Live Event: International outlook: The UN turns 75! Crisis and Cooperation. Oct 24

DON'T MISS * SUPER EVENT 24 OCT * with Jan Eliasson former secretary general to the UN, Margot Wallström former minister of foreign affairs and Change Rebels’ host Emelie Weski.

During its 75 years, the UN has undergone various upheavals and crisis situations that have been handled on the basis of organisational, institutional and operational methods, such as the adoption of the HR declaration, conventions, a series of action programs, the Millennium Development Goals, Agenda 2030 etc. Today, the UN is under pressure due to major shifts in power in the world and problems with funding.

The UN's mission is peace, human rights and development. How the mission has been carried out over the years can be illustrated from a number of different perspectives that also shed light on how states have handled their mission. Such perspectives are, for example, the role and importance of civil society, women's rights and the involvement of young people.

The seminar is conducted in the form of two panels that focus on crisis and cooperation.
