UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon: 'Securing the common good'

On 13 June 2008 at the Royal Geographical Society, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon delivered a speech under UNA-UK’s auspices in his first major public appearance in the UK.

In the speech, entitled ‘Securing the Common Good: The United Nations and the Expanding Global Agenda’, Mr Ban praised UNA-UK’s role in cultivating constructive UK government engagement with the UN and in ‘explaining the UN to the UK while helping to convey the concerns of British citizens to the UN’.

He said that the international community had ‘a unique opportunity to enhance the UN’s central role in world affairs’ to deliver results for a more prosperous, more secure and more just world.
