Report of the ICPF Uncommon Opportunities


The Report of the International Commission on Peace and Food brings together many of the issues central to the reflection on development which the United Nations is trying to encourage.... Once again, we see the inescapable relationships governing the goals of peace, development and democratization.

Boutros Boutros-Ghali, United Nations Secretary General


The end of the Cold War has created unprecedented opportunities for rapid progress on issues of concern to all humankind - peace, food security, economic development and the environment. Fresh thinking and fresh initiatives are needed to convert those opportunities into realities. I view the work of the International Commission on Peace and Food as an important step in promoting global peace and prosperity.
