  • Ka Nui Te Mihi Kia Koutou Katoa. a Warm Welcome to the United Nations Association of New Zealand 2020 Conference
    Ka nui te mihi Kia koutou katoa. A warm welcome to the United Nations Association of New Zealand 2020 Conference. Each year the United Nations Association of New Zealand (UNA NZ) holds its main event: the National Conference. Past themes have included Global Summitry, The International Rules Based Order: climate change, disarmament and non-aggression. We also mark the occasion with the Dame Laurie Salas Memorial Lecture. Dame Laurie was a stalwart of UNA NZ and made valued contributions to peace and security within the United Nations context. This year our theme marks 75 years of the UN’s existence. Arising from the tragedy of World War II and the former League of Nations, the United Nations has grown into the planet’s most significant agency promoting peace, human rights, and most recently the Sustainable Development Goals. The last 75 years have seen wars concluded, 100s of millions rising out of poverty, pandemics, increasing periods of peace and less wars, resolution of innumerable issues, and above all, hope for justice, humanity, and a better world. Not all has been perfect. There have been failures. But without the United Nations, you may well ask: where would we be? Would the world be as safe, secure and prosperous? Would/could climate change be worse? This conference aims to provide insights from well-informed academics, politicians and notable practitioners. We welcome your attendance, your questions, views and insights. Peter Nichols, President, United Nations Association of New Zealand Sessions: Saturday 25 July 2020, 10.00am-4.30pm Time Session Speakers 10.00am Mihi whakatau and welcome Peter Nichols, National President 10.05am Special session: Dr Gill Greer, Equality Activist and Dame Laurie Salas Memorial Address Advocate Dr Gill Greer will provide a frank insight into the UN from a position as someone with a wealth of experience in not-for-profit organisations engaging with the UN system and a driving force behind The People's Report on the 2030 Agenda and Sustainable Development Goals.
