UN Day Events at UNM 10/24

UPDATE: The Albuquerque Journal printed an incorrect date for UN Day at UNM, which I used in this post. As noted by one of the commenters in this thread, UN Day events will be held on Monday, October 24. You can contact the UN Association at 293-9693 for more information.

The University of New Mexico will host UN Day on Monday, October 17 October 24, to observe the 60th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations. All events are free and will be at the Student Union Building.

Albuquerque civil rights attorney Eric Sirotkin will speak on "Peacemaking in the 21st Century: Embracing Our Similarities" at 7:00 PM in Ballroom A. The event also features workshops from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM on topics including health care in developing countries, UN reform, human rights and threats such as poverty, nuclear weapons and disease. Workshop presenters will include Sirotkin, Martin Brennan, diplomat-in-residence for the U.S. Department of State, and Greg Mello of the Los Alamos Study Group.

The event is sponsored by the United Nations Association of Albuquerque. For more information, call 242-0769 or 293-9693.
