Topic: The Evolution of International Organization: The United Nations, Sri Chinmoy and World Peace

Place: Auditorium in Nedre Lysthus

More Information: The evolution of international organization over the past century is clear: the League of Nations evolved into the United Nations, and the latter has grown in responsibilities and prestige, despite many setbacks. Contemporary peace philosopher and civil society leader Sri Chinmoy has been serving at the United Nations for over 37 years. His special insights into the “big picture” have inspired a great many people to work for peace and for progress at the United Nations.

Dr. Dorn is a professor in Canada, specializing in arms control, UN peacekeeping and human security. He has studied the words and work of Sri Chinmoy. In this illustrated presentation, he will share the special insights of this unique peace leader and examine the evidence of a substantial and ongoing evolution of international organization.
