Description
"The UN's Upcoming Social and Economic Agenda"

When the United Nations came into being in 1945, some observers thought that the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) would match - in the areas of health, development and human rights - the central role played by the Security Council in global peace and security.

Why has ECOSOC not lived up to this expectation? What is the focus of this year's economic and social agenda? How does ECOSOC affect policy on a practical level?

These are some of the questions addressed in this issue of World Chronicle by the President of ECOSOC, Ambassador Marjatta Rasi of Finland.
