Abstract: Until quite recently, the threat of nuclear war and the proliferation of heavy weapons dominated the global security debate. However, since the beginning of the 1990s, the small arms and light weapons discourse has displaced the nuclear debate as the greatest threat to global security on the international agenda. Thanks to the efforts of the Secretary-General of the United Nations (UN), Kofi Annan, the international community was reminded in 1998 of the impact of the proliferation of conventional weapons, especially small arms and light weapons. Hence, in a report on Africa to the Security Council in April 1998, Mr. Annan made several important recommendations to tackle the trade in small arms and light weapons, both legal and illicit. 2023-01-01T00:00:00Z https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/123489 Title: Freedom from want : international responses in the alleviation of poverty Authors: Ghigo, Albert Abstract: Freedom from want, alongside with freedom from fear and the freedom for future generations to sustain their lives on earth are the three principal areas identified as needing particular attention from the world community at large in the Millennium Assembly. In his Millennium report, the Secretary-General of the United Nations (UN) Kofi Annan clearly underlined under Agenda item 49(b) the fact that while the eradication of poverty will become the most pressing challenge in the years to come, its elimination is the responsibility of everyone and not only of the leaders of those States which have a high proportion of poor within their populations. 2003-01-01T00:00:00Z
