The Vital Role of the UN
in Preserving Planet Earth
A reception and discussion featuring the distinguished
Dr. Robert Muller
and Susan J. Zipp on the Earth Charter
Wednesday, February 5, 6 pm
(Registration and reception, 6 pm; Program, 7 pm)
St. Francis Hotel, Union Square, San Francisco
With the Bush Administration opting out of the Kyoto Accords and its increasingly unilateral actions, does the U.N. hold any value? Join us for a discussion to hear about the many contributions the world organization is making to sustainable development and world peace and learn why the U.N. will continue to play a vital role in the future.
We are proud to present Dr. Robert Muller, former UN Assistant Secretary General and Chancellor Emeritus of the University for Peace in Costa Rica. Known throughout the world as a peacemaker who has worked closely with three Secretaries General, Dr. Muller has won countless awards for his fresh thinking about directions the world should take towards peace. Come hear his ideas in this time of conflict and change. Margaret Mead called him "The most brilliant man in the UN!" Following the presentation, Dr. Muller will answer questions from the audience and make himself available to autograph his recent biography Prophet-The Hatmaker's Son, by Douglas Gillies (www.eastbeach.org). Susan J. Zipp will speak about the Earth Charter (www.earthcharter.org).
