Following is a brief description of the program, COURAGE IN THE STORM -- Reaffirming the U.N. Charter in Today’s Chaos, and our presenter, Honorable Douglas Roche.

TOPIC:  The international system that we have known for the past 80 years, has been ruptured. With international law shredded and authoritarianism spreading, we are tossed about on raging seas. We need something solid to hold onto. We must cling to the United Nations Charter in these troubled times. The Charter not only provides an antidote to today’s chaos, it is the basis for our hope for peace with social justice. The U.N. is under attack. We must not lose our courage in advocating the U.N.’s “The Pact for the Future,” which charts a path to a brighter future for all of humanity.
