This seminar examines contemporary issues in international organization reform. Typical of the specific issues considered are: (1) the goals and results of the 2005 proposals for reform of the United Nations contained in the High Level Report to the Secretary General; (2) concerns as to the legitimacy of Security Council law-making in the anti-terrorist and anti-nuclear proliferation areas; (3) management reform issues in the United Nations and affiliated organizations; (4) criticisms of the effectiveness of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund conditionality requirements; (5) concerns about the effectiveness of the representation of developing nations and about the panel decision-making process of the World Trade Organization; (6) current proposals for reform of the World Intellectual Property Organization to make it more responsive to international development concerns; (7) proposals for broadening of the G-8; and, (8) questions of the adequacy of international fora for negotiations on such topics as the development of international criminal law for dealing with terrorism, linkages of international trade and economic distribution issues, and relations between environmental concerns and economic concerns. The instructor is completing a book on human rights issues posed by international organizations; these are considered in the seminar, but the seminar also considers other reform issues.
