Improving Access to the UN by Youth
By Artur Talpa*
Abstract The United Nations (UN), established in 1945, represents the guarantor of peace, stability, justice, and solidarity between the world’s continents. In contrast to the literature depicting the UN as an organization facilitating dialogue between the world’s states, this paper looks at the organization as a mechanism for implementing creative and innovative solutions to global problems and improving the conditions of life for people. The seventh SecretaryGeneral of the United Nations, Kofi Annan, explained the reason why the UN exists as follows: “More than ever before in human history, we share a common destiny. We can master it only if we face it together. And that, my friends, is why we have the United Nations.” The importance of human capital, especially problem-solving, communication, and interpersonal skills, has increased in all economies, because of its successful application in practice. That is why, citizens of the world should energetically contribute and participate in the administration of our multinational community, using available and efficient means.
