About the product

War and natural disasters remain the major threats to the security of individuals and human communities worldwide. In confronting these horrors, the United Nations has long argued that prevention is better than cure. In this publication, Secretary-General Kofi Annan discusses the scope of the challenge, the root causes and the preventive strategies that should be undertaken in order to save the human community.
