The United Nations Executive Council 2

The following post is, again, directly off the UN Executive Council website in their own words. Read it carefully, and think about what they are saying

In the face of our 21st century-sized social and economic challenges, we can’t afford to take 20th century approaches. The New Era demands an overhaul. It demands new approaches and tough choices. The New Era demands a better and more effective oversight.

Quite the tall order!

But the leadership that will take us forward into the New Era already exists. All that is needed is a vehicle that will help our leaders serve mankind as one — putting the emphasis back in “United.” That new vehicle, as detailed in The 7th Sense, will be called The United Nations Executive Council.

There was a missed opportunity for effective leadership five decades ago when the UN established The Economic and Social Council. That body was charged, among other things, with the task of initiating studies and reports on international economics, social, cultural, educational and health-related matters, and co-coordinating the activities of the specialized agencies. This council could have devolved by now into what is needed today to usher in the New Era.

Another opportunity was squandered after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. The overwhelming outpouring of support and empathy for the United States later transformed into unease, irritation and even hostility.

The new body being proposed will have similar goals to The Economic and Social Council, but with far-reaching and loftier objectives. Most important, it will have real executive powers.

CLOSEUP ON THE UNITED NATIONS EXECUTIVE COUNCIL

Will supersede the Security Council, which will report to the Executive Council and no longer have veto power. The Security Council’s influence in world affairs will be watered down.

In order to promote a spirit of compromise, no one member of the UN Executive Council will have veto power.

The UN Executive Council will include the Secretary General of the United Nations. His role is not being supplanted, but buffered so that he will have a more meaningful and executive function.

The Executive Council will have three tiers:

First tier

Manned by a handful of people, mostly elder statesmen with name and track-record recognition, who will run the ongoing affairs of the council (technocrats will run the day-to-day affairs).

Meet on a weekly or bi-weekly basis

Second Tier

Leaders of the G20 countries.

Meet on a monthly basis: in person at least six times a year; otherwise via video-conferencing.

Third Tier

Leaders of the remaining member states of the UN.

Meet in person at least four times a year.
