Welcome to New World Autumn 2011
The Autumn issue of New World is dedicated to peace and security.

In an exclusive interview, Alain Le Roy, outgoing head of UN peacekeeping, speaks about the successes and challenges of those who risk their lives for peace in other countries. Our cover feature puts the spotlight on children and armed conflict, with Marie Staunton, Chief Executive of Plan UK, focussing on 'girls in the shadow of war'

This issue also features articles on the birth of South Sudan, the human cost of Sri Lanka's civil war, and recent instability in Malawi. In our members section, we report on the 2011 UNA-UK Policy Conference and introduce the new UNA Youth Council. Our Young Professionals interviewee is Zoya Phan, an activist working for Burma Campaign UK.

As announced in the last issue of New World, the printed magazine (view pdf) is undergoing a transformation and we would be grateful for your feedback ahead of this change. Please click here to complete our short questionnaire.
