U Thant: A UN Secretary-General for today

The 1960s were characterised by the threat of nuclear war and proxy wars. This makes it all the more important to bring the forgotten UN Secretary-General U Thant back into the limelight and learn from his peacemaker diplomacy.

In his new article, FURCHE editor Wolfgang Machreich reproduces the conversation that took place on 11 May at the Bruno Kreisky Forum between Thant Myint-U and Ulrike Lunacek. You can read this content in the Issue of the Furche from 20 May or via download on this page.
