Managing Interdependence: Eleventh Conference on the United Nations of the Next Decade.

This report of the United Nations 11th conference is distributed in the hope that it will stimulate study, research, and education with respect to the United Nations and its vital role in achieving international peace and security and a better world. In 1976, international statesmen, diplomats, and scholars assembled at Charlottesville, Virginia to explore how nations may cooperate more effectively in their relationships with one another, without undue infringement upon national independence. Particular attention was given to the questions of a new international economic order and arms limitation and disarmament. Conference participants concluded that the United Nations needs more support from its member nations and their peoples. National governments have an obligation to bring international problems to the United Nations and to build closer ties with the United Nations into their national governmental structure. On the other hand, the United Nations must earn support by successful management of those problems for which it has been given sufficient management authority. (Author/RM)
