Launched two years ago with the assistance and blessing of the Swiss government and the involvement of former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, the Global Humanitarian Forum is two million francs in debt and will most likely be closed at the end of the month. Host Philippe Mottaz, Daniel Warner from Geneva’s Graduate Institute, Stéphane Bussard from the foreign desk of Le Temps, writer Matthew Stevenson and journalist Ed Girardet discuss what went wrong in Geneva.
Also on the agenda: the controversy about humanitarian aid sparked by a recent BBC investigation into funds collected for famine relief in Ethiopia which were diverted to buy weapons—and will Barack Obama’s historic win on health care free him to devote more time to urgent domestic and foreign policy initiatives, such as the stalled Middle East peace process?
