ARI (Analisis of the Real Instituto Elcano) : International Organisations
The Chad Conflict, United Nations (MINURCAT) and the European Union (EUFOR) (ARI) ARI 20/2008 (Translated from Spanish) - 10/3/2008 Félix Arteaga The European EUFOR Chad/CAR mission, in support of humanitarian and police action for the United Nations mission in Chad and the Central African Republic, has been suspended until peace is restored to the region.
IMF Quota Reform: The Singapore Agreements (ARI) ARI 111/2006 (Translated from Spanish) - 1/12/2006 Santiago Fernández de Lis This document analyses the changes in the quotas of certain countries as agreed at the annual meeting of the International Monetary Fund in Singapore in September 2006, as well as the announced changes in their method of calculation within two years
The UN’s Fight Against Terrorism: Five Years After 9/11 ARI 83/2006 (Translated from Spanish) - 6.9.2006 Javier Rupérez This ARI describes and analyses the anti-terrorism measures undertaken by the United Nations, and more specifically by the Security Council, since the 9/11 attacks, and explains the problems that are hindering progress
Alliance of Civilisations or ‘Alliance of the Civilised’? ARI 41/2006 - 3.4.2006 Shaun Riordan The successes of the Alliance of Civilisations have been largely presentational. While the need for a new focus in diplomacy in the 21st century is undeniable, the Alliance of Civilisations does not fill the gap. It suffers both theoretical and practical problems, above all in its focus on the conflicts and differences between civilisations and their values, which could even worsen the global climate. However, instead of abandoning it, the Alliance of Civilisations can be reformed, especially by focusing on concrete problems and giving a greater role to NGOs.
Will the United Nations be reformed? ARI N 131/2005 - 11.3.2005 Soeren Kern The September 2005 World Summit offered an historic opportunity to reshape the United Nations to better confront a range of global threats and challenges. But the gathering failed to find a solution to the UN’s core problem: the lack of a global consensus on multilateralism.
Why Changing the Security Council Threatens Broader UN Reform ARI 106/2005 - 29.7.2005 Soeren Kern ARI 106/2005 - 29.7.2005 After a decade of informal
Can the United Nations Be Reformed? ARI Nº 200/2004 - 23.12.2004 Soeren Kern United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan on 2 December released his much anticipated report on internal reform. The report proposes to reshape the UN to make it both more effective and more equitable. It contains many sensible proposals that touch on everything from nuclear proliferation to looming pandemics. Nevertheless, most of the debate about the future of the UN revolves around the question of American power and influence. Indeed, the report includes proposals that set out to contain the use of US military force. This will play into the hands of powerful anti-UN voices in American politics, with the effect that few if any of the reform proposals will be implemented
Latin America and human rights in Cuba ARI Nº 75/2004(Translation from Spanish) - 5.5.2004 Carlos Malamud Meeting at its Geneva headquarters on April 15, the United Nations Human Rights Commission voted in favour (22 to 21, with 10 abstentions) of a resolution on the state of human rights in Cuba. Like every year, it was one of the key moments at the meeting of the Commission, which once again confronted the governments of Washington and Havana. The Latin American vote was decisive
Iraq under Inspection ARI Nº 3-2003 - 10.1.2003 (Translation from spanish) Manuel Coma The Bush Administration has subjected its plan to strip Saddam Hussein of his weapons of mass destruction to a twin compromise, part domestic, part international. This led to the adoption of resolution 1441. The weapons inspection provided for in that resolution is unlikely to achieve anything unless it finds Iraqui defectors prepared to risk sharing their knowledge or is given classified information from the intelligence services
NATO After Prague: New Missions, New Capabilities ARI Nº 112-2002 - 2.12.2002 William Hopkinson NATO has always had both military and political functions. Even if NATO is to die some of them will still need to be conserved. The important thing is to be clear which, and why. The Prague Summit has not helped much with that.
Spain in the Security Council of the UN ARI Nº 108-2002 - 28.11.2002 (Translation from spanish) Rafael Dezcallar On September 27th, Spain was elected for the fourth time to a non-permanent seat in the Security Council of the United Nations. The event is as important as the circumstances that surrounded it.
The United Nations: Iraqi obligations ARI Nº 63-2002 - 9.10.2002 (Translation from spanish) Carlota García Encina and Alicia Sorroza Blanco Eleven years ago, after the Gulf War, the United Nations proposed the disarming of Iraq in order to avoid new risks to international security. This objective has still not been accomplished due to the systematic violation of the obligations imposed on the Government of Iraq, and which have been contained in the numerous resolutions adopted by the Security Council. With respect to the current debate on the legitimacy and the legality of an eventual attack on Iraq, it is essential to be familiar with the obligations that have been imposed on the Iraqi regime to date.
Russian domestic reaction to the Russia-NATO Council and its consequences for Putin's pro-Western policy ARI Nº 46-2002 - 7.9.2002 Sonia Alonso Sáenz de Oger Many analysts agree that the creation of the Russia-NATO Council has left Vladimir Putin isolated at home, hostage of his foreign policy and security establishments, without qualified and willing people to make it succeed and with public opinion suspicious, if not directly afraid, of the Western threat.
