About the product

In his Annual Report on the Work of the Organization, Secretary-General Kofi Annan ardently stresses the growing global challenge of preventing war and natural disaster. He states that the international community knows what needs to be done to achieve this but lacks the foresight and political will. He also highlights the importance of a culture of prevention over a culture of reaction and the difficulty of the task ahead in creating a better world for succeeding generations.
