UN Secretary -General Antonio Gutresh, under the UN 80 initiative, presented a proposal to make this world organization more efficient, well -organized and impressive.
The request or instructions for the steps issued by the UN Mahasabha, Protection Council and the Economic and Social Council are called mandate, which is a kind of responsibility. Their numbers have increased a lot since 1945.
Today, there are more than 3,000 mandats active, which is active in completing about 5 inter -government organizations. Overall, more than 27 thousand meetings are needed every year, and a content of about 2,300 pages is made every year. The estimated annual expenditure on all of this is $ 36 million.
A challenge increases its size
The same mandate directed the United Nations effectiveness in more than 5 countries and regions, with responsibility from peace to humanitarian assistance and development. However, many of these mandates, old or similar work, are included in many orders. Because of this, the complexity of these orders is increasing.
Since 2021, the average number of the Mahasabha proposal has increased by 55 percent, while the Protection Council proposals are now three times longer than 30 years ago.
General Secretary Antonio Gutresh told Mahasabha in a speech on Friday, “Let’s face information we cannot expect more impressive results without adequate resources. If we reduce our skills so much, instead of results, we will take risk to get involved”.
Lack of coordination also increases stress and increases. Many UN institutions, in order to equate different programs and budgets, quote equal order, which increases repeat and reduces its impact. There is no provision for review or completion of more than 85 percent of the mandate.
“Effective reviews are rarely seen, they are not regular. The same mandate is discussed in the current article with little change in the current article,” Antonio Gutresh said.
UN 80 Initiative: A systematic method
The Mandate Implementation Review Report published on July 5 is part of the UN 80 initiative of the General Secretary. It is an attempt to modernize the United Nations effectiveness, which has been working for many years.
In this report, instead of the mandates individually evaluated, a “complete” method was adopted, creating orders, considering the implementation and reviewing them, and advised to improve every stage.
UN Chief Antonio Gutresh told the Mahasabha, “Let me make it clear: Mandate is the job of Member States. These orders express your desire. And they are only the property and responsibilities of the member states.”
He also said, “This report respects that section. It focuses on how we apply the orders prescribed by you.”
Compulsory – from creation to implementation
This report suggests to keep the digital mandate register, to repeat the work and remove complications, so that it is easy to keep information about the mandate applied by different companies.
The report also encourages small and clear proposals with realistic resource requirements.
Report meetings and reports of the increasing management of the report. Last year, the UN system provided assistance in 2 27.5 meetings and prepared 5 reports.
Antonio Gutresh said, “Meeting and report need to be prepared. But we need to ask: are we using our limited resources most effectively?”
The availability and impact of money
The proposals presented in the report include reducing the number of reports and meetings in the world organization, flowing forms and ensuring relevance, when using reports.
The general secretary has called for a better adjustment to ensure that the work has been avoided in the UN organization, and it can be confirmed that every order is involved in clear consequences.
The report warns that the relevant implementation is weakening due to the availability of weak money. In 2021, 5 percent of the United Nations financed from voluntary contribution, out of which 5 percent was determined.
The general secretary said, “The impact of uncertain or scattered financing and scattered combination is also spread.”
“We all have some role in dealing with it and and we all should work at the level of our control.”
Privilege
In the general secretary’s view, improvement is not just about the process, but also about the impact.
He said, “The mandate is no destination in itself, they are the truth – in real life, in the real world, to give true results.”
He praised UN employees to play a role in the center of this effort.
The UN chief said, “Any work for implementing the mandate, our employees – the UN females and men – are not possible without men.”
“Their skills, dedication and courage are essential for this effort. If we have to improve the way of implementing our mandate, we need to support and empower those who implement them.”
Call from Member States
In the end, the UN general secretary emphasized that the next step should be accepted by the member states. “You have to decide on the way to move forward. My responsibility is the Secretariat, to ensure that you are providing the skills and information you need for the job.”
This report has invited to consider a timely inter-government process to advance the proposals to the member states and confirmed that this effort was successful in places where previous efforts have declined.
According to the report, the results will be more clever, consistent and dominant UN, which will be able to handle the program better and provide better services.
