The School of Politics and International Relations are pleased to announce that to mark the 70th Anniversary of the UN, the United Nations Association will be holding a Symposium on Britain’s Future in the United Nations.

Sir Jeremy Greenstock, UK Ambassador to the UN 1998-2003 and current Chairman of the UNA, will be discussing ‘The UN at 70: has it run out of steam?’. Sir Jeremy will give an account of the current state of geopolitics, explore the rash of conflicts in the Middle East and elsewhere, and look at the strengths and weaknesses of the UN; explaining why collective international action is even more necessary at this juncture.

The School’s very own Dr Phillip Cunliffe will also be speaking at the event, along with two students from the Model United Nations Society.

The talk take place on Thursday 12th November 2015, at 18.00 in Keynes Lecture Theatre 1, however, you are welcome to meet Sir Jeremy over Tea and Coffee from 17.00 in the Keynes Atrium. A drinks reception will follow the discussions.

We look forward to welcoming you to what is sure to be a lively debate.
