The Elders were recently at ONE UN New York for a peace seminar to discuss the importance of multilateralism and the role of the United Nations in sustaining peace, promoting good governance, and tackling global challenges from climate change to mass migration.

Founded by the late revolutionist, philanthropist and President of South Africa, Nelson Mandela, The Elders is an international non-governmental organisation of global leaders who work together for peace and human rights.

Key speakers include former UN Secretary General and Chairman of The Elders Mr Kofi Annan, former Norway Prime Minister and Deputy Chair of The Elders, Ms Gro Harlem Brundtland, former President of Ireland Ms Mary Robinson, and Mr Lakhdar Brahimi, Algerian United Nations diplomat.

The event was moderated by Warren Hoge, Senior Advisor for External Relations at the International Peace Institute.
