Two independent commissions have issued reports: “The United Nations in Its Second Half-Century”, produced by an independent working group under the co-chairmanship of Mr. Richard von Weizacker and Mr. Moeen Qureshii, sponsored at my request by the Ford Foundation and facilitated by Yale University; and “Our Global Neighbourhood”, produced by the Commission on Global Governance under the co-chairmanship of Mr. Ingvar Carlsson and Mr. Shridath Ramphal.
