ADDRESS
BY MR. VLADIMIR PETROVSKY
UNDER-SECRETARY-GENERAL OF THE UNITED NATIONS
DIRECTOR-GENERAL OF THE UNITED NATIONS OFFICE AT GENEVA
AT THE TWELFTH INTERNATIONAL TRAINING COURSE IN
SECURITY POLICY

Geneva Center for Security Policy, Geneva, 11 December 1997

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I t is an honour and a privilege for me to be among you today and

to address the distinguished members of the Twelfth Interna-
tional Training Course in Security Policy. I would like to avail
myself of this opportunity to thank Ambassador Woker and the Geneva Center
for Security Policy for associating the United Nations Office at Geneva to this
seminar. The two organizations are developing mutually beneficial ties of co-
operation and I fully support current efforts at institutionalizing this
relationship.

I would like to engage you today on the theme of “Peace operations as an
integrated part of the UN strategy for a more secure twenty-first century”.
