With reference to the former, the Secretary-General has always enjoyed Mr. Lurie's work, and has been grateful as well for his strong support of the United Nations. I am afraid, however, that owing to the heavy demands of these early months in office, the Secretary-General will not be able to meet with Mr. Lurie. With regard to the foreword, the Secretary-General has great respect for Mr. M'Bow but must decline this request as well. Thank you again for your letters. The Secretary-General extends his best wishes to you and Mr. Lurie and for the improved health of Mr. M'Bow.

The cartoons in this volume deal with Aserious subject matters: gender equality, human rights, the education of women and girls, and the role of women around the globe. WOMEN DELIVER Women may be key to cultural stability and economic prosperity, but cultural traditions sometimes lag behind this realization. The cartoons here, which make up the exhibition organized by Women Deliver for their May 2013 global conference in Kuala Lumpur, help us to see cultural taboos and injustices from artists who are living and experiencing these traditions. The cartoonists come from Australia, Colombia, Ecuador, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, France, Germany, Holland, Iran, Japan, Palestine, Poland, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Women Deliver, The World Receives offers cartoon art that “crosses language borders and shows us our shared humanity.” Liza Donnelly, who collected the cartoons published here is a contract cartoonist with the New Yorker and a weekly columnist/cartoonist for Forbes.com and Women’s Enews. She has traveled around the world as a cultural envoy for the US State Department, speaking about freedom of speech, cartoons and women’s rights.
