UN Communications chief claims that the Organization is “…the talk of the town…”

“Kiyo Akasaka, Under-Secretary-General for Communications and Public Information, said ‘the United Nations was the talk of the town everywhere in the world’ during the week of the high-level segment of the General Assembly’s annual debate.”


He claims that this substantiates the unrivalled nature of the United Nations to affect international diplomacy and peacekeeping. But with the week long parade of high-level world leaders coming to New York, does the UN become more of a sound-bite on news radio than a long-term interest of the general public?
