2015 Annual Meeting: The UN at 70



Guaranteeing Security and Justice


June 11-13, 2015 | The Hague

Conference thematic agenda
On 25 June, 1945 at the San Francisco Opera House, the final full session of delegates to the United Nations Conference on International Organization met and stood – literally as well as figuratively – together to signal their unanimous approval of the Charter of the United Nations. The next day, on 26 June, States’representatives signed both the UN Charter and the Statute of the International Court of Justice, although the Charter would not enter into force until 24 October, 1945.

Today, just as the nature and scope of the UN system’s activities have expanded greatly since 1945, so too security and justice and their intersection in global governance are taken to include a far wider array of concerns than were debated in San Francisco. Preventing and resolving conflicts, promoting international peace, and pursing new norms of global justice now also can involve issues of sustainable development, economic crisis management, climate change, human rights and gender, the rule of law and transitional justice, as well as conflict management and resolution. From wars and crises in Ukraine, Syria, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Gaza, to promoting efforts to prevent and stop violence against women everywhere, to highlighting the plight of small island states facing climate change-induced rises in sea levels, and responding to cross-border financial shocks, the UN system is called on frequently by Member States, NGOs and civil society organizations to assist or even to lead in global efforts to understand and address these problems.

Arab Spring and Global Democratic Governance Dilemma :



Assessing the New Challenges of Reformism and Democratic transition in Tunisia


Prof Dr Mohiedine Hadhri

Abstract

The objectives of this paper proposal are :
Firstly to shed some lights, provide elements of analysis and reflection on the advent of revolutions in the Arab World in terms of absence of democratic institutions and political reforms, lack of transparencies, economic mismanagements etc.
Secondly, our purpose is also to question the current process of political uprisings, the challenges the Arab societies are facing nowadays by institutionalizing and achieving transition to democracy, adopting global governance rules and practices in a way that ensures the participation of the entire spectrum of Arab societies. Hard realism is replacing the euphoria of the Arab Spring. The Arab world’s new policymakers are facing the double challenge of satisfying popular pressure for democratic governance and greater accountability, while introducing rigorous reforms to open markets and become more competitive.
Thirdly, this approach imply to focus on the concept of the global governance as universal paradigm and its regional impact and meanings in the Arab region through the case study of Tunisia considered today as reference political model in the Arab World .
