Toward Larger Freedom : 40th Conference on the United Nations of the Next Decade

Report on a conference sponsored by The Stanley Foundation, held June 17-22, 2005, at Vitznau, Switzerland. This conference, focusing on the current renewal process in the UN, opened just days before the General Assembly was to meet for formal consultations on the Draft Outcome Document of General Assembly Pres. Jean Ping. Pres. Ping himself was present as were most of his facilitators. The discussions in Vitznau were informal & off-the-record. There was robust discussion on the following subjects: Prospects for UN Renewal; Human Rights Council; Terrorism; Development; Secretariat & Management Reform; Disarmament & Nonproliferation; & Responsibility to Protect.
