Dag Hammarskjöld Foundation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Dag Hammarskjöld Foundation pays tribute to the memory of the second Secretary - General of the United Nations by searching for and examining workable alternatives for a socially and economically just, ecologically sustainable, peaceful and secure world. The Dag Hammarskjöld Foundation is situated in Uppsala, Sweden.
In the spirit of Dag Hammarskjöld's integrity, his readiness to challenge the dominant powers and his passionate plea for the right and sovereignty for small nations to shape their own destiny, the Foundation seeks to examine mainstream understanding of development and bring to the debate alternative perspectives of often otherwise unheard voices.
By making possible the meeting of minds, experiences and perspectives through the organising of seminars and dialogues, the Foundation plays a catalysing role in the identification of new issues and the formulation of new concepts, policy proposals, strategies and work plans towards solutions. The Foundation seeks to be at the cutting edge of the debates on development and security, thereby continuously embarking on new themes in close collaboration with a wide and constantly expanding international network.
