Africa at Noon with Ambassador John L. Hirsch ('65)

Ambassador John L. Hirsch ('65), Senior Adviser, International Peace Institute, will highlight the important transformation of the Organization of African Unity into the African Union in 2002. The transition from the principle of non-interference to the principle of non-indifference, as expressed by former AU Chairperson Alpha Oumar Konaré, has led over the past decade to African Union peacekeeping deployments in Burundi, Darfur, Mali, Somalia and the Central African Republic.
