Mary Robinson urges leveraging partnerships for reforming the UN

Mary Robinson, president of Realizing Rights: The Ethical Globalization Initiative and a GPPi board member, has argued that partnerships between the UN, NGOs and business are a promising ​“new way of doing business” and can help revitalize a United Nations stuck in the 20^th Century. In an article published in the International Herald Tribune she argues that partnerships can ​“fill the gaps that our leaders have left” at the recent UN World Summit. For more on the UN experience of partnering with business and NGOs see GPPi’s recent study Business UNusual: Facilitating United Nations Reform through Partnerships, which Mary Robinson has also endorsed.
