Dear Friends

Tomorrow from 12-2 p.m. there is a special broadcast on the Centenary of Dag Hammarskjöld on the UN webcast. If you are able, I invite you to view it. http://www.un.org/webcast/index.asp

I have a great admiration for the former Secretary-General of the UN who was killed in a plane crash in the Congo on a mission.

I quote from his spiritual memoir, Markings. “To all that has been, thanks. To all that shall be, Yes.”

Sir Brian Urquhart, one of the speakers, inspired me to design the course I’m giving at the UN April 18-22: The United Nations and the Harmonization of Nations: An Evolving Process Accelerated by the Tsunami Disaster?

Sir Brian believes the next step of the UN is Article 1.4 of the Charter, for the UN to be a “centre for the harmonization of nations.” .He worked closely with Dag Hammarskjöld and has written his biography.
