Are we ready to face the challenges of the next century or even the next decade? We can be if we are able to place humanitarian concerns at the centre rather than the periphery of national and global policies. The Independent Commission, after examining a whole range of humanitarian issues with the help of an international group of experts, makes far-reaching recommendations to bring about the changes that could make contemporary society more humane.
This Report is not a story of gloom but a message of hope. It is essential reading for all tht)se committed to "winning the human race'.
