LSE lecture series: The United Nations at 60 – relic or relevant?This lecture series began last autumn to mark the fi rst session of the UN general assembly held in London 60 years ago in January 1946. It now continues into 2007. The lectures will look at the work of the United Nations and the challenges that it faces in this century. Can the UN make real progress in the fi elds of development, democracy, human rights, the environment? Can it play a constructive and effective role in maintaining peace and security across the globe? Are the internal UN reforms agreed last year suffi cient to ensure that the organisation can respond decisively to the major challenges of the 21st century? These are some of the issues to be examined in this series.

Donations from alumni and the broader LSE community have a direct impact on current and prospective students in need, on public policy, on the amount of extra-curricular activities available to students, and on a more personal level, maintain LSE’s global reputation and so the value of an LSE degree.

What’s Wrong with the UN?SPEAKER: Joshua MuravchikCHAIR: Professor Christine Chinkin

The UN was conceived by its founders as the bulwark of world peace but for 60 years it has lacked the military muscle to enforce peace and has failed as a moral beacon as well. It is rife with corruption and its record on human rights has been a disgrace. Each successive secretary general has pledged reform, but there may be no way to fi x the UN’s fundamental fl aws, an absence of transparency or accountability.
