This document discusses global governance and the role of the United Nations. It defines global governance as the sum of laws, norms, policies and institutions that define, constitute and mediate trans-border relations without a world government. The United Nations plays an essential role in global governance by managing knowledge, developing norms through conferences, formulating recommendations by convening groups, and institutionalizing ideas through its organizations that work on solutions. Significant international treaties that shape global governance include the UN Charter (1945), GATT (1947), Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women (1979), Kyoto Protocol (2005), and Rome Statute (1988).
