第17回最優秀賞“The Role of the United Nations in the InternationalCommunity of the 21st Century”Richard Joseph PonzioAbstractThe United Nations of the 21 st century will confront an entirely new set of challengesunforeseen by the framers of the 1945 UN Charter. New issues of insecurity, globaleconomic instability, environmental decay, widespread poverty, and the heightenedimperatives of democratic governance and human rights are among the major, interlockingtrends that will define the global agenda for the next one hundred years.By examining the scale and nature of these critical questions, a fair assessment canbe made of whether the United Nations system is ready and capable of helping theinternational community to resolve some of its most complex problems in the decadesahead.The essay argues that the UN system is unquestionably ill-equipped for the dynamicpressures it has begun to encounter. Three particularly acute weaknesses in theworld body that continue to undermine its credibility include the anachronistic votingprocedures in the major UN organs, the multiple obstacles to close collaborationamong UN field-oriented technical organizations and the international financialinstitutions, and the erratic financing of UN operations by member states coupledwith the UN’s limited capacity for securing alternative revenue streams.19
