Journal Article
Forever Incomplete? Administrative Reform in the United Nations
2007
Overview
The new General Secretary of the UN, Ban Ki-moon, has identified administrative reform as a priority of his term, & even Germany attributes the transformation of the secretariat increasing importance, as can be seen in the appointment of UN-veteran Karl Theodor Paschke as special ambassador. The chances for success in management reform depend on effective internal & external communication, persuasion of member states & a majority of associates, as well as removal of saboteurs of reform. A look at the mixed record of Annan's administrative reform efforts provides a better understanding of the chances & limitations of future reform efforts. While there was visible advancement in some areas, including the new Ethics bureau, there was considerably less advancement in the areas of procurement, personnel, & examination of UN mandates, & many efforts fell victim to the new cold war between north & south. The overcoming of this rift is also a priority for Ban-Ki-moon, though it is unclear at this point how successful he will be. Adapted from the source document.
