Revista de Economie Mondiala / The Journal of Global Economics, 2019, vol. 11, issue 2, 35-52

Abstract: This article focuses on the UN reform within the current architecture of global relations. Firstly, the specialized agencies and organizations and their role in world governance are presented. Secondly, the process of reforming the UN, as well as the position of some Indo-Pacific states on this issue are analysed. By exploring the UN activity and the views on the role of this organization of the countries with great economic power and important contributions to its financing the authors wish to draw the attention upon the need for a profound reform and modernization, focusing on common values and priorities and adjusting to the realities which are facing today's societies and the world economy. According to the authors’ opinion, the solutions can be found only through joint political efforts, economic cooperation, multilateralism, social involvement and active intervention to defend peace, without which the existence and the role of the UN and other international bodies could be jeopardized, as well as the very existence of democracy and even the future of humanity.
