Sample text
Political activity, initiatives and acceptable procedural innovations are positive for the Secretary-General: however, this development must be founded within the exigencies of the political environment - and this includes the attitudes of the leading states - otherwise the opposite will be the case. Lie's stance on Korea did not represent a procedural innovation and the Secretaryship-General is not served by attracting the hostility of a major power. In conclusion, Lie established a number of important practices for the Office in the realm of creative administration; the Office had accumulated, in rather shaky fashion, a political tradition.
The nature of the Office's mandate, its material and diplomatic support, the execution of its tasks, the statements of the Office, and attitudes towards the Office are all examined. The conditions and variables which contribute to the Office's activities and help explain quantitative and qualitative variations over time and in different circumstances are the stimuli. The proposition here is that the historical outcomes in the Secretaryship-General between 1945 and 1996 reflect trends and patterns, and that these can be related to the variables and conditions of the wider international political environment.
Regarding the mandate, it is significant that early resolutions did not mention Katanga - clearly most of the West favoured, if not supported, secession - so Hammarskjold had to judge whether the execution of UN policy implied action which might assist or hamper Tshombe, while maintaining that ONUC was not there to interfere with the internal politics of the area. His position was clarified slightly on 9 August,33 but the appearance of impartiality was difficult to sustain. With no detailed brief towards Katanga, Hammarskjold attempted to stick to what he believed was the most impartial approach towards Congolese politics, and the most decisive against extraneous influence.
