I would like to extend an invitation to attend the Campaign for UN Reform's annual membership assembly at Boston University, June 7-9. The conference, themed Waging Law...Justice, Security, and an Effective United Nations, will feature high-level participants who will answer the question "Will it be Law or the Forever War?" I cannot stress how important it is that you attend this meeting. With ongoing violence in the Middle East and Afghanistan, an increasingly unilateral U.S. foreign policy, and an upcoming election that could determine the course of international affairs over the next few decades, citizen action and involvement is crucial. On Friday evening Dawn Calabia, from the United Nations and I will discuss post 9-11 U.S./U.N. effectiveness. Saturday speakers include: * Former USAID Administrator Brian Atwood, President, Citizens International The Development Imperative - Creating the Pre-Conditions for Peace *Former Asst. Secretary of Defense, Kenneth Bacon, President, Refugees International, Peace Operations: Opportunities from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe *Jeff Laurenti, Executive Director of Policy, UNA-USA and Professor Saul Mendlovitz of Rutgers University, World Order Models Project Building An Effective U.N. - Current Challenges of Structural Reform *Associate Provost Winston Langley of University of Massachusetts Boston The United Nations' Priorities in a post 9-11 World In addition to an array of highly prestigious speakers, members of the Massachusetts House Congressional Delegation will receive the Global Statesmanship Awards.
