UNITED NATIONS: Targeted Strategies Could Help Boost U.S. Representation

Book Description
The employment of Americans in international organizations, particularly at senior and policy making levels, is a high priority for the United States, according to the U.S. Department of State. State believes that placing qualified Americans in these key positions allows U.S. citizens to become goodwill ambassadors for U.S. interests and values; brings the organizations a U.S. perspective on global needs; and provides international entities with management, administrative, and technical skills. While State plays a central role in promoting U.S. representation in the United Nations and other international organizations, it acts in collaboration with other federal agencies that have a direct interest in these international entities. To employ the nationals of U.N. member states in an equitable manner, several U.N. organizations have established employment targets for geographical representation. In 1991, the Congress enacted legislation 1 requiring the Secretary of State to report annually on whether U.N. entities with geographic targets 2 were meeting these targets. The Congress has continued to be concerned about the number of Americans employed by U.N. organizations, particularly in senior-level and policy making positions.

GAO-01-839 United Nations: Targeted Strategies Could Help Boost U.S. Representation

Pages : 109
Book Description
The United Nations (U.N.) and its affiliated entities face the dual challenge of attracting and retaining staff who meet the highest standards of efficiency, competence, and integrity while maintaining the international character of the organizations by ensuring equitable geographic balance in the workforce. Nevertheless, U.N. organizations have made slow progress in addressing U.S. concerns about underrepresentation, and, except for the U.N. secretariat in New York, the organizations with representation targets that GAO studied have not achieved equitable employment of Americans since 1992. Although the U.N. organizations are ultimately responsible for achieving fair geographic balance among its member countries, the State Department, in coordination with other U.S. agencies, plays a role in ensuring that the United States is fairly represented. U.N. organizations have not fully developed long-range workforce planning strategies, and neither State nor the U.N. agencies have formal recruiting and hiring action plans to improve U.S. representation in the U.N. system. Without these measures, the United States' ability to even maintain the number of Americans employed in the United Nations could be hampered.

Book Description
The congressional debate over United Nations funding focuses on several questions, including (1) What is the appropriate level of U.S. funding for U.N. system operations and programs? (2) What U.S. funding actions are most likely to produce a positive continuation of U.N. system reform efforts? This report tracks the process by which Congress provides the funding for U.S. assessed contributions to the regular budgets of the United Nations, its agencies, and U.N. peacekeeping operation accounts, as well as for U.S. voluntary contributions to U.N. system programs and funds. It includes information on the President's request and the congressional response, as well as congressional initiatives during this legislative process. Basic information is provided to help the reader understand this process.
