A European-style United Nations
By Sandra Breka and Brian Finlay
BERLIN/WASHINGTON, DC Last September, on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the United Nations, the General Assembly adopted a landmark declaration affirming a commitment to “mobilise resources” and “show unprecedented political will and leadership”, in order to ensure “the future we want”. The so-called UN75 Declaration was an inspiring statement. But will it lead to meaningful change?
History suggests that it just might. After all, past anniversaries of the UN’s founding have delivered significant structural reforms. On the UN’s 60th anniversary, for example, world leaders established a Peacebuilding Commission to help countries in the transition from war to peace, upgraded the Human Rights Commission to a stronger Human Rights Council, and adopted the “Responsibility to Protect” doctrine to help safeguard civilians in conflict zones.
