Scope and Content

The Planet is at Risk. A number of contemporaries offer commentary and suggestions to meet the challenges of the next century, including a) Nick Dunlop, Parliamentarians Global Action; b) Barbara Wien, Institute for Policy Studies; c) Norman Cousius, Author; d) Dieter Heinrich, World Association for World Federation; e) Patricia Mische, Global Education Associates; f) Benjamin Ferencz, Author; and g) Senator Paul Simon. Text of biographical informations scrolls at end of program. Ferencz asserts that international laws are defective but are improving (i.e. Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg). He also declares that a reformed planet is not utopian but, rather, self-evident. Ferencz admits that we must manage the planet in a rational way.
