| Summary/Abstract |
Javier Pérez de Cuéllar’s death on 4 March 2020, weeks after he turned 100 years old, evoked the time of unparalleled peacemaking success that was his decade as UN Secretary-General. There is no room for invidious comparisons; we are not today where we were then. But as we watch the Sisyphean travails of some UN mediators, a modicum of nostalgia is understandable.

| Summary/Abstract |
Not only the United Nations, but the principal organs will also be celebrating their anniversary in 2020. This article explores how the UN Secretariat was run during the past 75 years. The institutional development of the secretariat of an international organization (IO) depends on the leadership displayed by the executive head and senior staff and on the political settings such as the constitutional leeway, the selection of its main functionaries, the conditions set for activities, and the allocation of resources. The better the secretariat is managed, the stronger the leadership capacity of the organization’s executive head will be; however, it may be questioned whether this same expectation regarding effective management can be applied to the UN. A handbook article about the UN Secretariat, written by competent insiders, is quite negative as it describes its existence as a lifelong “battle over its independent nature and an almost constant process of restructuring and reform,” with the reform issue being a recurrent theme in the media

| Summary/Abstract |
Gambia is very, very poor … they are kept down because of exploitation … [We need to be] against the exploitation of the poor by the rich—by governments as well as individuals. I think we can get somewhere if we keep that idea of being against … exploitation everywhere. It will be an awfully good thing for all of us.
