Thanks for your timely & excellent initiative, Georgios & FOGGS.
ReplyDeleteThe final letter came out really well - positive, constructive & encouraging.
Very impressive list of signatories representing a broad cross-section of former UN system staff, including quite a few highly regarded senior officials. Hope the SG and his team will feel encouraged to be bolder and more proactive.
In his 2nd term, the SG has nothing to lose or fear, and much to gain in terms of his legacy by being more courageous in defence of the UN principles & ideals that we all cherish so deeply.
