What do you know about the UN in 2008? Take WFUNA’s end-of-the-year UN quiz to find out! Take the quiz here:
 “For WFUNA the further development and better implementation of human rights is a chief matter on its agenda. Our members actively discuss the whole range of issues and problems relating to human rights and their implementation. I can assure you that our member organizations convey their conclusions and requests to governments and to the UN. It is sometimes said that nothing is as strong as an idea whose time has come. The universal respect for human rights – as distinguished from national respect for human rights – is an idea that came to humanity only 60 years ago. It is still widely and tragically violated every day but it has also served as a powerful and effective tool to humanize the world. We must continue to use it fully to improve life for all in our global village”.
Hans Blix, Stockholm conference `Rights work' at Clarion hotel 6 November 2008

Data from WorldPublicOpinion.org
A poll of seven majority Muslim nations resulted in interesting findings relevant to the UN. Publics in all nations polled favor the Security Council having its own standing peacekeeping force (on average 64%), having the authority to go into countries to investigate human rights violations (average 63%), and having the right to authorize military force to stop a country from supporting terrorist groups (average 76%), or to prevent severe human rights violations such as genocide (average 77%). Not surprisingly, there is very high consensus (average 78%) for the UN to conduct its original collective security function of authorizing the use of force "to defend a country that has been attacked," though the UN has rarely played this role in recent decades.

According to the World Program of Action for Youth for the Year 2000 and Beyond, all UN member states should “include Youth Representatives in their national delegations to the General Assembly and other relevant United Nations meetings". By cooperating with their permanent missions at the UN, youth delegates have a chance to attend meetings and negotiations, and ultimately contribute to the drafting of resolutions on youth policies and programs.
This year the General Assembly hosted youth delegates from: Australia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Finland, Germany, Ghana , Jamaica, the Republic of Korea, Mexico, the Netherlands, Nigeria, Norway, Romania, Slovakia, Sri Lanka (Observer), Sweden, Switzerland, and Thailand.

Ms. Anke Green of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs was interviewed on the UN Program on Youth.

The Ministry of Communications of Azerbaijan signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Millennium Project to upgrade the government’s futures research capacity to support the policy planning process. The first activities are likely to include: 1) the production of alternative scenarios about accelerated ICT improvements for the region; 2) the development of a system to track changes in ICT around the world; and 3) the production of a State of the Future Index for Azerbaijan.

By Stephanie Alenda, Education Programs Coordinator
 The first UN-sponsored summit-level meeting to address key financial and relat¬ed issues pertaining to global development and international economic cooperation was held in Monterrey, Mexico, in March 2002. The six-part Monterrey Consensus that emerged from the summit is the most comprehensive and authoritative state¬ment of development principles to which both developing and developed countries have formally subscribed. Agreement on its thematic areas of domestic resource mobilization, private capital flows, trade, aid, debt and international systemic issues helped to close the post-Cold War gap between the North and South on economic and development thinking. Since 2003, the UN General Assembly has held biennial discussions on the Monterrey Consensus, and progress assessments have been made annually.

1) What is the objective and the strategy of the Financing for Development Office and how does it support UN initiatives such as the MDGs?
The objective of the Financing for Development Office is to provide effective secretariat support for the UN follow-up to the International Conference on Financing for Development, as well as the outcomes of other related major United Nations conferences, including the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The Financing for Development Office’s strategy has been to follow a multi-stakeholder approach. Over the last 6 years we have intensified collaboration and interaction with the major institutional stakeholders (the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the World Trade Organization, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development and the UNDP), the regional commissions and other intergovernmental organizations, as well as civil society and the business sector.

 Building Inclusive Financial Sectors for Development
UN DESA and UNCDF
Why are so many people and firms in developing countries excluded from full participation in the financial sector? That is the fundamental question that claims the attention of Building Inclusive Financial Sectors for Development, otherwise referred to as “The Blue Book”. This book is the result of extensive collaborative efforts and research by staff from the Bretton Woods Institutions, the UN and its various agencies, and multiple civil society organizations and networks. It offers a vision of what inclusive finance could be. It does not dictate policy prescriptions to realize that vision. The Blue Book is intended to be a guide and companion to national dialogues among relevant stakeholders that individual countries may wish to convoke to develop their own national strategies.

 Moving beyond the privatization debate - Different approaches to financing water and electricity in developing countries
By: Daniel Platz and Frank Schroder
This paper examines the question of how basic utilities such as water, sanitation and electricity can be used in the most efficient way in developing countries. If some of these are missing the poverty trap remains in these economies. The question is given, who can provide these utilities the best way? The authors claim that the privatization of these goods have led to disappointing results in the past decade. Policymakers need to answer these very significant questions. The paper uses case studies in this report.
