The '''United Nations Secretariat'''
The mandate of the secretariat is a wide one. [[Dag Hammarskjöld]], the UN's second secretary-general, described its power as follows: "The United Nations is what member nations made it, but within the limits set by government action and government cooperation, much depends on what the secretariat makes it. It has creative capacity. It can introduce new ideas. It can, in proper forms, take initiatives. It can put before member governments findings which will influence their actions".<ref name="Hammarskjöld1968">{{cite book|author=Dag Hammarskjöld|title=Hammarskjöld: The Political Man|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=VuxBAAAAIAAJ|year=1968|publisher=Funk & Wagnalls}}</ref>
The [[United Nations Department of Political Affairs]], which has a role analogous to a [[ministry of foreign affairs]], is a part of the secretariat. So is the [[Department of Peace Operations]]. The secretariat is the main source of economic and political analysis for the General Assembly and Security Council; it administers operations initiated by UN's deliberative organs, operates political missions, prepares assessments that precede peacekeeping operations, appoints the heads of peacekeeping operations, conducts surveys and research, communicates with non-state actors such as media and non-government organizations, and is responsible for publishing all of the treaties and international agreements.<ref name="UN Secretariat" /><ref name="Paul Novosad">{{cite web|last1=Novosad|first1=Paul|last2=Werker|first2=Eric|title=Who Runs the International System?

== Status of women in the secretariat==
Representation of women in the UN, particularly at managerial and decision-making positions at the D-1 level and above, has been a UN General Assembly concern and goal since 1970.

In December 1994, the UN General Assembly's "disappointment" that its gender equality target were not met urged the secretary-general to prioritize the recruitment and promotion of women to reach to 50/50 representation in D1 and above posts by 2000.<ref name="ST/SGB/282">{{cite journal |first1=Boutros |last1=
