********************************************
27th October, 2015 is the JAYANTI of MIRABAI (or Mira Bai or Meerabai or Meera), 16th century Hindu mystic woman premabhakti saint-poet and devotee of Lord Shree Krishna, was born on Ashvin Shukla Paksha (Asho Sud) Sharad Poonam (or Sharad Poornima) as royal rajput princess and a granddaughter of Rao Dudaji-the third son of Rao Jodhaji, who established the kingdom of Rathod Dynasty in Rajasthan with Jodhpur as its capital in the kingdom known as Jodhpur. Jodhaji gave his son Rao Dudaji a small portion of the Jodhpur kingdom. It consisted of several villages with Medta as its capital. Medta is about 60 kms west of Ajmer in the present Indian state of Rajasthan.
Rao Dudaji had two sons named Viramaji & Ratan Singh. Rao Viramaji had a son named Jayamal and Ratan Singh had a daughter called Mira, whose mother Vir Kuvari was the princess of Zola Rajput Sultan Singh.
Mirabai was born in Kudki or Kurki, a little village near Medta, in the year 1498. Her mother Vir Kuvari passed away while she was still about 6 to 7 years old. Her father Ratan Singh died in a battle defending the kingdom against the Mogul Badshah Akbar. Thus, Mira had experienced very little affection of her parents. However, Rao Dudaji, her grandfather, raised her with love. It is said that little Mira would play in his lap as he conducted the activities of his kingdom with his ministers and advisors. Meera was a beautiful child-princess and the beloved of everyone who came close to her.
As customary with royal families, Mira’s education included knowledge of scriptures, music, archery, fencing, horseback riding and driving chariots. She was also trained to wield weapons in case of a war. However, Mira also grew up amidst an atmosphere of total Shree Krishna consciousness which was responsible in molding her life in the path of total devotion towards Lord Krishna.
One day, Mira’s mother was combing her hair in a balcony of her palace. She was about 4 to 5 years old at that time. Mira saw a parade of the well-dressed bridegroom. There was loud music and dancing. Several beautifully clothed women as well as men were in gay spirits. Mira saw the procession and asked her mother about it. The mother responded that the bridegroom was going to get married.
Mira, the child, asked her mother innocently, "Dear mother, who will be my bridegroom?"
Mira's mother smiled and half in jest & half in earnest pointed towards the image of Shree Krishna and said, "My dear Mira, Lord Krishna-this beautiful fellow-is going to be your bridegroom."
Soon after, Mira's mother passed on. Mira took this seriously and started to regard Shree Krishna as her bridegroom from that moment on. As Mira grew up, her desire to be with her Krishna grew intensely and she believed that Lord Krishna would come to marry her. In due course, she became firmly convinced that Krishna was to be her Husband. Hence from the teen-age of about five, she nurtured the idea that Shree Krishna was her husband (or Lover) and manifested her deep devotion to God Krishna.
Mira now began to play with and think of Shree Krishna as her beloved Husband. One day a SADHU visited her family. Mira saw a beautiful little murti (idol) of Shree Krishna with the Saint. She saw the Sadhu held it very close to his heart, worshipped it, pronounced mantras in front of it, sang songs and even danced in front of it. Mira watched the Sadhu’s joy as he worshipped the Lord in that icon. She wanted to have that icon for herself. She insisted, like children often do, that she wanted to have that icon of Shree Krishna. She cried until Rao Dudaji requested the Sadhu, to give the icon to Mira. Dudaji promised the Saint, he would make arrangements to get him another murti. With a reluctant mind, the Sadhu gave the murti to Mira and taught her how to worship the God. Mira was delighted and paid meticulous attention to the details of worship.
Meera was soft-spoken, mild-mannered, gifted and sweet, sang with a melodious voice. She was reputed to be one of the most extraordinary beauties of her time with fame spreading to several kingdoms and provinces. Her fame spread far and wide. The most powerful and respectful Rajput King of Sisodia Dynasty, Rana Sangram Singh commonly known as Rana Sangha of Mewar (Chittorgarh), approached Rao Dudaji for Mira's hand in marriage to his son Bhojraj (also known as Rana Kumbha or Kumbha Rana). Rana Sangramsingh had four sons: Kumar Bhojraj, Rana Ratnasingh, Rana Vikramajit and Rana Udayasingh (Rana Udayasingh's famous son, Maharana Pratapsingh, later on created unusual problems for the Moguls in Delhi). Rana Sangramsingh proposed the marriage of his Prince Kumar Bhojraj with Mira thus tying a knot between the two most powerful kingdoms of the Rajputs. Unfortunately, girls had little-age say in their marriage in those days. Bhojraj also wanted to marry Mira for her pious nature and divine intent. Rao Dudaji agreed to the union. However, Mira could not bear the thought of marrying a human being when her heart was filled with thoughts of every nature, all about her Krishna. But unable to go against her beloved Dada’s word, she finally consented to the marriage. Mira was wed to Rana Kumbha and left for Mewar (Chittoragarh).
It was a well known fact that Mira had decided in her heart that she was already married to her beloved Krishna. After a forced marriage, she did what any wise young lady with true faith in Krishna would do; she refused to let Rana Bhojran to touch her because she considered herself already married. She was already the faithful bride of Lord Krishna. At first, nobody in the Sisodia family took Mira's strange behavior seriously. They hoped in vain that she would eventually give in knowing that no one dared to displease the mighty Sisodias. So a tussle began between the worldly and the spiritual, the tradition and physical power of the mighty Sisodias versus a gentle, beautiful Mira whose only defense was her true Love Krishna and the Supreme Lord.
After her household duties were over, Meera would go to the temple of Lord Krishna, worship, sing and dance before Lord Krishna Idol daily. Kumbha Rana's mother and other ladies of the palace did not like the ways of MiraBai, as they were worldly-minded and jealous. MiraBai's mother-in-law forced her to worship Durga and admonished her often.
But Mirabai maintained, "I have already given up my life to my beloved Lord Krishna."
Mira Bai's sister-in-law Udabai formed a conspiracy and began to defame the innocent Meera. She informed Rana Kumbha that Meera was in secret love with someone that she witnessed Meera talking to her lover(s) in the temple and that she would show him the persons if he would accompany her one night. The ladies further raved that MiraBai, by her conduct, had brought a great slur on the reputation of the Rana family of Chittorgarh. The enraged Kumbha ran with sword in hand towards Meera, but as luck would have it Meera had gone to her Krishna temple.
A sober relative of the Rana counseled him, "Rana! You will forever repent for your hasty behavior and consequences. Enquire into the allegation carefully and you will find the truth. Meera bai is a great devotee of the Lord. Remember why you sought her hand, out of sheer jealousy the ladies might have concocted scandals against Meera Bai to incite you and ruin her."
Kumbha calmed down and accompanied his sister who persistently took him to the temple at dead of night. Rana Kumbha broke open the door, rushed inside and found Meera alone in her ecstatic mood talking and singing to the idol.
The Rana shouted, "Meera, show me your lover with whom you are talking now."
Meera replied, "There sits he-my Lord-the Mahichor, who has stolen my heart."
She went into a trance. The ladies floated other rumors that Meera was mixing very freely with Sadhus. Meera was unaffected by such scandals and continued to invite Bhagwathas to join her Krishna bhajans at the temple. She stood unruffled in the face of accusations from the royal family. When questioned about her marital responsibilities, Meera responded that it was Krishna to whom she was married. Kumbha Rana was heart-broken but remained a good husband and sympathizer of Meera until his death.
It was obvious that nobody in the Sisodia family liked Mira's contradictory behavior because it put their pride at stake. There was persuasion; there were threats; there were attempts to cause her suffering and there were even attempts to kill her. It's well known that in the family life of such a clan most in-laws would take revenge on Meera for her disobedience and non-compliance. Her husband and father-in-law had a soft corner in their hearts for Mira, but not to the degree to approve her behavior, which contradicted their religious traditions.
It may be noteworthy that during the rule of Meerabai’s brother-in-law Vikramaditya, who became the ruler after the untimely death of her husband, she suffered vehement opposition from the Sisodias. A basket with a poisonous snake inside and a message that the basket contained a garland of flowers was sent to Meerabai. After meditation, she accepted it as a gift from Shree Krishna and miraculously found a lovely necklace out of it and no harm was done to her. The relentless Rana (her brother-in-law) sent her a cup of poison with the message that it was nectar. Meerabai offered it to her Lord Krishna and took it as his Prasad. It was real nectar to her. The bed of nails that the Rana sent transformed into a bed of roses when Meerabai reposed on it.
When all attempts failed to get rid of Mirabai, the Sisodias finally decided to send her to her parental home. Mira was always prayerful, humble, gentle and firm in her determination and didn't allow even the worst circumstances to interfere in her love for Lord Krishna. She left Chittorgarh, stopped in Pushkar to take a holy bath and reached Medta. The situation in Medta was not better; constant wars had created an uneasy situation and she could not stay there either. She finally decided to leave for Vrindavan (or Brindavan) where her beloved Lord Krishna had played with the Gopis and Radhika.
Jiva Gosai (or Jiva Goswami) was head of the Vaishnavites in Brindavan. Meerabai wanted to have Darshan of Jiva Gosai. He declined to see her. He sent word to Meerabai that he would not allow any woman in his presence.
Mirabai retorted: "Everybody in Brindavan is a woman. Only Giridhar Gopala is Purusha (Man). Today only I have come to know that there is another Purusha besides Krishna in Brindavan."
Jiva Gosai was put to shame. He at once went to see Meerabai and paid her due respects.
After Mirabai’s stay in Vrindavan, enjoying and reviving Gopi-Lila in her own way, she left for Dwarka in Gujarat. Lord Krishna, once the king of Yadava family, had ruled over Dwarka. On her way to Dwarka, she stopped at Dakor which was known for its Krishna temple.
Mirabai arrived in Dwarka and decided that her life must become one with her Lord. Mirabai was too absorbed in her Love for Krishna and having seen the vanity of worldly life, family life, friends and others, she had abandoned any hope to reconcile with the worldly. She was indeed one of the foremost embodiments of Premabhakthi that ever walked on earth. It is said that the Bhagwan Shri Krishan finally absorbed her in him (in the idol of Lord Krishna) at the Dwarka temple in the year 1547.
Meera Smrithi Sansthan (Meera Memorial Trust) along with the Chittorgarh district officials organise Meera Mahotsav every year on Sharad Purnima day (On Mirabai's birth anniversary) for 3 days. Many famous musicians and singers get together to sing bhajan's in this celebration. The 3 days celebration also features puja's, discussions, dances, fireworks etc.
Literatures composed and written by Meerabai :-
(1) Narasi Ka Mayara
(2) Geet Govind Tika
(3) Rag Govind
(4) Rag Sorath Ke Pad
(5) Meerabai Ki Padawali.
Meera is known for many beautiful bhajans that she sung in praise of lord Krishna. Few of the famous bhajan lyrics are as below :-
(1) Aisi Lagi Lagan, Meera Ho Gai Magan, Wo to gali-gali hari gun gaane lagi
(2) Paayoji Maine Ram (Shyaam) Ratan Dhan Paayo, Janam janam ki punji paayi
(3) Mere To Giridhar Gopal Dusro Na Koi, Jake Sir Mor Mukut Mero Pati Soyee
(4) Jo tum chhodo piya, Main nahi chhodu re, Tosai preet jodi Krishna, Kaun sang jodu re
(5) Barasai badariyaa saavan ki, Saavan ki man bhaavan ki.

********************************************
Ending Armed Conflicts in Africa: The United States has led efforts at the UN to address recent challenges on the continent.
Ø Sudan and South Sudan: On July 9, 2011, the Republic of South Sudan celebrated its independence. This action took place following months of intensified diplomatic efforts in the lead up to the historic, peaceful referendum on independence in January. Much of this work was accomplished working within or alongside the United Nations, including the 2010 high-level meeting at which President Obama delivered remarks to galvanize international action to ensure a credible and timely referendum.
In June 2011, the Security Council created UNISFA, a UN peacekeeping force responsible for monitoring the demilitarization of the Abyei area, has acted forcefully to prevent unauthorized military or paramilitary forces from returning, and has protect civilians and humanitarian workers. UNISFA successfully transformed a volatile flashpoint for war into a zone of peace and stability. In July 2011, the Security Council created UNMISS, a new UN peacekeeping force in the Republic of South Sudan, to consolidate peace and security and to help establish conditions for economic and political development.
When Sudan and South Sudan came very close to resuming full-scale war in the spring of 2012, the United States led the Security Council to adopt UN Security Council Resolution 2046, a binding Chapter VII resolution obligating the parties to take steps laid out by the African Union to decrease tensions. The United States has also led international efforts to push Sudan to provide humanitarian access to the Two Areas.
In Darfur, the United States remains deeply committed to supporting international efforts to end conflict there. UN-AU efforts in Darfur, most notably through UNAMID, are key to providing protection to civilians and encouraging parties to the conflict to comply with their obligations under international law.
Ø Ivory Coast: In 2011, the United States supported and advocated robust implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1975, which reaffirmed President Alassane Ouattara’s victory in an internationally recognized election in Ivory Coast and demanded that former President Laurent Gbagbo end his illegitimate claim to power. The resolution imposed sanctions on Gbagbo and his close associates and reiterated that the UN Operation in Ivory Coast (UNOCI) could use “all necessary means” in its mandate to protect civilians under imminent threat of attack.
Ø Somalia: The United States has led efforts at the UN to promote a path toward a more hopeful future in Somalia after decades of political instability, violence and famine. The election this month of Hassan Sheikh Mohamoud as Somalia’s new President signified the last step of the UN-brokered roadmap agreed to in the fall of 2011, and the end of the Transitional Federal Government. Key in this transition has been the role of the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) in confronting the al-Shabaab militia and allowing the political process in Mogadishu to take place. A critical component in this effort was Security Council Resolution 2036, which expanded the AMISOM troop contingent and created a ban on the export of Somali charcoal, an important source of revenue for al-Shabaab.
Ø Eritrea: In 2009, the United States supported the African Union’s call to sanction Eritrea for that country's role in destabilizing Somalia and the region and its failure to comply with Security Council Resolution 1862 concerning Eritrea's border dispute with Djibouti. As a direct result of U.S. and African leadership, the Security Council adopted Resolution 1907 to impose an arms embargo and targeted financial and travel sanctions on Eritrean officials. Then, in response to continued Eritrean intransigence, the Security Council adopted Resolution 2023 in December 2011, imposing additional sanctions on Eritrea and limiting its ability to continue to use the mining sector and the diaspora tax to fund its illicit activities.
Ø Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC): The United States continues to champion improved protection of civilians, especially by demanding an end to the epidemic of rape and gender-based violence, through the deployment of the UN’s largest peacekeeping force. The United States has continued to work to secure new Security Council sanctions against key leaders of armed groups operating in the DRC when needed, including for individuals linked to crimes involving sexual and gender based violence and recruitment of child soldiers. Additionally, in 2009, the United States led the adoption of UN Security Council resolution 1896 that supported, for the first time, due diligence guidelines for individuals and companies operating in the mineral trade in Eastern Congo.
· Providing Humanitarian Assistance: The United States is the world’s leading donor of humanitarian assistance through the UN system, maximizing the help the international community can provide in the face of humanitarian disasters. In just four major recent disasters, the United States contributed nearly $1.7 billion through the UN alone:
Ø Horn of Africa: When millions of people in the Horn of Africa suffered from drought and famine in 2011 and 2012, the United States provided nearly $900 million in emergency aid to UN agencies.
Ø Haiti: After the devastating earthquake of January 2010, which, in addition to the hundreds of thousands of Haitian lives lost, claimed the lives of over 100 UN personnel and the UN Mission’s leadership, the United States worked closely with the UN to help the Government of Haiti ensure security and deliver vital humanitarian relief to the people of Haiti. The United States has channeled over $150 million through UN agencies to assist the country with immediate life saving measures and to help Haiti rebuild.
Ø Pakistan: In 2010, the Government of Pakistan called for international assistance to respond to the tragic and devastating floods that began in July of that year. The United States responded generously to this request, providing nearly $360 million through UN channels.
Ø Sahel: This year, drought conditions in the Sahel have created a humanitarian crisis for the more than 15 million people facing food shortages in the region. So far, the United States has responded by channeling more than $255 million through UN agencies.
Upholding Our Values
•Human Rights: At the beginning of the Obama Administration, the United States joined the Human Rights Council (HRC) to fight for oppressed people around the world. While much work remains to be done at the Council, in particular ending its excessive focus on Israel, the Council has made great strides in speaking up for those who have suffered major human rights abuses and lived under the grip of the world’s cruelest regimes. We have also maintained active engagement in the UN General Assembly to highlight human rights abuses worldwide and to improve international mechanisms for defending human rights.
Ø Spotlight on the World’s Worst Abusers: With active U.S. leadership, the Council authorized international mandates to expose and address the human rights situations in Iran, Libya, Syria, Ivory Coast, Burma, North Korea, Cambodia, Belarus, Eritrea, and Sudan.
Ø Libya: In March 2011, with the Qadhafi regime continuing its murderous rampage against its own people, the United States spearheaded the General Assembly’s unanimous and unprecedented decision to suspend Libya from the Human Rights Council.
Ø Religious Tolerance: In 2011, the Human Rights Council, and later the General Assembly, took an important step away from the deeply problematic concept of defamation of religion by adopting a constructive new resolution that promotes tolerance for all religious beliefs, promotes education and dialogue and is consistent with U.S. laws and universal values. Previous resolutions adopted under the concept of defamation of religion have been used to rationalize laws criminalizing blasphemy and challenge widely held freedoms of expression and the press, rather than protect religious freedom and human rights.
Ø LGBT Rights: Last year, the Human Rights Council took historic action to highlight violence and human rights abuses faced by lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) persons around the world by passing the first UN resolution ever to be solely focused on LGBT persons, paving the way for the first ever UN report on the challenges faced by LGBT people. The United States also spearheaded an effort that led to a decisive victory in the United Nations Economic and Social Council, which voted to grant consultative status to the first U.S.-based LGBT rights NGO, the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission. We have since continued to fight for the accreditation of LGBT NGOs. In 2010, the United States led a successful campaign to reinstate a reference to “sexual orientation” in a General Assembly resolution on extrajudicial killings. And, the United States joined the LGBT core group – a coalition of likeminded countries - in New York.
Ø Internet Freedom: This year, the United States worked closely with Sweden and over 80 co-sponsors to pass a landmark internet freedom resolution reaffirming our longstanding commitment to freedoms of expression, association, and assembly.
· Millennium Development Goals: From the earliest days in office, President Obama made clear that the Millennium Development Goals were America’s goals, and set a course for the United States that would help the world achieve them. During the UN Millennium Development Summit in New York in 2010, the President
outlined the Administration’s Global Development Policy--the first of its kind by an American administration—that laid out the new U.S. approach and thinking guiding overall development efforts, including a plan to help achieve all of the Millennium Development Goals. The Administration is now actively working to shape a next-generation development agenda when the current Millennium Development Goals conclude in 2015.
•Women’s Equality and Empowerment: The United States has led efforts across the UN to empower women politically, socially, and economically around the world, to promote the role of women in preventing, managing, and resolving conflict, to combat conflict-related sexual violence, and to integrate women’s issues more fully into the work of the United Nations.
Ø Security Council Resolution 1888: In 2009, with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton presiding, the United States led the Security Council in unanimously adopting Resolution 1888, which strengthens the international response to sexual violence in conflict by establishing a dedicated UN Special Representative and creating a team of experts to assist individual governments in strengthening their capacities to address sexual violence in conflicts within their borders.
Ø UN Women: The United States was also instrumental in the establishment of UN Women, a new UN agency that combines four separate UN offices into one stronger, streamlined and more efficient entity working in support of women around the world.
Ø National Action Plan: In late 2011, the United States released its National Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security, which seeks to integrate women’s views and perspectives fully into our diplomatic, security, and development efforts, including by helping women engage in peace processes, providing assistance to NGOs focused on women’s participation, helping to integrate women into the security sectors of partner nations, and improving the UN’s capacity to combat sexual violence.
Ø Mexico City Policy: In one of his earliest acts in office, President Obama ordered the repeal of the global gag rule, which had prevented women
around the world from gaining access to essential information and healthcare services. This policy, known as the Mexico City Policy, had made it more difficult for women around the world to gain access to essential information and healthcare services.
· Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities: In 2009, the United States signed the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, the first new human rights treaty of the 21st century. This extraordinary treaty calls on all nations to guarantee rights like those afforded under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
· Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples: President Obama announced in 2010 the support of the United States for the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples after a comprehensive, interagency policy review, including extensive consultation with tribes.
· Keeping Our Fiscal Commitments: From the earliest days in office, the Administration worked with Congress to clear hundreds of millions of dollars in arrears to the United Nations, which accumulated between 2005 and 2008, and has worked to stay current with payments to the Organization.
Reforming the United Nations
•Economy—A Leaner UN: As the largest financial contributor to the UN, ensuring that U.S. funds are spent wisely and not wasted is vital. As we have worked to meet our fiscal obligations in full and on time, the United States has worked to contain the growth of the UN budget and consistently pressed the issue of efficiency and fiscal accountability at the UN. Ø Regular Budget Reduction: Last year, the United States and its international partners achieved a 5% reduction in the size of the 2012-13 UN regular budget from the previous biennium, the first meaningful cut in the UN budget since the 1990’s, and just the second in 50 years. Additionally, in 2009, the Administration successfully negotiated an agreement that held constant the share of U.S. assessed contributions to the United Nations.
Ø Peacekeeping Budget Discipline: Earlier this year, the United States successfully negotiated a lower price tag for UN peacekeeping of more than $567 million compared to the previous year’s approved budget by emphasizing management innovations, thoughtful downsizing where missions have changed, and shifting resources from overhead to operations.
Ø UN Pay Freeze: Earlier this year, after U.S. calls for action, the International Civil Service Commission effectively implemented a pay freeze for New York-based UN employees, while deferring a final decision on the issue until the General Assembly takes it up in the fall session, and we will continue to urge the UN to maintain the pay freeze at a time when taxpayers everywhere are facing greater financial pressures.
•Accountability—A Cleaner UN: The Obama Administration has made considerable progress in boosting transparency and advancing oversight and accountability throughout the UN system.
Ø Oversight and Accountability: The United States has consistently supported the United Nations Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) to be a strong and independent watchdog by securing the necessary authority and resources from the General Assembly and by blocking attempts to curb the authority and operational independence of OIOS. The United States has worked to improve the OIOS’ ability to more vigorously pursue fraud and misconduct by supporting a pilot restructuring of the Investigations Division in 2009 that was again renewed in May 2012. The United States also continues to work to put in place robust mechanisms to ensure accountability amongst its leadership and staff.
Ø Transparency: The United States successfully lobbied for the United Nations Children’s Fund, United Nations Development Program, the United Nations Office of Project Services and the United Nations Population Fund to make their audit reports publicly available on the internet—a new standard for transparency in the UN system. We are building on this success to empower the rest of the UN system, including the UN Secretariat, to do the same. The United States was also successful in instituting live coverage of all UN Committee formal meetings through webcasting.
•Integrity—A Respected UN: As a founding member, host country, and largest contributor, the United States has a particular interest in ensuring the UN lives up to its founding principles and values, and we have worked determinedly in that regard.
Ø Keeping the Worst Actors off UN Bodies: The United States has consistently led the fight against abusive governments seeking leadership positions at the UN. For example, in 2010, Iran launched a wholly inappropriate campaign to join the Human Rights Council and the United States successfully led efforts to block it. In 2011, the brutal Assad regime in Syria attempted to join the HRC and was also blocked by U.S.-led efforts. This year, the government of Sudan ended its campaign for the Human Rights Council in light of the U.S.-led international outcry over its entirely unsuitable candidacy. Similarly, in 2010 Iran was defeated in its efforts to join the board of UN Women.
Ø Promoting Accountability for UN Peacekeepers: The United States, for first time ever, prevented reimbursement for troops who have been repatriated for disciplinary reasons, including violation of the UN zero tolerance policy on sexual exploitation and abuse, and this year successfully negotiated the first-ever comprehensive review of civilian staffing to ensure that staffing levels better align with changing requirements as missions evolve.
Ø Defending NGOs at the UN: The United States constantly works to ensure that all worthy non-governmental organizations have access to the UN by gaining accreditation through the UN’s NGO Committee. In 2011, the U.S. fought to gain ECOSOC accreditation for the first Syrian- based NGO, the Syrian Center for Media and Freedom of Expression, amidst strong Syrian-led opposition.
•Excellence—An Effective UN: Because so many people depend on the UN for critical services, the United States has led efforts at the UN to ensure that the institution performs to the highest standards of excellence and delivers real results. For example:
Ø Improving UN Peacekeeping: U.S. leadership has been instrumental in the advancement of the Global Field Support Strategy, a sweeping reform of how the UN undertakes administrative and logistics support for UN field operations. Implementation of this initiative has already led to $250 million in savings in the current peacekeeping budget and will improve the quality, consistency, and efficiency of service delivery and strengthen the UN’s capacity to support complex field missions.
Ø Human Resources Reform: The United States continues to promote human resource reforms that ensure that the UN is getting the right person at the right place at the right time. U.S. leadership was instrumental in adopting landmark reforms in the General Assembly to streamline contractual arrangements within the UN, creating a truly global Secretariat, and to harmonize conditions of service for field-based staff across the various organizations in the UN system. The U.S. continues to call for the UN to improve its personnel management policies, particularly in the areas of strategic planning, career development, and performance management, while also advocating for measures to control the cost of personnel given the current economic climate, i.e. through the imposition of a hiring freeze.
While much work remains, the United States will maintain a course of renewed American leadership at the United Nations, addressing national security challenges, upholding our values and reforming the institution so it is better equipped to address the challenges of the 21st Century.
