  • Describe the composition of the principal UN organs and selected subsidiary organs;
  • Compare the different electoral rules that apply in the UN organs;
  • Describe the key elements of the rules and procedures for elections and voting;
  • Interpret the rules and procedures, established practice and legal interpretation pertaining to voting;
  • Contrast the decision-making processes of the regional groups for endorsing candidates;
  • Appraise and assess the trade-offs and risks of engaging in a campaign.
