The World Policy Institute at The New School

presents
THE UN'S MILLENNIUM SUMMIT: WILL IT MAKE ANY
DIFFERENCE?

a panel discussion with

SHASHI THAROOR, Under Secretary-General for
Communications and Public Information, United Nations,
and author of eight books, including, most recently,
Bookless in Baghdad.

COLUM LYNCH, Prize-winning UN correspondent for The
Washington Post. 


Moderated by
MARTIN WALKER, World Policy Institute Senior Fellow,
chief editor of United Press International, former
Washington correspondent of the Guardian, author of
seven non-fiction books and three novels, regular
commentator on BBC and CNN.   


In the Fall of 2003, UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan
told the world that the UN stands "at a fork in the
road" and must either reform or risk irrelevance. For
the past twenty-four months, Annan's own UN Panel and
various other commissions, including one organized by
the US Congress, have proposed a series of reforms in
the security, human rights, Secretariat management and
economic assistance fields. Now, following the
Millennium Summit, the question is: did real reform
take place at the UN? Is there any serious prospect
now of a consensus between the United States and the
rest of the General Assembly on the key issues
confronting the organization? Will the Security
Council be restructured?  Or has the UN lost an
opportunity for real change? Where does the UN go from
here?
