The Secretary
General of the United Nations regularly reports to the
General Assembly and the Commission on the Status of
Women on the improvement of the status of women in the
Secretariat and the UN System. This reporting is undertaken
though the Office of the Special Adviser on Gender Issues
and Advancement of Women to the General Assembly in
during its annual regular session held between September
and December, and then again, as an update, to the Commission
on the Status of Women in March. In addition, the Secretary
General has issued bulletins pertaining to the
Status of Women in the Secretariat. In this section
you will find the reports issued by the Secretary General
to the General Assembly and CSW as well as the Secretary
General's bulletins related to gender.
In addition, you will
find in this section the resolutions of the General
Assembly on the improvement of the status of women in
the United Nations system. The General Assembly, which
is composed of representatives of all Member States,
is the main deliberative organ of the United Nations.
The work of the United Nations derives largely from
the decisions of the General Assembly - that is to say,
the will of the majority of the Member States as expressed
in resolutions adopted by the Assembly. Issues pertaining
to the status of women in the United Nations system
are considered by two of the Assembly's six Main Committees
- the Third Committee which considers social, humanitarian
and cultural questions and the Fifth Committee which
considers administrative and budgetary questions. |
