There is significant global change taking place and the United Nations mandate and relevance is under scrutiny. The shifts in power arising from elections in many countries have resulted in complexity and conflict. There are growing major economic and social challenges taking place which are having profound implications for the rule of order, human rights and the UN principles of equity, peace and security. UN Reform has been elevated to a greater level of priority, in part due to the changes in enforced budget reductions and foreign aid and growing debt levels.
Expert panellists joining us on the evening include
