vloga generalnega sekretarja v Organizaciji združenih narodov

Abstract

Cilj članka je analizirati vlogo in pomen funkcije generalnega sekretarja Organizacije združenih narodov (OZN). Članek temelji na tezi, da neodvisno delovanje generalnega sekretarja pri oblikovanju in izvrševanju politik OZN prinaša določena tveganja, saj države članice, še posebej stalne članice Varnostnega sveta, niso pripravljene sprejeti generalnega sekretarja kot enakopravnega akterja. Izkušnje preteklih generalnih sekretarjev kažejo na precejšnjo mero nezaupanja držav do njihovega dela. To je v neskladju z zahtevami okolja, v katerem se nahaja OZN. V sodobni mednarodni skupnosti, ki postaja čedalje bolj konfliktna, obstaja realna potreba po generalnem sekretarju, katerega primarna naloga bi bila, tudi na račun interesov posameznih držav članic, aktivno krepiti vlogo in podobo OZN kot organizacije, ki je ključna za preprečitev nove svetovne vojne.

Secondary abstract:	The aim of this paper is to analyse the role and importance of the position of Secretary-General of the United Nations (UN). This article is based on the thesis that a high level of independence of the Secretary-General in formulating and implementing UN policies brings certain risks because member states, especially the permanent members of the Security Council, are unwilling to accept the role of the Secretary-General as an equal player. The lessons learned from past mandates indicate there is considerable mistrust in Secretaries-General. However, this is inconsistent with the challenges from the external environment the UN has to deal with. In the contemporary international community, which is becoming increasingly conflictual, there is a realistic need for a Secretary-General whose primary task, even at the expense of states' interests, would be to actively strengthen the role and image of the UN as an organisation whose existence is critical in any effort to prevent a new world war.
