The United Nations and Africa in a Changing World


Mohieddine Hadhri

This speech examines the close historical relationship between the United nations and Africa and the key role of the international organization during the struggle for independence. of African countries. The author focus on the UN diplomacy and strategy to address the dramatic regional political challenges and crisis that most African countries had faced after the independence from colonial powers : political instability , civil war , genocides etc. The paper also sheds some lights on the different mechanisms and tools used by the UN special agencies to provide economic supports for African governments over the last fifty years towards a better strategy of sustainable and human development, regional integration and economic growth .
In particulars, the paper critically examines the questions of democracy, human rights, good governance, and development in Africa. In hindsight, it offers a glimpse into the state of the world and Africa, which has since undergone profound transformation., it reflects the belief of the author in the concept of concentric circles of foreign policy interest, objectives and priorities, that is, extending to Africa, South-South cooperation and the rest of the world.
