Secretary-General’s authority (p. 12). Parish (2016) pointed out that the United Nations needs to reform in order to a system in which all stakeholders may raise “have concerns: not just UN staff, the Chief Executive Board, and the Senior Management Group, but also civil society” (para. 7). By having this in place it would allow people that work within the United Nations and all stakeholders to be able to raise concerns without fear that they will be retaliated against (Parish, 2016, para. 7). Blanchfield (2015) noted that the way it can be improving accountability and allowing people to raise concerns is within the Office of Internal Oversight Services (p. 8). In other words, this reform would mean that the Office of Internal Oversight Services would be the one in charge of allowing people to voice concern and then this department would investigate and resolve the issue at hand. The other reform that has been proposed is in regards to the Secretariat is in regards to the Secretary-General position. The reform that has been put forth is that there should be a one term limit on the office of Secretary-General within the Secretariat (Parish, 2016). The reason why this is being proposed is there is the fear that the Secretary-General is more concerned about being reelected to the position in the last few years of office that they are not carrying out their duties correctly within the Secretariat (Parish, 2016). By putting in place a one term limit on the Secretary-General it would ensure that the person in this position is concerned with acting the best possible and making sure that the Secretariat is doing what it is supposed to be doing within the United Nations (Parish, 2016).
