Summary/Abstract: This article aims to briefly examine the conditions and circumstances which lead to the gradual evolution of the role of the UN Secretary General in dealing with the international crisis. It will show that in the last 64 years some competencies of the Secretary General, stipulated in the UN Treaty, were neglected, while others, not mentioned in the Treaty, have been developed and become nowadays practice. Thus, it will be demonstrated that the most important changed in this matter reflects as a strengthening of independent activities of the Secretary General in solving international crisis. This transformation was consequence both the competencies granted though the some resolutions of the General Assembly and Security Council and the autonomous development which expressed the temper and ambitions of the person which performed the post of the Secretary General. Strengthening the position of the Secretary General has mainly contributed to the efficiency of crises solving, but in some situation it drove to new antagonize. In the case of Serbian province of Kosovo and Metohia we deem that independent activities of the Secretary General turned into ultra vires actions, which contributed to the limitation of sovereignty and integrity of Serbia and unauthorized changing of the UNMIK mandate without approving a new Security Council resolution.
