The United Nations: Current Challenges in Peace and Security

Date: Sunday, February 22nd, 2004 Time: 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Speaker: Dr. Chiyuki Aoi, United Nations University; Dr. Toshi Mogami, International Christian University; Panel Chair: Dr. Betty Reardon, Founding Director of the Peace Education Center Teachers College, NY

Description:
This Colloquium will address the unprecedented and urgently important challenges the United Nations now faces in fulfilling its mission to work to maintain peace and security in a world radically different from the one in which the U. N. Charter was formulated. The possibilities for a more secure world order have never been under greater threat, and the need for world citizens to understand what the United Nations can and is doing in the face of these challenges never more important. Please join us for a discussion of these crucial global issues.
