Overview

"This text is based on a meeting, held in Geneva from 27 February to 1 March 1995, which challenged the fundamental conceptions behind the original United Nations by launching an entirely new Charter, written by Maurice Bertrand, for a worldwide organization which could replace the UN, the Bretton Woods organizations and the specialized agencies. The ""Bertrand Proposal"", the written commentaries which emphasize different aspects of the proposal, and a summary of the discussions are published in this book. The ""Bertrand Proposal"" is a contribution to future research and analysis of international organization and organizations and to the attempts to resolve the crisis of the international system. The book concludes that since the type of threats against peace, economic security and social development have changed, and the international community has not formulated an adequate response, it is up to a worldwide organization to try to organize the prevention of crises and conflicts."
