Abstract

Having developed into a political and ideological concept since the 1990s, global governance has evolved as a priority of the European Union. Although the EU promotes the idea of state decentralization within global governance at the UN, in the EU itself the state is paramount. This article examines the structure of the complex networks of the UN Human Rights Council. The scholarly problem of the article is the contradiction between the key decision-making role of the state in the HRC and increasingly complex social networks of the UN system. The Council is structured in a way that ensures the active participation of transnational corporations, NGOs, and EU supranational institutions in its agenda. Does this hypothetically mean that the role of the state in the UN system and in international affairs is declining? The focus of this article is on the ties between states, NGOs, and international organizations in the UN Human Rights Council. These ties suggest that the state is included in complex networks and enhances their sustainment.

联合国人权理事会复杂网络中的国家

自20世纪90年代以来，全球治理已发展成为一个政治和意识形态概念，并已成为欧洲联盟的一个优先事项。尽管欧盟在联合国的全球治理中提倡国家权力下放的理念，但在欧盟本身，国家是至高无上的。本文考察了联合国人权理事会复杂网络的结构。这篇文章的学术问题是国家在人权委员会中的关键决策角色与联合国系统日益复杂的社会网络之间的矛盾。理事会的结构确保跨国公司、非政府组织和欧盟超国家机构积极参与其议程。这是否意味着国家在联合国系统和国际事务中的作用正在下降？本文的重点是国家、非政府组织和联合国人权理事会国际组织之间的关系。这些联系表明，国家被纳入了复杂的网络，并加强了它们的维持。
