Synopsis
|Agenda for Peace and the Boutros-Ghali Report, 1992-1993,| is the 10th study in the series on |United Nations Reform|. The series presents important change initiatives since the creation of the organization back in 1945 - each study is dedicated to a single effort; in-depth commentaries and official UN documentation are provided. The 10th study describes changes in the field of peace and security based on bold proposals in preventive diplomacy, peacekeeping and peace enforcement. The initiative was launched in 1992 after the end of Cold War by the new Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali at the request of the Security Council. The reform effort was a response to the dramatic changes in both the volume and nature of the United Nations activities and projected a more assertive United Nations. Although generally welcomed, not all member states were ready at the time to embrace the reform proposals. In particular developing countries were apprehensive about there being a hidden agenda for the United Nations being molded by the powerful into an instrument of the new world order. Developed countries, in particular the United States, rejected the proposal to establish a rapid reaction force, seen as an attempt to unduly strengthen the position of the Secretariat. Issued in June 1992, the report |An Agenda for Peace| (A/47/277-S/24111) and in January 1995, |Supplement to An Agenda for Peace| (A/50/60-S/1995/1), both by Boutros Boutros-Ghali are the centrepieces of this study. Also provided are two reports on the implementation of the reform recommendations (A/47/965-S/25944 and A/48/403-S/26450), together with three General Assembly resolutions and 17 Security Council Statements. The reform initiative resulted in marked improvements in United Nations policy, structure and procedures in the area of peace and security. In addition, some of the more daring proposals not approved, were subsequently taken up in later initiatives, at a time the membership was ready to embark on new reforms.
