"existential dangers...
are compounded
by a threat multiplier
cyber-enabled
information warfare
that undercuts society’s ability to respond"

Jerry Brown explains it well @ 42:15-49:00

75 years since the UN Charter was ratified
In 2015 world leaders pledged to support 17 UN #GlobalGoals

"Believe me, in Peace, as in War,
governments can only act with success
when the people that they represent
WANT them to do so”

The UN Charter was signed on 26th June 1945

"If we had this Charter a few years ago -and above all- the will to use it, millions now dead would be alive.

If we should falter in the future -in our will to use it- millions now living will surely die"

4 months later in London
24th October 1945
The UN Charter was ratified
& The United Nations was born.

-“It’s not perfect
-nothing made by human beings ever is
-but there is only one way of improving it
-and that is to use it
-and to use it the the full.”

Worth noting that:
Clement Attlee was British Prime Minister (1945-51)
when Churchill delivered his United States of Europe speech.

"The League of Nations...failed because these principles were deserted by those States who had brought it into being"

"What we are witnessing is a global phenomenon something big has changed"

Great thread from George

"We need to wake up
We need to wise up
We need to o-pen our eyes
and do it now, now, now
We need to #BuildABetterFuture
and we need to start right now"
