PURPOSE AND ORGANIZATION OF
ACUNS
ACUNS SECRETARIAT
In recent years, The Balsillie School of International Affairs (left) was home to the offices of the ACUNS Secretariat in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, with the support of host institution Wilfrid Laurier University. As of July 1, the Secretariat resides at the Centre for Trust, Peace and Social Relations at Coventry University, UK (top right).
PURPOSE The Academic Council on the United Nations System exists to stimulate, support, and disseminate research, and analysis on the United Nations, multilateralism, and international organization. ACUNS also promotes teaching on these topics, as well as dialogue and mutual understanding across and between the academic and practitioner communities.
THE ORGANIZATION We are a global professional association of educational and research institutions, individual scholars, and practitioners active in the work and study of multilateral relations, global governance, and international cooperation. Approximately half of our membership is based in North America, Europe and Central Asia; however, our global membership comes from 54 countries, including Australia, Barbados, Brazil, Brunei, Chile, China, Cote d’Ivoire, Gambia, Ghana, India, Kenya, Lebanon, New Zealand, Nigeria, Philippines, Republic of Korea, South Africa, Suriname, Thailand, Trinidad & Tobago, Uganda, Uruguay and Venezuela. Our individual and institutional members include scholars, UN and other international organization practitioners, NGO/civil society representatives, government officials, and interested individuals. The monthly ACUNS E-Update is received by over 3,500 individuals around the world. A special effort is made to ensure that advanced research conducted in universities finds its way into the programs of the UN system; ACUNS regularly partners with UN bodies in New York, Vienna, Geneva and elsewhere to support educational and other research initiatives, and current UN officials of all levels participate in many of our activities. We are always searching for more and better ways to deliver programs and projects to our membership – with new thematic and professional development podcasts, video broadcasts of events, support to special research workshops and conferences, and dissemination of information about our members’ own publications and programs. We have Category 1 Consultative Status with the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC); NGO Affiliate status with the UN Department of Public Information; and accreditation to UNESCO. This status gives our members the opportunity for access to UN system meetings and libraries.

FROM THE ACUNS CHAIR > LO R R A I N E E L L I OT T
O
n behalf of ACUNS and its Board, I am pleased to welcome you all to the 2018 Annual Meeting at Libera Università Internazionale degli Studi Sociali – LUISS – in Rome. The Annual Meetings are central to the ACUNS mission of stimulating, supporting and disseminating research and analysis on the United Nations, multilateralism and international organization. It is at these meetings that we continue to foster dialogue and mutual understanding across and between the academic and practitioner communities. I am confident that our discussions at AM18 will make a valuable contribution to these objectives.
CHAIR, ACUNS PROFESSOR EMERITA, AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL UNIVERSITY
In recognition of the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the theme of this year’s annual meeting is Human Rights, Migration, and Global Governance, issues that are central to the efforts of the United Nations system to strengthen human security, to protect those who are most vulnerable, and to embed the values associated with a just international order. We are excited to be working with our hosts at LUISS University. I extend my warmest thanks to the Rector, Professor Andrea Prencipe, for supporting our efforts to bring this Annual Meeting to Rome and to LUISS. The local team – Professor Angela Del Vecchio, Professor Leonardo Morlino, and Dr Silvia Scarpa – have worked closely with our Secretariat over many months and we are grateful for their commitment to this important event in the ACUNS calendar. This is an important transition year for ACUNS, as the Secretariat moves to the Centre for Trust, Peace and Social Relations at Coventry University in the UK after fifteen years at Wilfrid Laurier University in Canada. We welcome Professor Math Noortmann as the new Executive Director. We also welcome a new editorial team for the ACUNS journal Global Governance. This is my final year as Chair of the ACUNS Board, although I will serve in the honorary role of ‘past-Chair’ for another two years. Professor Roger Coate, who has extensive ACUNS experience and who will be well known to many of you, will take over as Chair at the end of the Annual Meeting. I want to take this opportunity to extend my personal thanks to all those who have served on the Board during the past three years and who have made my time as Chair so enjoyable and who have enabled us to achieve so much. The Board is a genuine working Board. On behalf of all ACUNS members, I want to extend my deepest thanks to the Secretariat team at Laurier – Dr. Alistair Edgar who has served tirelessly and with such commitment as Executive Director, Ms. Brenda Burns whose title ‘Coordinator’ simply goes nowhere near enough to explaining her crucial contributions, and Dr. Gwenith Cross (whom I am delighted to congratulate on the recent award of her PhD) who has brought such excellent skills to the role of technical and program support administrator and made the job very much her own. They have been the core of ACUNS and central to everything we do and achieve. Lorraine Elliott Chair, ACUNS

ear participants of the 2018 ACUNS Annual Meeting on “Human Rights, Migration, and Global Governance”,
RECTOR, LUISS GUIDO CARLI UNIVERSITY
It is a great pleasure for me to welcome you to Rome and to host you at LUISS Guido Carli University. Our University was created in the 1970s, with the idea of proposing an innovative educational approach aimed at equipping our students and graduates to become world leaders. Moreover, our focus on the internationalization of the academic experience offered to students—which is solidly founded on international exchange programs, double degrees and other structured partnerships with universities all over the world—renders this institution the perfect place for this international gathering. Finally, our emphasis on ethics, responsibility and sustainability in academic teaching matches well the ACUNS’ mission. The theme chosen for this year’s meeting, “Human Rights, Migration and Global Governance,” focuses on a pressing issue at a time in which the negotiation process aimed at adopting the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration is ongoing and will only be concluded at the Intergovernmental Conference that will be held in December 2018 in Morocco. While 2018 also marks the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the migratory crisis in the Mediterranean sea shows to us the complex issues faced by people “on the move” in countries of origin, transit and destination. In this framework, the eternal city is also the appropriate place to discuss the challenges posed by human rights and migration in the complex contemporary international order. Rome has a vibrant international community and some relevant international organizations belonging to the UN family have offices here, including: the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), the World Food Programme (WFP), the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI), and the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA). Therefore, I hope that the unique setting offered by Rome will inspire your work during this year’s ACUNS Annual Meeting.
