Podcasts about international organisations

International organisations have become major players in global affairs, with the European Union standing out as especially powerful. But the EU's decision-making processes often attract sharp criticism: requiring agreement among many states can cause paralysis, while overriding individual states raises concerns about sovereignty. This episode explores a new study that revisits how the EU has historically grappled with this tension, focusing on two pivotal moments—the Luxembourg Compromise of 1966 and the Paris Summit of 1974. The findings challenge long-held assumptions about the (in)effectiveness of decision making in the EU, and offer fresh insights into how the EU really works.Alan Renwick is joined by Dr Jonathan Golub, Associate Professor in the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of Reading, and our very own Dr Michal Ovádek, Lecturer in European Institutions, Politics and Policy here in the UCL Department of Political Science. Mentioned in this episode:Golub, J. and Ovádek, M. (2024) Informal procedures, institutional change, and EU decision-making: evaluating the effects of the 1974 Paris summit. UCL's Department of Political Science and School of Public Policy offers a uniquely stimulating environment for the study of all fields of politics, including international relations, political theory, human rights, public policy-making and administration. The Department is recognised for its world-class research and policy impact, ranking among the top departments in the UK on both the 2021 Research Excellence Framework and the latest Guardian rankings.

Strengthening the full implementation of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons necessitates a balanced implementation of all of its three pillars: nuclear disarmament, non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, and peaceful nuclear uses. However, the current geopolitical situation has exacerbated significant challenges in all of these three pillars. In his address to the IIEA Ambassador Klement discusses efforts to address those challenges, and reflects upon regional non-proliferation crises and his experience as a negotiator in the Iran nuclear negotiations. Speaker bio: Ambassador Stephan Klement is the EU Special Envoy for Disarmament and Non-Proliferation, a position he has held since February 2024. From 2019 to 2023, Ambassador Clement served as EU Head of Delegation to the International Organisations in Vienna.

The term ‘fragility' is used to describe various complex challenges including protracted conflicts, weak state capacity, and vulnerability to climate-related shocks.Development progress has been the hardest in these contexts. But the landscape is changing, with new development players emerging – notably in the private sector. Private capital is reaching frontier economies (those in low- and middle-income countries impacted by so-called fragility), fuelled by an impact investing market of more than $1 trillion.Ahead of next week's World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, this episode examines who is shaping this new vision of development in frontier markets. Guests dissect the innovative approaches and collaborations needed to strengthen development efforts in areas affected by conflict and instability.Guests Sara Pantuliano (host), Chief Executive, ODI GlobalJake Cusack, Co-Founder and Managing Partner, CrossBoundary GroupHeike Harmgart, Managing Director for Sub-Saharan Africa, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD)Andrej Kirn, Head of International Organisations and Humanitarian Agenda, World Economic ForumSurer Mohamed, Research Fellow, Politics and Governance programme, ODI GlobalRelated resourcesHumanitarian and Resilience Investing Initiative (World Economic Forum)Mobilising European Institutional Investors into Emerging Markets and Developing Economies: three critical areas to address (Insight, ODI Global)Trillions or billions?

Summary Nigeria's official population (~220-230 million) may be significantly inflated and could be closer to 170 million This overcount is likely driven by political and financial incentives for states I'm unsure of the implications if this is accurate If states have uniformly inflated populations than the distribution of resources could still be divided evenly Nigeria would still be the biggest country in Africa and companies/governments/NGOs would have similar cost benefit analysis for working and investing there This is a very shallow investigation Why did I bother looking into this? The below text sparked an investigation into Nigeria's population claims. It was slightly hidden in the 4th section in one of Yaw's excellent Substack posts. Yaw went onto explain his reasoning for thinking the population was much lower than current estimates. Nigeria is a large country with no deep shared history among the different tribes.

The Hersch Lauterpacht Memorial Lecture is an annual lecture series given in Cambridge to commemorate the unique contribution to the development of international law of Sir Hersch Lauterpacht. These lectures are given annually by a person of eminence in the field of international law and a revised and expanded version of the lectures is usually published in the Hersch Lauterpacht Lecture Series by Cambridge University Press. The lecture comprises three parts, delivered on consecutive evenings, followed by a Q&A session on the fourth day. The 2017 Hersch Lauterpacht Memorial Lecture series, entitled 'Privatisation Under and Of Public International Law' was delivered at the Lauterpacht Centre for International Law, University of Cambridge, by Professor Anne Peters, Director at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative Public Law and International Law Heidelberg , from Tuesday 7 to Friday 10 March 2017. This part, entitled 'The Privatisation of International Organisations', is the second of the three lectures given.

It's a bleak outlook for domestic wine production, with a two-decade low forecast. Estimates suggest New Zealand's output will be down 21% this year. Director-General of International Organisation of Vine and Wine, John Barker says it's largely due to frost damage in Marlborough. He told Heather du Plessis-Allan other climate issues contributed to a low wine output from the Southern Hemisphere. Barker says the Northern Hemisphere will be likely worse because of a small harvest from France. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

While structured data elements such as patient identifier, medicine name and reaction, are fundamental for adverse event reporting, they may not capture all relevant details. This is where the narrative fields come in, allowing reporters to disclose important contextual information, such as the patient's full clinical course. But how do PV assessors interact with these narratives in spontaneous reports? What needs and challenges do they experience? These and other questions were addressed in an exploratory interview study by UMC researchers Joana Félix and Alem Zekarias.  Tune in to find out:What challenges are PV assessors faced with, when working with narratives? How could automation of certain tasks help streamline narrative analyses in the future?How can reporters craft narratives that effectively document adverse events? Want to know more?Pharmacovigilance assessors' experiences interacting with narrative fields in spontaneous reports: an exploratory interview study – poster presented at the 23rd ISoP Annual Meeting “Global Perspectives on Pharmacovigilance in the Digital Age and Advanced Therapeutics”, 1–5 October 2024 Montreal, Canada.Current Challenges in Pharmacovigilance: Pragmatic Approaches, by The Council for International Organisations of Medical Sciences (CIOMS).

More than 3,500 people have been killed in Lebanon since last October, with Israel intensifying its attacks since September, launching a ground invasion into the country and an air strike campaign that has caused much destruction. Its bombings have become more unpredictable in scale and location, forcing masses to flee their homes.   More than 1.2 million people have been displaced since Israel escalated its war. Several hundred thousand, many of them already refugees, have fled across the border to Syria despite the risks they face there.   The spillover war from Gaza is wreaking havoc on a population that had already been grappling with years of economic and political turmoil. The Lebanese state's resources are far too strained to cope with the scale of displacement and there are not nearly enough organised shelters. For vulnerable minorities in the country, including Syrian refugees and migrant workers, the conditions are even more challenging.   Israel says it is attacking Hezbollah, but its campaign has provoked widespread international condemnation because of the high civilian toll. This week, US envoy Amos Hochstein is in the Middle East in an attempt to broker a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hezbollah. That cannot come soon enough for the hundreds of thousands of displaced people. But what would those who have lost their homes and their livelihoods return to?   This week on Beyond the Headlines, host Nada AlTaher looks at the deepening displacement crisis in Lebanon and its impact on the future of the country and its people. She speaks to the head of the International Organisation for Migration in Lebanon, Mathieu Luciano, and Prof Mona Fawaz from the American University of Beirut.

Ornua, Ireland's largest exporter of dairy products and owner of the Kerrygold brand, has obtained ISO 27001 certification, the leading international standard for Information Security Management Systems. In line with the company's commitment to fostering a positive cybersecurity culture, the certification demonstrates the strength of Ornua's cybersecurity controls. ISO 27001 is developed by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and provides guidelines for establishing and improving information security of organisations. Securing certification involved a rigorous 18-month journey of implementing stringent risk management and control procedures, as well as undergoing a detailed independent auditing process to assess Ornua's implementation of cybersecurity measures across its global business and operations. Ornua Chief Technology Officer Maurice Hennessy said: "I am pleased to announce that Ornua has obtained ISO 27001 certification - the global standard for information security. This certification is a testament to our global ICT team's unwavering commitment to continuously improving information security and data protection that not only enhances our own organisation security infrastructure but serves to build trust amongst our long-standing customers and partners." "Cybersecurity is an ever-evolving area and we recognise the importance of embedding a whole-organisation approach where cybersecurity is everybody's responsibility. The ISO 27001 certification is an important milestone in our journey that we look forward to building on." See more stories here.

In today's episode, a European Court of Justice ruling has scuppered Cyprus' plans to declare parts of Syria as safe, with a view to returning migrants to those parts of Syria. Meanwhile, Mehmet Tulek, whose daughter Asya was one of the 24 Cypriot children who were killed when the Isias hotel in the southeastern Turkish city of Adiyaman collapsed during last year's earthquakes, expressed fears over the ongoing court case regarding the hotel's collapse.

Tune in for the new episode of People Talk…Politics! Max, Samantha and Felix discuss whether Israel is disproportionately targeted by international organisations. They debated whether the anti-Israel bias in the UN Human Rights Council, exemplified by Agenda 7, is systemic within the UN as a whole, argued whether the ICC arrest warrants against Israeli politicians are justified and discussed the future of UNRWA in light of the involvement of their staff in the October 7.

There's a new trend in the world of work…the growth of an ageing workforce. It's called the “Silver Tsunami', and it means more people are working past retirement age, either because they want to or because they must, to make ends meet. So, what are the implications of this trend? What does it mean for retirement plans and social security? And what does it mean for employers and enterprises faced with an ageing workforce? In this podcast we'll be talking two experts on ageing in the workplace: Roberto Suárez Santos, Secretary-General of the International Organisation of Employers (IOE), and Dorothea Schmidt-Klau, Chief of the Employment, Labour Markets and Youth Branch, in the ILO's Employment Policy Department.

In today's episode, the Audit Office moved to report the Legal Service to the European Commission and the International Organisation of Supreme Audit Institutions amid allegations of threats, revenge, and efforts to remove the auditor-general from his post. Meanwhile, an earlier introduction of sex education in Cyprus' schools “would have saved many children” from abuse, Volt MP Alexandra Attalides said. Elsewhere, the family of an eight-year-old girl who died at Makarios hospital have moved to report a case of medical negligence. All this and more in the Cyprus Beat briefing brought to you by the Cyprus Mail.

Evaluation has become a key tool in assessing the performance of international organisations, in fostering learning, and in demonstrating accountability. Within the United Nations (UN) system, thousands of evaluators and consultants produce hundreds of evaluation reports worth millions of dollars every year. But does evaluation really deliver on its promise of objective evidence and functional use? By unravelling the internal machinery of evaluation systems in international organisations, The Politics of Evaluation in International Organisations (Oxford University Press, 2023) challenges the conventional understanding of evaluation as a value-free activity. Dr. Vytautas Jankauskas and Dr. Steffen Eckhard show how a seemingly neutral technocratic tool can serve as an instrument for power in global governance; they demonstrate and explain how deeply politics are entrenched in the interests of evaluation stakeholders, in the control and design of IO evaluation systems, and to a lesser extent also in the content of evaluation reports. The analysis draws on 120 research interviews with evaluators, member state representatives, and IO secretariat officials as well as on textual analysis of over 200 evaluation reports. The investigation covers 21 UN system organisations, including detailed case studies of the ILO, IMF, UNDP, UN WOMEN, IOM, UNHCR, FAO, WHO, and UNESCO. Shedding light on the (in-)effectiveness of evidence-based policymaking, the authors propose possible ways of better reconciling the observed evaluation politics with the need to gather reliable evidence that is used to improve the functioning of the United Nations. The answer to evaluation politics is not to abandon evaluation or isolate it from the stakeholders but to acknowledge surrounding political interests and design evaluation systems accordingly. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose forthcoming book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Die Suid-Afrikaanse wynbedryf is nie bekommerd oor die wêreldye afname in produksie nie. Volgens die International Organisation of Vine and Wine, val produksie en kan dit die laagste vlak in 60 jaar bereik. Die klaarblyklike swak oes in die Suidelike Halfrond en Europa is deels verantwoordelik vir die afname. Die bedryfskenner Maryna Calow sê daar is nog nie rede tot paniek nie.

Italy's Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini says overcrowded iron boats filled with migrants from Africa arriving on the island of Lampedusa is an ‘act of war' . The UN migration agency says around eight and a half thousand people arrived in nearly two hundred boats between Monday and Wednesday this week. Today's Nick Robinson speaks to Laurence Hart, Head of Mission in Italy at the International Organisation of Migrants who explains how unusual it is to have this amount of migrants arrive on the island. Italy's PM Georgia Meloni was elected with a promise to curb illegal migration.

Julia Black of the International Organisation for Migration discusses the latest loss of life

The Today programme has been looking at the debate about how to handle the mass movement of people around the world. Sicily is the region where the majority of African migrants to Italy arrive. Migrants make the dangerous journey across the Mediterranean in crowded boats that often sink or capsize. Search and rescue ships crewed by volunteers make it their mission to save the lives of migrants who make the crossing looking for new lives. However the Italian government's approach to the boats has got much tougher since the election of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. Today's Nick Robinson spoke to Enrico Trantino, the Mayor of Catania – the port city of Catania in Sicily, where many migrants to Italy first land – and Laurence Hart, Director for Italy at the UN's International Organisation for Migration. First Nick reports from the streets of Catania. (Image, Enrico Trantino, Mayor of Catania, Credit, BBC)

Yesterday, I entered a class and spent some quality time with the students present there. We were chatting and discussing various topics. All were going with the flow and then our chatting headed towards careers. I happened to ask them what they plan to do in future. I was amazed by the different responses I got. Some said Diplomacy and Foreign Service, some wanted to work for International Organisations. Some even answered their liking towards Government and Public Service, Non-Profit and Non-Government Organisations. Then there were enthusiasts who wished to work as International Business and Trade professionals. Some even showed their inclination towards Journalism and Media and some even wanted to go for Research.I was amazed at the diversity of career options in one single class.

The Sudanese man's death marks the fourth United Nations employee casualty since the conflict commenced between the army and a paramilitary force six days ago.

The first three months of 2023 has been described as the ‘deadliest' for migrants crossing the Mediterranean by the UN's International Organisation for Migration (IOM). Pietro Bartolo, Member of the European Parliament for Lampedusa, off the coast of southern Italy, says there needs to be a fundamental rethink on how migrants are received and processed. Plus, what is behind the deaths in Kenya linked to the Good News International Church? And relatives of dozens of school girls who are still missing after being abducted in north-east Nigeria in 2014, have once again urged the government to seek their release.

Lecture summary: After 1945, the United Nations – and international organizations (IOs) more generally – were widely embraced as the ideal, democratic means to resolve international conflicts and promote global welfare. Sharing this almost feverish enthusiasm, a Western-controlled International Court of Justice adopted a deferential attitude toward IOs. The law it developed exuded confidence in the impartiality of IOs, premised on an unquestioning assumption that their subjection to legal discipline and judicial review would be unnecessary and even counterproductive. I propose that the time has come to concede that the utopian premises upon which the international law relating to IOs is based are flawed and outline a new course for the international law on IOs, one that addresses the inherent flaws of collective decision-making and can assist IOs to achieve their stated goals. Professor Eyal Benvenisti is Samuel Rubin Visiting Professor of Law, Columbia Law School (2022). He is the Whewell Professor of International Law at the University of Cambridge, CC Ng Fellow in Law at Jesus College, and the Director of the Lauterpacht Centre for International Law. He is also a Visiting Professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and a member of the Global Visiting Faculty of New York University School of Law. He is Member of the Institut de droit international and of the Israeli Academy of Sciences and Humanities. A Co-Editor of the British Yearbook of International Law, he served on the Editorial Board of the American Journal of International Law (2009-18). He was Project Director of the “GlobalTrust – Sovereigns as Trustees of Humanity” research project, funded by an ERC Advanced Grant (2013-18). He previously was a Visiting Professor at the law schools at Harvard, Columbia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Toronto and Yale. He gave special courses at The Hague Academy of International Law (2013) and the Xiamen Academy of International Law (2017). Benvenisti will deliver the General Course in International Law at The Hague Academy of International Law in 2024.

While much of the success of the show is due to my fabulous guests, I am also lucky to have a wonderful team to assist me at the University of Oslo. I wish to in particular thank Kristoffer Ring, our IT guru, and Oda Fagerland, Bella Reid, and Eliska Sottova for research assistance and transcripts.My colleague Desmond McNeill, who was on the show earlier this year discussing the power of ideas and metaphors in international development policy, has invented a game which he calls “acronisation”. The game is designed to test your knowledge about international organizations and bilateral aid agencies. If you can identity 10 acronyms or more, Desmond would be delighted to receive an e-mail from you latest by the 11th of January. Please write to Desmond at: desmond.mcneill@sum.uio.noHappy holidays! Host:Professor Dan Banik, University of Oslo, Twitter: @danbanik  @GlobalDevPodApple Google Spotify YouTubehttps://in-pursuit-of-development.simplecast.com/

Trials have shown that cocktails of antibodies are effective against Covid, and one called Ronapreve has just been approved for use in the UK, following in the footsteps of Japan and the US. Claudia Hammond talks to Penny Ward, Professor of Pharmaceutical Medicine at Kings College, London, about how these monoclonal antibodies work and where they are best used, given that they are very expensive. The UN Refugee Agency and the International Organisation for Migration have called on governments to ensure that everyone is included in vaccination plans, including refugees and internally displaced people. Samara Linton reports on how undocumented migrants, in South East Asia and in the UK, are getting vaccinated against Covid. The increased heat we are experiencing with climate change is causing deaths in people with underlying health conditions. Professor Kristie Ebi of the University of Washington tells Claudia about what we can do to keep cool, in particular in places without air conditioning. And family doctor Graham Easton comments on these stories and discusses the relationship between Covid and heat.
