UN “New World Order and Global Society”
Patricia January 23rd, 2008
An interesting article in the Independent newspaper on Monday reveals that UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown is in
talks with other world leaders on far-reaching reform of the United Nations Security Council as part of a drive to create a “new world order” and “global society”.
This might be seen by some as extremely controversial… but it could also be a step toward global cooperation.
Recently I heard UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon speak in San Francisco at a World Affairs Council event. San Francisco is the city where the United Nations was founded and Moon made a pilgrimage to the site where the first charter was signed.
Moon impressed me as an intelligent, strong but humble, man. During his early years as a college exchange-student he told us he lived in Novato California with the Patterson family. He was reunited with the Pattersons during this visit to California. Earlier that day he told us he had visited their house in Novato and that evening he expressed his deep affection and appreciation to Mrs. Patterson & the family who were sitting on the front row in front of the San Francisco community. He thanked them for welcoming and embracing a shy young man from South Korea who spoke little English. At that time even he couldn’t imagine his future.
Moon impressed me as a person of integrity. He may well be one of the individuals who can help guide a consideration of a new world order and global society that would demonstrate unity and cooperation of all between all mankind.
Let me know what you think.
