**INVITATION**
Webster University Round-table on
THE CURRENT OUTLOOK FOR INTERNATIONAL ORDER
13 November 2003
The International Relations Program of Webster University, together with the
World Federation of United Nations Associations, is convening a Round-table
under the title The Current Outlook for International Order, to be held on 13
November 2003 at the International Conference Center of Geneva.
Today, less than fifteen years after the end of the cold war there is a new,
widespread preoccupation throughout the world with the outlook for
international economic, political and security order. Beyond the concern about
the outcome of crises such as Iraq, the deadlock in the Middle East, the
terrorist threat, the blackmail with weapons of mass destruction and the
tensions in the economic relations between developed and developing countries,
the sense of insecurity and disorientation is also due to a growing confusion
even about the desirable features of international order.
Thus the objective of the roundtable is to examine (1) the nature of the
current crisis, (2) the need to redefine and reaffirm the basic principles of
a democratic and peaceful international order and (3) the conditions for
strengthening the international order based on respect for freedom and human
rights, cooperation and solidarity as well as global security.
This event will be a follow-up to the Webster conference of November 2002 on
Global Challenges and the Atlantic Community and is part of a series of
conferences and seminars dealing with important contemporary humanitarian,
political and economic issues organized by the International Relations Program
of Webster University with the participation of the Geneva international
community. Attendance is open to the diplomatic community, international
organizations, the academic community, and the interested general public.
