[WSIS CS-Plenary] Building a More Democratic UN

[Elizabeth Carll, PhD]

Hi Karen,

Sorry for the delay in posting more information as to your request, but have
been attending some pressing matters.  A good source for the reading about
the People's Assembly or People's House is Building a More Democratic United
Nations,  Proceedings from the First International Conference on a More
Democratic UN, Frank Barnaby, 1991.  This may be of interest in view of the
interest in the UN Conference in Canada.

Wasn't planning on attending, but I like how one of the agenda items is
"Teaching an Old Dog New Tricks."

Looks like it is a private "invitation only" conference, since you can't
log-in to the official website:

Waterloo, Ont. � About 90 top diplomats, politicians and other
international experts from around the world are expected to attend a
three-day conference in this southern Ontario city to discuss United
Nations reform.

Paul Heinbecker, Canada's former ambassador to the UN, is organizing
an event that will include Louise Frechette, the UN's deputy
secretary-general; Jean Ping, president of the UN General Assembly;
Canada's UN Ambassador Allan Rock; and about 19 other ambassadors
from around the world.
