A More Secure World

A More Secure World Synopsis

Today, more than ever before, a threat to one is a threat to all. Threats to international peace and security go far beyond aggression by states and include poverty, deadly infectious disease, environmental degradation, civil war, weapons of mass destruction, terrorism and transnational organized crime. This report by 16 of the world's most experienced leaders, commissioned by the United Nation's Secretary-General, puts forward a bold new vision of collective security that stresses the need for effective, equitable action in preventing and responding to all major threats to international peace and security.
