We cordially invite interested students from all faculties to participate in the second and final session of the UN High Level Panel on Threats, Challenges and Change Simulation. The High-Level Panel was established by UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan in November 2003.
According to the terms of reference, the 16 members of the Panel are asked to recommend "clear and practical measures for ensuring effective collective responses to the common security problems and challenges facing Member States, based upon a rigorous analysis of future threats to peace and security, an appraisal of the contribution that collective action can make, and a thorough assessment of existing approaches, instruments and mechanisms, including the principal organs of the United Nations". They will submit their final report to the Secretary General in December 2004. The Panel at the Freie Universität Berlin started the drafting process on 4 - 5 March and presented a draft report which is to be finalized in the final session in November 2004.
