The UN Secretary-General and the Security Council
The United Nations Secretary-General and the United Nations Security Council spend significant amounts of time on their relationship with each other. They rely on each other for such important activities as peacekeeping, international mediation, and the formulation and application of normative standards in defense of international peace and security - in other words the executive aspects of the UN's work.

Although there exists today an impressive body of literature on the development and significance of the Secretariat and the Security Council as separate organs, an important gap ...

The European Union's Role at the Millennium Review Summit
The Millennium Review Summit, in September 2005, will see the UN heads of state and government reviewing how the United Nations can deliver freedom from want, fear and oppression for all the world's peoples. Four agendas will be addressed: development; security; human rights and democracy; and reform of the UN institutions. This report looks at the EU's role in the United Nations, and at what the EU can do to make a successful outcome at the Review more likely. The Committee praises the EU's policies on increasing development aid, and on the responsibility to protect in cases of genocide, ethnic cleansing and other crimes against humanity. Other areas where the EU and the British government should strive for progress at the Review are: the strategy against terrorism; nuclear non-proliferation; supporting the Secretary-General's proposals for reform of the UN institutions and secretariat.
