V dnešní době - více než kdykoli předtím - je hrozba pro jednoho hrozbou pro všechny. Hrozby pro světový mír a bezpečnost už neznamenají pouze násilí mezi státy, ale zahrnují také chudobu, smrtelné nakažlivé nemoci, ničení životního prostředí, občanské války, zbraně hromadného ničení, terorismus a mezinárodní organizovaný zločin. Tato zpráva je prací 16 nejzkušenějších politckých lídrů, kteří byli pověřeni samotným Generálním Sekretářem OSN, nastiňuje novou odvážnou vizi kolektivní bezpečnosti, která klade důraz na efektivní prevenci a reakci na hlavní hrozby pro světový mír a bezpečnost.

Today, more than ever before, a threat to one is a threat to all. Threats to international peace and security go far beyond aggression by States and include poverty, deadly infectious disease, environmental degradation, civil war, weapons of mass destruction, terrorism and transnational organized crime. This report by 16 of the world’s most experienced leaders, commissioned by the United Nations Secretary-General, puts forward a bold new vision of collective security that stresses the need for effective, equitable action in preventing and responding to all major threats to international peace and security.
