WHO's regional offices make it structurally one of the most decentralised of all United Nations agencies. But at what cost and to what effect? This article argues that too often the regions give only the illusion of decentralisation while wresting power from WHO's governing body and prolonging the time taken for resources to reach the point of need.
世卫组织的区域办事处使其在结构上成为所有联合国机构中权力最为分散的机构之一。但这付出了怎样的代价,又产生了怎样的影响呢?本文认为,各区域常常只是制造出权力分散的假象,同时从世卫组织的管理机构手中夺取权力,并延长了资源到达需求点所需的时间。
