10月19日,国际发展项目本学年第一场讲座将正式开讲。北京外国语大学党委副书记、副校长贾文键教授,联合国助理秘书长、联合国训练研究所所长Nikhil Seth先生将出席开班仪式并为国际发展项目致词。第一模块第一讲具体信息详见预告,后续讲座信息将在北京外国语大学国际组织学院微信公众号陆续公布,欢迎对国际组织工作与联合国研究感兴趣的同学扫描下方二维码报名参加讲座。

Abstract

The United Nations is part of the UN system, which, in addition to the UN itself, comprises many funds, programs and specialized agencies, each of which have their own area of work, leadership and budget. The programs and funds are financed through voluntary contributions; the Specialized Agencies are independent international organizations funded by both voluntary and assessed contributions. The UN coordinates its work with these separate UN system entities to achieve its goals.

The expert will share her outstanding expertise in explaining the details of the UN Charter: the founding document of the UN. It was signed on 26 June 1945, in San Francisco, at the conclusion of the United Nations Conference on International Organization and came into force on 24 October 1945. Since the UN's founding in 1945, the mission and work of the Organization have been guided by the purposes and principles contained in its founding Charter, which has been amended three times in 1963, 1965, and 1973. The UN Charter is an instrument of international law, and UN Member States are bound by it. It codifies the major principles of international relations, from sovereign equality of States to the prohibition of the use of force in international relations.
