Breaking the Barriers

Two newly arrived Ambassadors to the United Nations, each with considerable experience of the media in their own countries, discuss the information projection capacity, and needs, of the Organization. "Much of what the United Nations does is very much a hidden story for most national media", observes Ambassador Hans Dahlgren of Sweden, while Ambassador Inocencio F. Arias of Spain feels that "the perception of the United Nations held by relevant social groups of the host country provokes a direct impact on the main work of the Organization".
