Communication, Empathy and the Crisis of Multilateralism: Gassman’s Lesson to Us

UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres draws a key lesson for the UN from the experience of the Global Compact for Migration. It is not enough to communicate rationally about the fundamental values of the United Nations. The UN should go the extra mile in communicating more empathically with the public and counter the negative social media campaigns that build on false data and people’s fears.

Staffan De Mistura, the soon-to-be Former “Mission-Impossible” Man in Syria

Although De Mistura is resigning for “personal reasons”, he will henceforth be working until November to continue to enforce the noble peacekeeping tasks set upon him, in an effort to leave his successor an environmental framework well suited for peacekeeping progress. Without a doubt, even in spite of the slight shroud of mystery cast over his sudden resignation, De Mistura’s work has left a noticeable footprint on the Syrian geo-political landscape, something his successor will have to influence further in an effort to reach such long sought-after peace.
