Recommendation for Reforms of the Co-ordination in the UN System

Abstract

Within the conceptual framework of the "financial co-ordination", in the present article, we analyzes approach to the problem of program(s) and budget co-ordination within the UN system, we have proposed a new model for co-ordination which has the potential of elimination of negative effects of the present mechanism of co-ordination in the UN system. This model is based on the idea of introducing a budgetary control mechanism into the UN inter-agency system by providing the UN General Assembly with a legal power to approve the regular (administrative) budgets of UN-related agencies (by amending paragraph 3, article 17 of the UN Charter). This amendment induces greater de jure and de facto binding power in all decisions relating to the program(s) and budget co-ordination within the UN system.
