COVID-19 has brought home, besides human vulnerability, another painful story of global mismanagement. The authors argue persuasively that if we want to build back better and achieve peace, development and respect for human rights, there is no other option but to work together in a multilateral setting and make use of the tools available to us in the United Nations and its Charter. An important and enlightening read for all those who are interested in a better world. - H.E. Mr. Mohamed ElBaradei, the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and former Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (1997-2009) After all the 75th anniversary calls for a recommitment to multilateralism in an era of pandemic and climate crisis, what is needed is exactly what these authors from different regions provide: translation into specific detail that is actionable, drawn from real experience, and yet as idealistic as the UN Charter itself. - Mr. Ian Martin, Former Special Representative of the Secretary-General of the United Nations in Libya, Nepal and East Timor and former Secretary General of Amnesty International (1986-1992)

The authors discuss the consequences of the pandemic in several critical fields and offer practical recommendations for a coordinated and effective response by international actors. An important read for all who believe in our common humanity and want to do better for future generations. - Ms. Angela Kane, Former UN High Representative for Disarmament Affairs and Former Under-Secretary-General for Management of the United Nations An interesting new addition to the field of international public policy discourse, 'The Future of Diplomacy after COVID-19' underscores the huge importance of multilateral engagement and global cooperation in shaping the outcome of pandemics and other disasters. In particular, the authors, drawing from their diverse experiences as diplomats and practitioners, make the case for how, just as in 1919 and 1945, 2020 has proved that 'global matters [are] best addressed through diplomacy'. - H.E. Ambassador Lana Nusseibeh, Assistant Minister for Political Affairs and Permanent Representative of the United Arab Emirates to the United Nations
