SI prioritise Global Peace and Climate Change

05.07.2007: Global peace and stability and climate change were at the centre of discussions of the Council of the Socialist International at its meeting in Geneva on Friday 29 and Saturday 30 June.

Close to 400 delegates from over 120 political parties and organisations from all regions of the world, including a number of heads of state participated in the SI council last week. The central theme of the meeting was "Working for global peace and stability in a world of conflicts without borders" and the Council addressed the role of the worldwide social democratic movement in contributing to the resolution of conflicts and greater global stability. In addition, the Council launched a Commission for a Sustainable World Society to develop a common approach and proposals by the social democratic movement to face the pressing issues of climate change, energy and governance.
