L’ONU ne tient pas sa promesse la plus fondamentale. C’est pourquoi la réforme est au cœur de ce processus. Pour moi, la réforme consiste à faire en sorte que l’ONU remplisse efficacement sa mission fondamentale, qui est de maintenir la paix.  Lorsqu’a eu lieu la dernière élect…Mostrar mais

Las Naciones Unidas no están cumpliendo con su promesa más fundamental. Por eso, su reforma es esencial en este proceso.    Para mí, la reforma consiste en hacer que las Naciones Unidas sean eficaces en la labor para la cual fueron creadas. Esa labor es la paz. Durante la últim…Mostrar mais

“How does the United Nations choose the person who will speak in the name of ‘We the Peoples’?” A line from a recent @Diplo_Watch essay on how the next Secretary-General is chosen, and on what the office is for. Worth reading in full: diplomaticwatch.com/the-arithmetic-of-powe...Mostrar mais

The United Nations is not delivering on its most fundamental promise. This is why reform is at the heart of this process. For me, reform is about enabling the United Nations to be effective at the job it was created to do. That job is peace. When the last Secretary-General race…Mostrar mais

1/2 I am grateful for the support received from UN Security Council members. Reported results again place me ahead, with consistent backing since July’s first vote. I will keep working with every member to build the consensus needed.

“I think that the UN has become too risk-averse. You are the one that has to take the cost of rejection, the cost of failure, and try again. That’s the job of the UN.” “Some consolidation and rethinking of how to carry a mandate is necessary in many of the fields that have been…Mostrar mais

Bureaucracies are risk-averse by nature, so leadership has to bring risk into the equation: the only failure the United Nations cannot afford is not trying. Peace operations need focused, realistic mandates, and member states and the Secretariat need enough trust to tell each oth…Mostrar mais
