The Role of the UN Security Council and Regional Organizations The UN Security Council (UNSC) is one of the five principal organs of the United Nations. It is responsible for maintaining international peace and security. The UNSC has veto power for its member states, which allows them to reject or approve its resolutions. Regional organizations are organizations that include groups of countries located in the same region. These organizations often aim to promote regional cooperation, peace, and security. The Role of the UN Security Council The UNSC has a wide range of responsibilities, including: Maintaining international peace and securityPreventing and resolving armed conflictsProviding humanitarian assistanceEnforcing international lawThe UNSC has the authority to take a variety of actions to fulfill its responsibilities, including: Imposing sanctionsProviding peacekeeping forcesEstablishing tribunalsThe UNSC has been criticized for its inability to prevent some major conflicts, such as the Syrian Civil War. However, it has also played a role in resolving some conflicts, such as the conflict in Sierra Leone.

Drawing on the cases of South Africa, East Timor, Sierra Leone, and the Solomon Islands, examines how Truth and Reconciliation Commissions (TRCs) have engaged with youth in ways that represent their stories and reflect their substantive participatory capacity as political stakeholders.

This report evaluates the potential for further escalation in the war in Ukraine, including possible escalation to Russian nuclear use, to better inform U.S. and allied decisions and the public debate.

The world is beset with enormous problems. And as a nonprofit, NGO, foundation, impact investor, or socially responsible company, your organization is on a mission to solve them. But what exactly should you do? And how will you know whether it's working? Too many people assume that good intentions will result in meaningful actions and leave it at that. But thanks to Marc Epstein and Kristi Yuthas, social impact can now be evaluated with the same kind of precision achieved for any other organizational function. Based on years of research and analysis of field studies from around the globe, Epstein and Yuthas offer a five - step process that will help you gain clarity about the impacts that matter most to you and will provide you with methods to measure and improve them. They outline a systematic approach to deciding what resources you should invest, what problem you should address, and which activities and organizations you should support. Once you've made those decisions, you can use their tools, frameworks, and metrics to define exactly what success looks like, even for goals like reducing global warming or poverty that are extremely difficult to measure. Then they show you how to use that data to further develop and increase your social impact. Epstein and Yuthas personally interviewed leaders at over sixty different organizations for this book and include examples from nearly a hundred more. This is unquestionably the most complete, practical, and thoroughly researched guide to taking a rigorous, data - driven approach to expanding the good you do in the world.

These proceedings reflect discussions among U.S., Russian, and European Union nongovernmental experts who were convened in 2020-2021 to discuss mutual concerns regarding political interference and to find common ground on measures to address them.

RAND researchers hosted a subject matter expert workshop, supplemented by an in-depth literature review, to determine proposed courses of action to reduce security threats from and meet international standards for prisons holding presumed former Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) fighters. The prisons are insecure and require physical reinforcements, otherwise they will continue to present a danger to the region and world given their potential for fueling an ISIS resurgence. Prisoners, including youth, remain in legal limbo with no internationally agreed-on justice procedures or specific legal charges, potentially leading to indefinite detention in poor living conditions. RAND's research and discussions revealed that the situation of the ISIS prisoners carries four problems and risks that can be mitigated through both short-term courses of action and medium-term policy directions.

Hvornår har du sidst oplevet, at demokrati føltes godt?Der var engang, hvor Andreas ikke troede på, at demokrati overhovedet kunne føles godt. Det føltes som en tilskuersport, hvor han stod på sidelinjen uden at kunne overskue, hvordan han selv kunne deltage. Uden tro på, at der var plads til ham og hans engagement.Men demokrati er en deltagersport. Det er ligesom at cykle, svømme eller spille fodbold. Det skal føles med hele kroppen. Og ligesom at dyrke sport, så kan demokrati faktisk føles godt – og ikke bare fordi man vinder eller får sin vilje. Men fordi dét at være i et demokratisk fællesskab fyldt med samhørighed, stolthed, magt og håb kan være noget af det stærkeste, vi kan opleve som mennesker. Alt dette har Andreas oplevet på sin egen krop. Og i denne bog fortæller han om sin egen dannelsesrejse – fra at være demokratisk nybegynder, der egentlig allerede havde givet op, til at blive sådan én, der skriver en bog om som sine demokratiske erfaringer.Bogen er en samling personlige essays, der fortæller om seks forskellige fællesskaber og udforsker forskellige sider af demokratiets følelsesliv – fra at kæmpe med at finde sin egen stemme og føle sig berettiget til at bruge den, til at overvinde følelsen af magtesløshed ved at finde sammen med andre og skabe forandring.Andreas Lloyd har gennem de sidste 15 år været en drivkraft i en række nyskabende danske borgerinitiativer, så som Københavns Fødevarefællesskab, Borgerlyst, Samtalesaloner, Medborgerne og den danske klimabevægelse.

The U.S. defense strategy and posture have become insolvent. The tasks that the nation expects its military forces and other elements of national power to do internationally exceed the means that are available to accomplish those tasks. Sustained, coordinated efforts by the United States and its allies are necessary to deter and defeat modern threats, including Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine and reconstituted forces and China's economic takeoff and concomitant military modernization. This report offers ideas on how to address shortcomings in defense preparations.

EPDF and EPUB available open access under CC-BY-NC-ND licence. Civil society organizations (CSOs) and non-governmental organizations have increased at the United Nations (UN) since the 1990s. Yet few studies discuss the notion of inclusion and what it entails in intergovernmental negotiations. This book delves into the UN's relationship with CSOs, exploring who participates in negotiations and how their input is integrated into ratified documents. Drawing on ethnographic research, the author uncovers the complexities of accreditation, participation, and the interpretation of CSOs' contributions. Offering a sociological analysis, she highlights the increased exclusion of CSOs despite their apparent inclusion in institutions of global governance unbounded to public accountability. Leah R. Kimber examines the practices of exclusion CSOs are subjected to in UN negotiations by opening the machinery of intergovernmental negotiations in light of the UN's future and legitimacy.

Los factores de empuje que existen en determinados países llevan a que un gran número de personas decidan emprender un viaje en busca de mejores condiciones de vida y, en muchos casos, el país donde llegan o por donde entran a Europa es España. La interpretación social o para los servicios públicos es una modalidad de interpretación que permite que estos inmigrantes puedan tener acceso a información y servicios públicos, como la educación, la sanidad, los programas de acogida que tienen muchas ONG, la justicia y los trámites relativos a la protección internacional. Esta monografía recoge las características de estos servicios públicos y ONG en las que pueden desempeñar su trabajo los intérpretes, facilitándoles información para contextualizar sus intervenciones y proponiendo algunas acciones formativas.

The authors of this analysis draw on lessons from relevant historical examples of post-war and post-natural disaster reconstruction to provide insights on how to organize, finance, and provide security for Ukraine's reform and reconstruction.

Die Wetterprognose lautet heiß und stürmisch. Das Tief der sozialen Krise bedroht viele Menschen im Land. Das Hoch der Klimaerhitzung nagt an unseren globalen Lebensgrundlagen. Die Zeit (b)rennt. Armutsbetroffene sind vom Klimawandel weitaus stärker betroffen als einkommensstärkere Gruppen. Während Erstere weniger zur Klimakrise beitragen, bekommen sie die Auswirkungen der Umweltbelastungen wie die Verknappung der natürlichen Ressourcen, Luftverschmutzung, Hitze, Überschwemmungen oder Dürre deutlicher zu spüren. Klimaschutz kann nur dann erfolgreich sein und Akzeptanz finden, wenn er nicht sozial blind ist. Klimaschutz selbst muss Armut bekämpfen.Die Autor*innen dieses Bandes behandeln große sozial-ökologische Problemfelder des Klimawandels, diskutieren Dimensionen der sozial-ökologischen Transformation und thematisieren Lösungsansätze in den Bereichen Ernährung, Mobilität oder Wohnen.

As outer space becomes more congested, contested, and competitive, the risks to space safety, security, and sustainability heighten. Against this backdrop, the authors used a review of relevant literature and official documents, as well as interviews and workshops with subject-matter experts, to identify possible lessons for future space traffic management (STM) from past approaches to international traffic management and common resource management and offer recommendations to make progress in STM. Lessons from the history of the maritime and air domains and the development and implementation of international organizations within those domains help provide a pathway for the development of an international space traffic management organization (ISTMO). An ISTMO will need to achieve sufficient legitimacy and operational power to effectively manage the space domain.

Whenever and however Russia's invasion of Ukraine ultimately ends, the U.S.-Russia relationship is likely to remain hostile in its aftermath. Over the long term, however, the United States will have incentives to reduce the risks and costs of its relationship with Russia in order to focus on other challenges, such as China. Future U.S. policymakers might therefore wish to again consider a limited less-hardline approach toward Russia. Supporters of such approaches contend that limited less-hardline approaches can reduce an adversary's insecurity, moderate its behavior, and reduce the costs and risks associated with competition between the two countries. Critics are reluctant to make concessions to U.S. rivals and worry that softening the U.S. stance could embolden a rival to become more demanding and aggressive. The authors used four historical case studies of limited less-hardline approaches with strategic similarities to the U.S.-Russia relationship before the war in Ukraine to evaluate these competing claims. These cases were (1) negotiations between Britain and Russia over Central Asia from 1899 to 1914 (2) U.S.-Soviet negotiations on the post-World War II order from 1945 to 1946, (3) the U.S.-Soviet dâetente from 1969 to 1975, and (4) the U.S.-Russia reset from 2009-2013. The authors found that such approaches have led to durable but narrow gains without emboldening the rival to be more demanding or aggressive. These limited policies also have limited effects. They only reduce a rival's threat perceptions modestly and do not prevent future deterioration of the relationship over outstanding conflicts of interest.

In 2015, the Old Fadama slum of Accra, Ghana was a government 'no-go zone' due to the generally lawless environment. Participatory action researchers (PAR) began working with three stakeholders to resolve complex challenges facing the community and city. In three years, they created a PAR cross-sector collaboration intervention incorporating data from 300 research participants working on sanitation. In 2018-2019, the stakeholders addressed the next priorities: community violence, solid waste, and a health clinic. The PAR intervention was replicated, supporting kayayei (women head porters) in Old Fadama, the Madina slum of Accra and four rural communities in northern Ghana. The process expanded, involving 2,400 stakeholders and an additional 2,048 beneficiaries. Cross-sector collaboration worked where other, more traditional development interventions did not. This PAR intervention provides developing-country governments with a solution for complex challenges: a low-cost, locally-designed tool that dramatically improved participation and resulted in projects that impact the public good.

This book makes a unique contribution to understanding the role of nongovernment organisations in promoting peace and development and gender issues in the South West Pacific.

"The Fortunate Few is first and foremost a book about the men and women who volunteered their time and skills to improve the lives of millions throughout the International Voluntary Services (IVS). Here, nearly one hundred of theses volunteers speak about their service years and the impact their had on third futures and the people they served, often at great cost to themselves. Nearly a dozen volunteer died, victims of the armed conflict that raged across Southeast Asia with the war in Vietnam. The effectiveness of IVS volunteers would eventually lead to the creation of a number of other international volunteer agencies including the Peace Corps"--

The Australian Council for International Development is the peak body of Australian international development NGOs. This book explores ACFID's history since its founding in 1965, drawing on current and contemporary literature as well as extensive archival material.

Non-state actors are not new, but they have never before reached their present strength. Among the plethora of non-state actors are thousands, if not millions, of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) which play a significant role in the global system and whose role is likely to increase in the future. The proliferation of NGOs is of such scale, scholars refer to it as a global associational revolution. By considering NGOs throughout much of the world, Kaloudis focuses on the reasons for the growth of NGOs particularly since the end of the Cold War, the functions of NGOs, assessment of NGOs, and their place in the global system. The author also shows the ambivalent and often paradoxical role of NGOs, which is reflected in the works of scholars and the actual behavior of NGOs themselves.

Russia has defined its national interests in terms of resisting the U.S.-backed European integration system, challenging or supplanting U.S. influence around the globe, and pursuing an "independent foreign policy" that could bring it into conflict with China at some point in the future. Under the conditions present at the time of this writing, a great power war with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is the most likely large-scale scenario for which the Russian military must prepare. How is it preparing? What is its strategy? The authors of this report identify and examine key factors to assess the orientation of Russia's military strategy. The factors the authors consider are the overall balance of power, Russian diplomacy with China, Russian views on the character of future war, and key trends in force readiness and mobilization. The authors also explore existing operational concepts to understand how Russia might execute that military strategy.

In a data-driven analysis of contemporary American attitudes, Dangerous Instrument examines the current state of U.S. civil-military affairs, probing how the public views their military and the effect that partisan tribalism may have on that relationship in the future. Michael A. Robinson studies the sources and potential limits of American trust in the armed services, focusing on the interplay of the public, political parties, media outlets, and the military itself on the prospect of politicization and its associated challenges. As democratic institutions face persistent pressure worldwide, Dangerous Instrument provides important insights into the contemporary arc of American civil-military affairs and delivers recommendations on ways to preserve a non-partisan military.
