stronger and more strong and prepared for future challenges of the UN,” – explains the rider. three directions of reform The UN-80 is based on three key areas of work: ~ 60 > 1. Increasing internal efficiency-reduction of the bureaucracy, optimization of global presence, including the transfer of functions to regions with lower costs. ~ ~ p > 2. analysis Mandates – a revision of almost 4 thousand mandates determining the activities of the UN Secretariat. Over the decades, more than 40 thousand mandates have accumulated, some of which are duplicated or obsolete. ~ 60 > “Let’s see where there is duplication, which can be considered a priority and what to abandon,” says Ryder. unlike attempts 2006 years, now the UN has analytical tools, including AI, which allow you to better imagine information to member states. However, decisions on the future of the mandates will be made by them. 3. Structural changes – analysis of the architecture of the entire UN system and possible changes in its configuration. This direction will be based on the conclusions of the analysis of the mandates. working group and systematic approach To coordinate the work, the General Secretary created seven thematic clusters under the direction of UN senior leaders. These clusters cover the issues of peace and security, humanitarian assistance, development, human rights, training, specialized agencies and others. ~ 60 > each cluster develops proposals to improve coordination and eliminate fragmentation. The first sentences will be published in July. ~ 60 > not components, but strengthening ~ 60 > although public attention is focused on possible contractions of the budget and personnel, the register emphasizes that the UN-80 goal is not so much an increase in the increase The effectiveness of the organization. “Yes, financial difficulties are.

Why the UN-80 is important for all ~ 60 > “UN-80” concerns not so much bureaucracy, but above all-people. This is a chance to make the UN assistance more effective, especially in crisis situations. 60 > today the UN helps more than 130 million forced immigrants, provides a diet of 120 million people, supplies vaccines by almost half of the children of the world, supports peacekeeping, human rights, elections and efforts to climate. ~ 60 > “UN seriously perceives its responsibility to the people to whom it serves,” the rider emphasizes. ~ h2 > what’s next working group. He will present his proposals to the Secretary General. The first recommendations for effectiveness in the secretariat are expected by the end of June, and the report on the mandates in July. Then the proposals will be sent to member states that will have to decide whether they want to launch the intergovernmental process. success criteria “Success is a system that can actively act, restoring the trust of multilaterally,” says he says Ryder. – A system that convincingly proves that it should be invested in it as in the best tool for solving global problems. ”~ 60 > for him this is a matter of trust, effectiveness and ability to adapt. “If we believe that multilaterality is the best tool, then we must make this system as effective as possible,” he concludes.
