  • The UN Celebrates 75 – What Does the Future Hold?

    As the world becomes more complex and interconnected, the United Nations (UN) is needed more than ever. However, its major partner – the United States, is pulling away from the UN, as can be seen by its slow paying Peacekeeping dues, and by withdrawing from the Paris Climate Treaty, the Iran Nuclear Framework, and the World Health Organization.

    What impact does this have on the UN and the world?

    Join a free webinar presentation to hear Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesman for UN Secretary-General António Guterres, discuss what the next 75 years looks like for the UN.

     
    About the Speaker

His division is responsible for media liaison and accreditation, providing logistical support and information to the international press corps, as well as coverage of official United Nations meetings. Prior to joining the United Nations, Stéphane worked for ABC News television for close to ten years in various capacities in the network’s New York City, London, and Paris news bureaus. He traveled extensively on assignment to cover major stories throughout Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. Born in France, Stéphane has been living in the United States for the most part of the last 40 years and is a graduate of Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service.
