Afeasibility study is currently underway withdifferent partners.We would like to use the magazine, in itsrole of instigator, to share these projects withour readers, with our leaders, and with allpersons of goodwill. These events, we aresure, will energize people and send out astrong message that the extended UN familyis accessible, ready and dynamic and that itsmotivation to achieve its objectives and toshare them is intact. The message has nowbeen sent out. ❚«PLANÈTE ONU»“Planet UN”, 352 pages witha CD-Rom, a book coveringsixty-five years of the UN,defending peace, developmentand human rights withinterviews of the last five Secretary-Generals.Foreword byD.
