Details
Many people think of the United Nations as a large, slow, and expensive bureaucratic institution wracked by controversy and failures. But very few people really understand what it is, what it does, how it works and where it has been successful. In this Café Politique, we invite you to get to know this dynamic organisation a little better.
The event will feature a panel of experts from the University of Reading’s UN and Global Order Programme (UNGOP), and will include an exhibition of photographs related to their research projects showcasing and explaining different aspects of the UN. Photographs will depict a wide range of UN topics, from negotiations in the Security Council to peacekeeping operations in conflict zones.
