“Our colleagues were in many ways a random group. They were from many agencies, with many areas of expertise, from the highest level in the hierarchy, to all kinds of functions within the UN and coming from all over the world. Yet, together, they also were a mirror of the United Nations: they really represent what the United Nations is, and the best of the United Nations.”
