The United States and the United Nations: can this marriage be saved? That’s the title of an upcoming talk in New Hampshire given by a top advisor to the U.N. Foundation and longtime U.N. official. She’ll be in the Granite State this week to discuss the sometimes rocky relationship between the world body and its biggest, most powerful member.

Guest

  • Gillian Sorenson, Senior Advisor at the United Nations Foundation. Gillian has a long history with the United Nations, having served in different capacities under both Secretary-General Kofi Annan and Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali, and as New York City Commissioner for the United Nations and Consular Corps for twelve years.
