A brief discussion on the major committees and organs of the United Nations system. Check out my other videos in my United Nations system playlist at • United Nations .
This was fantastically well made, adequately informative alongside keeping it brief! This deserves more recognition as I believe this video would be of great help to many more like to me.
That's a great question! There is technically no recall (or no confidence) procedure to remove the Secretary-General before the normal end of their term. However, a couple of caveats. First, some legal theories suggest that the power of the Security Council to recommend and the General Assembly to confirm the SG's appoint suggests that they could use the same process to withdraw their approval (and thus remove the SG) using the same process. That said, a Secretary-General that reached the point that a 2/3 majority of both the GA and the SC, and the 5 permanent members agree (which is what would be required to remove them), would be so unpopular and face so much pressure that they would most likely resign their position before any vote actually took place. Hope that helps clarify!
@@NoahZerbe Thanks professor. I am not in the United States. I am in Ghana. Our Universities do not do that. The government gives students loans. I've applied for it, it's been 7 months now, the government has not released the fund. I have to weeks more to pay. I have to work, but I have exams to write too. It was 400 dollars but I've paid 150 dollars.

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
I have a question, can the general assembly or the security council remove the Secretary General from office for violating the rules of the position?

Great video bro
Nice presentation. Hmmm I'm learning very hard but I'm not going to graduate because I'm owing 250 dollars school fees. Wish me well.

Prof Zerbe, please do you have any presentation on the European Union, African Union and Ecowas ?
With the audio so low I can barely hear you. Cannot decipher what is being said.👎
It is so clear. You must be having a hearing problem
