The Economist "The World in 2008" issue is out and selling on newstands and it has some great, brief articles relevant to MUN topics. This one is An Article written by Secretary-General Ban-ki Moon discussing what UN's priorities should be in 2008 and I think it's a great document just to have on the website (he mentions Darfur and Climate Change as UN priorities, the language isn't too complicated, it's a "voice of the UN" type thing, etc).

Question for Students:
1. "Principaled pragmatism" refers to a practical, matter-of-fact way of approaching or assessing situations or of solving problems based on defined standards of rightness or morality. Do you think this is an appropriate approach to solving world problems? What are some advantages of this approach? Disadvantages?
2. Do you agree with the priorities of the United Nations? What other priorities do you think the United Nations should consider that are not included in this article?
