The Fifty-eighth General Assembly
Challenges as diverse as HIV/AIDS, weapons of mass destruction, organized crime, cloning, African development and the role of peacekeeping were all part of the agenda of the fifty-eighth session of the General Assembly. And though headlines may be dominated one day by a cloned sheep and another day by an operation netting a shipment of drugs, the root causes of these also require a global response addressed in a universal forum of the United Nations. (Section coordinated and written by Vikram Sura.)
