Struggling

“We need [the museum] now because we are in a time of history where the structures, both the UN itself but also the governance structures generally across the world, are struggling. We have systems that are no longer as relevant and as impactful and as ready to take on the problems of today. And [the] UN Live [museum] could be and should be a tool to help rectify that. The way we rectify that is by creating a dialogue — not just between politicians and diplomats but between them and the people that were supposed to serve. And I think it’s incredibly important that those people, every single one of us somehow, has a way to get to the table where decisions are taken.”
