In 2001 - just after 9\/11 - he and the UN jointly received the \u003cbr\u003e\nNobel Peace Prize, 'for their work for a better organized and more \u003cbr\u003e\npeaceful world.' These and other crucial events - including the crises \u003cbr\u003e\nover Kosovo and East Timor, and the war in Iraq - are encapsulated in \u003cbr\u003e\nthis book of Kofi Annan's key speeches from throughout his term of \u003cbr\u003e\noffice. The selection gives a broad view of Annan's most pressing \u003cbr\u003e\nconcerns, and the eloquence with which he addressed them. Covering \u003cbr\u003e\nsubjects  from development, health, and climate change to the prevention\u003cbr\u003e\n of genocide and the ideal of diversity, these statements show how \u003cbr\u003e\ndeeply involved the UN was in the most important issues of the era. We \u003cbr\u003e\nthe Peoples is a timely and much-needed reminder of Annan's ideas and \u003cbr\u003e\npriorities; his words on war, peace, humanity, and 'man's inhumanity to \u003cbr\u003e\nman' still resonate today. This book will offer many pointers for \u003cbr\u003e\nmaintaining and developing the UN as a vital instrument for humanity in \u003cbr\u003e\nthe coming decades.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kofi Annan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44241186029628,"sku":"9781612055589","price":4871.25,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/7706\/7836\/files\/we-the-peoples-a-un-for-the-21st-century-9781612055589.jpg?v=1776795146","url":"https:\/\/libertybooksstore.myshopify.com\/products\/we-the-peoples-a-un-for-the-21st-century","provider":"LibertyBooksStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
