About the Book
This book which is a collection of speeches
delivered by Mr. E. Ahamed at the UN General Assembly and Security Council,
over the years, presents at one place in a succinct manner, articulation of
India’s weltanschauung on various difficult and sensitive subjects of
international relations that have also helped shape the world’s views on those
very subjects.
This compilation is both timely and topical
as the world confronts a multitude of challenges and crises encompassing global
economic meltdown; war against terror; non-conventional threats to security;
energy crisis; global warming; poverty, hunger and destitution; and above all a
sheer lack of apt global governance to handle these in an integrated and
apolitical manner.
The underlying philosophy of speeches
underscores the need for adopting an integrated approach to solve various
problems. It emphasises implementation over mere pronouncements and reiterates
that denouncing force for the resolution of any conflict, be it ethnic,
religious, regional or economic, is the only way forward.
