UNSG.org is pleased to be partnering with Bridging Nations in the planning and promotion of the following event:

THE SECRETARY GENERAL SELECTION:
A CANDIDATES FORUM

Waldorf-Astoria • New York, NY
26 September 2006

Bridging Nations will be hosting a first ever forum to bring together all declared candidates for Secretary General of the United Nations and provide them with an open and public venue to discuss their distinct agendas for the future of the United Nations.

The Candidates Forum will build on the unprecedented transparency of this year’s selection process and provide an opportunity for the world public to learn more about those individuals seeking this high post.

Former Canadian Ambassador Allan Rock, speaking before the UN Correspondents Association in May, remarked, “…[T]his past February, in Davos, Switzerland, the World Economic Forum managed to get persons who identify themselves as candidates [for UNSG] onto a stage in front of an international audience to talk about their approach to the job.  Well if the World Economic Forum can do it, why can’t the General Assembly of the United Nations?”   

For more information on the Candidates Forum, contact Julio Martinez at Bridging Nations by email at info@bridgingnations.org or phone at 202-741-3875.
