SUMMARY:[WebDebate] The UN at 75: Evolution or revolution?
DESCRIPTION:This year is the 75th anniversary of the United Nations\, and we are marking the occasion with a Webdebate on the past and the future of the organisation. \nBy looking back at the past 75 years of the world organisation\, we will try to answer an important question: Are we seeing an evolution or a revolution in some of the key UN topics and how they are addressed? \nThe past 75 years vs the last 7.5 months: The need to respond to COVID-19 and the tremendous impact the crisis had on almost all aspects of life around the world\, highlighted the crucial importance of the UN. To what extent are the past 75 years reflected in the past 7.5 months? \nOur discussion will focus on three core pillars of the UN: peace and security\, human rights\, and sustainable development. We will also explore how these three pillars are increasingly connected via the emerging theme of digital co-operation. \nQuestions around peace and security\, and human rights\, have been with the organisation from its inception\, while sustainable development and digital co-operation are more recent topics on the UN’s agenda. In each case\, we look back at past developments in order to reflect on future ones. Are we witnessing an evolution or a revolution\, and how have the past 7.5 months further shaped these topics? \nJoin us on Tuesday\, 1st September\, at 12:00 UTC (08:00 EDT | 14:00 CEST | 20:00 CST).
