'O United Nations'

Sinha M. A. Sayeed, a Bangladeshi writer of global understanding and standing, has written a book titled 'O United Nations' published by Bangladesh Political Science Association. This website publication is, in fact, an expanding form of the original book printed in 2007. It's really a challenging and appreciable venture to write a book in prose-poetry appearance on UN touching almost all the leading issues in and around UN, its member states and the world as a whole.

Focusing on the past, present and future of UN, the book is a stunning landscape of UN. Re the continuance and unavoidable necessity of a global body in the vein of UN under the circumstances, approving or not, it carries and passes a message of positivism and optimism for the readers, persons involved in politics and statecrafts, persons and scholars of various scales, magnitudes, folds, shades and backgrounds at national, regional and international levels.

I welcome and endorse the very title of 'Global Voice' conferred upon Sinha M. A. Sayeed by various national and international bodies including Bangladesh Philosophical Association, Yale Model United Nations XXXV and Bogota Free Planet. Let United Nations, the largest global body standing more comprehensively and inclusively on the remains of United Nations Organization, feels on the house to embrace and make use of Sinha M. A. Sayeed in a befitting mood and mode.
