Agreement making and implementation: An analysis of international negotiations

Global negotiations are the hallmark of the UN and one of its main raisons d’etre. At the same time it is true that frustration about global negotiations has been mounting for a long time and the discrepancy between negotiating input and negotiated output – tangible international agreement – is being lamented on the occasion of practically every major UN conference.

A case in point is made by the much-hailed Millennium Declaration which reiterates several objectives already solemnly adopted at the World Summit for Social Development in Copenhagen in 1995. The very existence of the UN structures as a tool for international agreement making can be considered as a global public good of an intermediate nature.
