A. First of all theirs the bosnian civil war where those who perpetrated and ordered the genocide have been brought to trial in front of the international criminal coart in The Hague. Another example is the trial of the former liberian president in front of the same coart. so yes the UN does have teeth.

A. If I recall the test is divided into two parts. One is general or world knowledge and the other is administrative; I seem to recall there being some simple math questions included in part 1 also. My suggestion is - if you can - take a secretarial course - also in this day of computers being able to type properly is always a good thing. It will provide you with office organizational skills that will help with part two.

How much money do countries contribute to the United Nations?
Q. Hi, I'm currently in the process of writing a position paper for model United Nations. Could someone please give me a link to a website where I could find out what percentage of the U.N.'s money comes from which country, I don't know where to look, but I know it exists.

A. The UN is financed from assessed and voluntary contributions from member states. The regular two-year budgets of the UN and its specialized agencies are funded by assessments. The General Assembly approves the regular budget and determines the assessment for each member. This is broadly based on the relative capacity of each country to pay, as measured by their Gross National Income (GNI), with adjustments for external debt and low per capita income. See link below for PDF of 2009 funding from each country.

A. The UN has never decided to end the mandate system. From time to time the different bodies of the United Nations pass resolutions which contain operating paragraphs that begin with the words "requests", "calls upon", or "encourages", which the Secretary-General interprets as a mandate to set up a temporary organization or do something. These mandates can be as little as researching and publishing a written report, or mounting a full scale peace-keeping operation (usually the exclusive domain of the Security Council). The United Nations has not implemented the mandate system to form new states within recent years, however, they could still do so if they wished to.

A good reason for the US to follow those resolutions, therefore, is that they are legally binding (although of course there is no real way to enforce compliance).

I would like to work as an interpreter/translator for the United Nations. Where should I start?
Q. I have a bachelor degree in International Relations studies. I love learning foreign languages. I have been doing translation/interpretatio n from Indonesian (my mother tongue) to English. I also have experiences as rapporteur in seminars/workshops as well. I have never attended a formal interpretation training school, however. Can anybody suggest me where to start if I would like to have a career in translation/interpretatio n, or document checking in international organizations, or maybe in United Nations itself? Thank you.
