 UNITED NATIONS MEET 21ST CENTURY: CONFRONTING
CHALLENGES OF GLOBAL GOVERNANCE
(Weiss and Thakur, 2014)

 In terms of knowledge, UN, is underappreciated regarding how its convening capacity and
mobilizing power are utilized to help funnel and consolidate knowledge form outside and ensure
its discussion and dissemination among governments.

 The contrasting moral structures of social behavior in different member-states complicate the
formulation of a normative standard that can be applicable to all.

 In formulating proposition, problems occur when only the member-states are heard.

 Institutions can also be places where ideas are cornered and left behind. The modality and
processes for enforcing compliance with international norms and laws are not present.
