The panel discussion crafted by the Springfield, MO chapter of UNA-USA is:

Peaceful Resolution of International Conflicts through the United Nations

 

Presidents Roosevelt and Truman and Prime Minister Churchill dreamt that the United Nations would be the forum for the world to peacefully resolve international conflicts. What are the reasons for the UN’s successes and failures in attempting to fulfill this dream? What changes might bring greater success in peacefully resolving conflicts?

 

This panel will be moderated by UNA Chapter 178 President, Jack Hembree, and produced by UNA Chapter 178 Secretary, Ann Fuhrman.
