The position of the special representative of the UN Secretary General and its role in Afghanistan's course of events

The United Nations was established as an international organization to guard international peace and security in an un-united world. Among its subordinate institutions and agencies, the U.N. has also taken advantage of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General to avert threats against peace and settle conflicts. The Special Representative has played a key intervening role in bringing peace especially after the uni-polarization of the world. The measures undertaken by the U.N. throughout the prolonged crisis and chaos in Afghanistan has been mainly through the U.N. Secretary General's Special Representative. This dissertation aims to explicate and analyze the legal principles and status of the U.N. Secretary General's Special Representative in Afghanistan before and after the 9/11, particularly its pivotal role in establishing a new government and coordinating the world community contributions.
