❓ Have you wondered, how are countries elected to membership in United Nations bodies? While all UN Member States are part of the UN General Assembly, most other UN bodies are composed of smaller numbers. Elections are held regularly to fill seats. Some subsidiary bodies consist of individuals appointed in their personal capacity rather than as representatives of Member States.

Last week, the #UNLibrary team delivered an "Introduction to #Legal Resources" training for 21 Fellows participating in the United Nations–Nippon Foundation Strategic Needs and SIDS Fellowships.   The Programmes enable Fellows to receive training at United Nations Headquarters-New York through the end of the year. They will then return to their home countries with enhanced expertise and knowledge to support their governments in implementing the United Nations Convention on the #LawOfTheSea and related international instruments. These Fellowships aim to provide Government officials from developing States dealing directly with ocean affairs and/or the law of the sea with funded advanced training in the field of ocean affairs and the law of the sea, and related disciplines including marine science in support of management frameworks. 🔗 For more on the Fellowship, visit: https://lnkd.in/ged_gDi4 UN Ocean Decade #UNFellowship #NipponFoundation #OceanAffairs #MarineScience #OceanGovernance #Sustainability #UNCLOS #MarineScience #MaritimeLaw #CareerOpportunity #ProfessionalDevelopment #SDG14 #FullyFundedFellowship #InternationalOpportunities #PrimeStrategicServices #UNDOALOS #UNNF #SIDS

💡 A moment of #UNLibrary history. The planning of a Library at UN Headquarters began with the planning of the United Nations itself. In 1959, the Ford Foundation gave an award of $6.2 million to the United Nations toward the construction of a new Library building in New York to replace the Library’s inadequate space. Shortly after the death of Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjöld on 18 September 1961, the newly-completed building was named the Dag Hammarskjöld Library in honour of his commitment to the creation of a beautiful and modern space for the Library. Today, the Dag Hammarskjöld Library pays tribute to the legacy of our namesake through the support of the men and women working for peace at the United Nations. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gdccVNKm Dag Hammarskjöld Foundation
