(�� And so that mindset of, like, what’s in the toolbox and how do we help people is alive and well at the U.N. They are able to put in place coercive measures like economic sanctions and lift sanctions when change is secured, or when circumstances change. (�� (�� Gender is modern political policy. When I encounter people who have questions about the U.N., I encounter—and perhaps many of you on the call do as well—a surprising amount of misunderstanding, given how long this organization has been with us, 72 years now, going on. So I—so I recommend it to you. (�� The ISIS coalition lives very much outside the U.N. That’s an example, terrorism, where, you know, if you’re doing warfighting, you know, having a NATO foundation and, again, adding countries from outside NATO, that can be the right direction. So I think it’s hard to—on your second question—I think I have unsatisfying answers to both your questions. (�� (�� Our belief that when you have a country that is ruled a now-minority of the population, when such brutality is used to repress initially just political protest and then eventually a rebellion. So is there a way for the average citizen to really support the U.S. being a responsible actor and, you know, promoting a good world order? Global governance frameworks and their application to non-state actors have also been addressed by researchers and global governance bodies, such as the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross (International Humanitarian Law: Handbook for Parliamentarians N° 25 2016, International Committee of the Red Cross 2010, Casebook.icrc.org, n.d.). (�� (�� (�� And for all of you, our next call will be on Wednesday, October 11th at 12 p.m. with Shannon O’Neill, who is a senior fellow here at CFR for Latin American studies, and she will be talking about U.S.-Latin America relations. (�� So it’s deeply troubling and it’s a surefire way to provide a propaganda boost to the very terrorists we’re trying to figure, because they are using this show that we are anti-Muslim and to radicalize people and to bring recruits into their ranks. (�� . Add tags for "Global governance : defining the United Nations' leadership role : The Stanley Foundation's thirty-fourth United Nations of the Next Decade Conference : Adare Manor, Adare, County Limerick, Ireland, June 13-18, 1999.". (�� (�� I mean, these are countries that invest a huge share of the resources that get spent every year by the U.N., whether on U.N. kind of core infrastructure like the building, the headquarters, the salaries, the secretary-general and his staff, or humanitarian funding, or peacekeeping missions. (�� But it is just a pulpit, and he will be at his best and at his most effective when he can get the major powers to be going in the same direction. (�� (�� (�� (�� (�� (�� (�� (�� (�� POWER: Well, I’d say a few things. So it’s still a good deal, I think, for the taxpayer, given where these—the dangerous environments these peacekeepers go to. (�� The performances of individual organs of the UN, and its programs and initiatives discussed above have certain implications on the current pattern of global governance.The current level of effectiveness of the UN in global governance is best analysed through three individual spectrums: its role in maintaining international security, encouraging and facilitating global economic and social cooperation, and contributing to a greater level of environmental sustainability. Q: Or any other foreign policy for the future of the U.S. and the U.N.? Academic and Higher Education Webinars and Conference Calls. But when that kind of gridlock occurs on the Security Council, the principal organ that has been designated to deal with a crisis of this magnitude, a threat to peace and security of this scale, is just—it’s a no-show. It’s called “The Final Year.”. (�� (�� And we need to harness an institution that, when it works—which, again, is not as often as it should, but can deal with threats like Ebola, which cross borders, and can mobilize states to build norms together and then, on good days, hold those states accountable to those norms. So I’ll just give a very broad overview at the outset and, again, try to be succinct. (�� FASKIANOS: Good afternoon from New York, and welcome to the CFR Academic Conference Call Series. (�� (�� (�� <> From 2013 to 2017, she served as the 28th U.S. permanent representative to the United Nations, as well as a member of President Obama’s Cabinet. (�� (�� (�� (�� That all depends on who you ask and which UN department you are refering to, but the UN serves essentially as a large debating chamber for the countries of the world to debate and discuss the direction the world should take. (�� So to take the Security Council membership, if you—that’s one of the changes that one could consider, because the membership is kind of old school. (�� stream So too, you know, pulling out of the Paris agreement, when you have small member states at the U.N., you know, literally disappearing under water. What the U.N. is that I expected, with the U.N. as a stage where countries come together to be themselves, and they bring—they park their conceptions of their national interests, they park their values such as they are, and they advocate for them in one big scrum. The Role of Regions in Global Governance In today’s interconnected and globalised world, multilateral relations are no longer exclusively built on interstate dynamics. I think—I think that the U.N. as such has never made a great bumper sticker, you know, for lack of a better word. So we’re not there. (�� (�� But the way the U.N. will change will be when the countries that comprise it pursue policies within the international system that are more enlightened and look more to the medium and long term than to scoring political points on a Twitter feed. POWER: —Irina, and thanks to CFR for all of the work that you all do to try to sustain a constituency to even have a foreign policy in a time when people are quite tempted to turn inward and where our polarization is impeding constructive action, unfortunately, on a lot of fronts. (�� The United Nations Global Compact – which is a Global Public Policy Network advocating 10 universal principles in the areas of human rights, labor standards, environmental protection, and anticorruption – has turned into the world's largest corporate responsibility initiative. And the truth is, you don’t even get out the gate because the countries that China would wish to see on the Security Council and the countries that they would impede standing membership on the Security Council sort of ends the conversation almost at minute one. (�� (�� (�� Presently it forms an element of the post-Cold War global governance goals disseminated through the United Nations, so-called nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and donor or civil society organizations. (�� (�� This is all—the amount that anyone pays is deduced by virtue of a formula that takes into account your GDP and your per capita income and so forth. And so I think we were of the view—certainly, I was of the view in New York—I can’t speak for, like, the people in my government who speak Ukrainian and are, you know, Ukraine hands who were tracking this at a level of detail that I wasn’t in New York—but our view in New York was that the parties on the ground had forged their own compromise. (�� (�� Obama said, if we don’t deal with this at it—at its root, we’re going to have a major problem here and we’re going to see colossal suffering of a kind, you know, we’ve never seen before. (�� (�� (�� (�� (�� That’s where we’re going with this. (�� (�� And they see the United States doing what it’s doing and it’s, again, a sort of domino effect of the worst possible kind, which will just place, again, an even steeper burden on those countries which have much lower GDPs, much less of an ability, you know, to maintain such enormous refugee populations. (�� (�� (�� I thought that was a really weird way to describe you wanted peace. I thought we could begin by having you talk about the role of the United Nations in global governance, particularly during this—these tumultuous times. Encouraging the staff of Republican members of Congress and others, or even mayors, you know, to travel abroad and to see concretely what the—what the U.N. agencies are doing, or concretely what a foreign conflict and crisis looks like. Thank you very much—. (�� (�� But halting ISIS in its tracks, rolling that back, again, helps get us back, at least in one domain, on a more virtuous cycle where people think, oh, OK, international institutions can be a stage where countries come together. (�� I mean, just slashing, slashing, cutting—you know, just some bean counter with no regard for the interests that are advanced by investing, let’s say, in anti-HIV programs. (�� (�� But, A, this kind of almost—this theoretical model that, like, in game theory would reveal other countries stepping into the breach, because they recognize that it’s in their interest to see leadership and absent U.S. leadership they then say to themselves, oh, well, then it has to be ours. One on North Korea, with the gulags and so forth. (�� (�� (�� And the president said, OK, so, we—this isn’t going to be fun. Sources : Bastola M.K(2016), Global Governance: Bt Suppliers & Printing Press Pvt Ltd. Buddhanagar So we have a right and an interest in demanding more leadership and more certainly more followership from other countries, and more resources and more skin in the game. Institutionalizing global governance: the role of the United Nations Global Compact I’m going to try to speak quite briefly because I know how many young people and how many professors we have on the call have some, I’m sure, with their own very specific slice of interest as it relates to the U.N. or to U.S. foreign policy. And those constituencies—whether it’s General Mattis or whether it’s Lindsey Graham, the chair of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee that works on foreign assistance—you know, Lindsey Graham has more in common with Patrick Leahy, a liberal senator from Vermont, on questions of foreign aid and probably ultimately the question of whether to invest in alliances, than he has in common with the current president. (�� (�� (�� (�� (�� (�� Ambassador Power, thank you for being with us, for sharing your perspective and expertise with us, for your service to our country, and your amazing work as a journalist prior to going into government. (�� (�� You know, when you’re disappearing under water and the most powerful country in the world walks away from an agreement that is existentially important to your existence, I suspect the relations, again, with small countries who don’t have a huge amount of leverage in the international system, but nonetheless are votes, and important votes, on issues like Ukraine, where we denied Russia’s ability to formally annex Crimea and, you know, got 100 countries to vote with us. The best multilateral diplomacy starts with a small circle and then just adds—sort of tacks countries on. (�� (�� And so changing that, changing our leadership, having a leadership that live in the 21st century and understand that threats cross borders and that we need to understand the limits of these organizations, for sure, but in order to transcend those limits, not in order to sabotage the enterprise. (�� (�� (�� (�� 4 0 obj (�� And so I think that those questions that the American people—some share of the American people are asking on the right and left are very reasonable questions. (�� They have great bearing then on countries’ willingness, if you’re North Korea, to ever engage in a diplomatic process, to give up nuclear weapons, of course. Indeed, the role of anything international seems uncertain in this crisis. (�� (�� (�� I mean, you know, I don’t believe taking any problem immediately to the scrum of the large number of countries that comprise either the Security Council, 15, or the General Assembly, 193, that’s almost never the way to roll in international diplomacy. (�� (�� I wonder how long the U.N. would survive without the funding of the U.S. at its current levels? 2 The Policies of Gender. (�� (�� (�� (�� (�� (�� (�� (�� (�� (�� (�� (�� But fundamentally it’s those countries that make the U.N. work in service of what you might call global governance. (�� (�� So even when the U.N. is an actor in its own right, it’s at the mercy of the generosity of and the investments made by countries like ours. Q: Hi. But seriously, how long would a hold back of funds from U.S. take before it did serious damage to the United Nations? endobj Because I think you’ll start to see China sensing an opening, and having a very different conception of what the U.N. should be in the 21st century. Everything else was really quite mild. Recent research shows the extent to which Southern agency has been a genuine but essentially ignored source of global norms (Helleiner 2014). You know, like, choose your option there, and preferable do all three, and have a defense budget commensurate with the threats of our time. That’s terrible. $4�%�&'()*56789:CDEFGHIJSTUVWXYZcdefghijstuvwxyz�������������������������������������������������������������������������� ? Second, UN economic bodies, specifically the UN Economic and Social Council, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, must be reformed to the point where they can serve their original mandates. (�� (�� (�� (�� I mean, there’s a way—as frustrating as it can be, and I know first-hand from eight years of working U.N. issues, four of which were as ambassador representing this amazing country—you know, the—other countries would be—there are some countries that would just be thrilled by that prospect, right? And we looked at this under the Obama administration. But the notion that we can just walk away and then think that other countries are going to fill that vacuum, which I think is, at least as you’ve articulated, the theory part of the conception—it’s just not going to happen. (�� (�� The Role of the United Nations in Global Economic Governance Global economic policy issues are often addressed by specialized multilateral agencies in a fragmented, incoherent and inconsistent manner and often with failures in relation to certain areas of global policy – particularly in trade and finance – that have broader implications for the multilateral system as a whole. I’m Irina Faskianos, vice president for the National Program and Outreach here at CFR. (�� During the Ukraine crisis, you said at the U.N. that the Ukrainian leader had fled. So there’s something, I suppose, they would deem positive about that. POWER: Well, as it relates to the issue of Israel, the U.N. is just a very toxic environment to deal with the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. (�� It’s from 1945. No one talks like that anymore. But countries that don’t see the world the same way we do, like China, would have open season to shape the 21st century world order. A lot of leaders don’t want to push political water uphill either, right, and know that there’s fear there, and that—and there’s demagoguery, and a lot of legitimate fears, and a lot of very false claims that are—that are out there. The leading institution in charge of global governance today is the United Nations. (�� So you work behind the scenes. (�� (�� I think, you know, the contrast between President Obama’s approach to international institutions and multilateralism, collective security and the current administration is very stark and very dramatic. (�� (�� In recent years, the United Nations and its agencies have played an increasingly significant role in promoting global governance, particularly in the area of economic and social affairs. (�� (�� The United Nations General Assembly has adopted its latest resolution on the interaction between the United Nations, parliaments and the IPU. (�� But what I think R2P—the legacy of R2P is that in a way that was not the case at all in the early 1990s and certainly throughout the Cold War, is when atrocities are being committed against civilians—and especially when they’re committed by a government—that used to be, like, end of conversation at the U.N. People would just say, oh, well, you know, if a government is doing it that it’s problem. But by the same token, we don’t want to just go in, as China does, and cut all the human rights posts, you know, from U.N. missions in order to—they say to save money, but really they just want to do away with human rights posts. (�� For thirty years we have convened this conference series to address a wide variety of issues related to the United Nations and global governance. (�� (�� (Laughter.) (�� Then, at the moment things were not tracking at all and the president fled—disappeared initially and then—and, you know, sort of it was announced that he had fled, at that point, then, the crisis, I think, was underway. (�� (�� (�� And I know that the United Nations addressed some of those, but I happen to be a divorce lawyer. (�� You know, the decision to situate the U.N. within the United States is a major strategic advantage for the United States, right? It gives permission that they’re looking for. FASKIANOS: That sounds great. It’s not the world that’s in our interest to inhabit. (�� (�� (�� (�� The secretary-general is an actor in and of himself. I’ve been practicing law now—I’m a graduate of Washington School of Law for 44 years. (�� (�� (�� (�� (�� (�� And I was inspired, in fact, to become an attorney because of Khrushchev yelling at the podium, pounding on the podium with his shoe, screaming, “ya khochu mira,” I want peace. (�� (�� (�� Other countries pay 72 percent. (�� (�� The share of those resources come from a very, very small number of countries relative to the broader membership. (�� And I think it was very important that in the effort against ISIL, starting with Obama and some of that progress has been continued, but the rollback of ISIL’s territorial gains were very, very important, most especially for the people living in those areas and for the threats that arose from those areas, but also because it showed that the countries comprising the international system could cooperate with one another, could stymie the flow of people and of money into terrorist hands. (�� So I think, you know, fundamentally the way to deal with the—you know, with terrorism in the region, with the security concerns that the Israelis have, with the need to end the occupation is through a peace process where both sides give. And if you approach it ala carte and just go to it when you need something—so, when you need sanctions against North Korea, which have been achieved and it’s very important that they’ve been achieved—and then look for enforcement of sanctions on North Korea, it’s not as if the actions you take, let’s say on the Iran deal, exist in a vacuum. (�� (�� (�� (�� (�� FASKIANOS: That’s wonderful. But I think people know how entangled we are with the rest of the world. The United Nations and the Future of Global Governance. So I just heard that, like, in the wake of the hurricanes they were doing, you know, really important work in the Caribbean. We couldn’t show up in Paris unless we knew what we and the Chinese were prepared to give and to sacrifice. (�� ���� JFIF ` ` �� C It addresses the (�� (�� (�� (�� (�� Dr. Deiss noted that, first, confidence in the UN as a facilitator of global governance must be reinvigorated. (�� Going right to China, getting India to make commitments and sacrifices on climate that they never contemplated making before, getting Europeans and other advanced countries into U.N. peacekeeping, getting defense budgets up. It was established on 24 October 1945. Sign up for a morning roundup of news and analysis from around the world. (�� (�� (�� But was no coincidence that the World Bank and the IMF and the U.N. are here in the United States. (�� Thank you for your service to our country and for talking with us today. There was a sort of confidence that in all circumstances, the world could be mobilized—when the world wasn’t mobilized to protect people from mass atrocities it was a collective stain on our conscience, and that there were circumstances where the world could be mobilized and could effectively intervene to protect people, even using military force. And it’s gone, first, because of the Iraq War. From 2009 to 2013, she served on the National Security Council as special assistant to the president and senior director for multilateral affairs and human rights.
