The United Nations has been the subject of intense scrutiny and criticism in the recent past and since the Tsunami disaster in December, UN relief work has been a cover story on almost every newspaper around the world.
Given the ongoing challenges facing the organization, Deputy Secretary General Louise Frechette will outline how the organization must change in the coming year, to address the challenges of the current century. With a major UN gathering of world leaders scheduled for this coming September, Ms. Frechette’s Toronto visit provides an opportunity for her to outline ways of better equipping the UN to effectively face today’s challenges and threats.
