"Today's world cannot be secure without security for all, yet the events of the past few years have done little to bring global solutions closer. The UN Secretary-General was right to seek suggestions for new approaches from the High-level Panel that reported in December 2004, and right to endorse their major proposals for consideration at the 2005 UN General Assembly."

Alyson J. K. Bailes
