UK National Security and the Future of the UN with Sir Mark Lyall Grant
Sunday, 2 August, 2020
The Stubbs society is delighted to welcome Sir Mark Lyall Grant, the former UK National Security Adviser and Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the United Nations, to our summer podcast series. Sir Mark is a former senior civil servant whose career in the Foreign Office stretched across four decades. Besides his roles in the United Nations and as National Security Adviser, Grant has also served as High Commissioner to Pakistan, the Director General for Political Affairs at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, and in diplomatic roles spread across the world, from Paris to Pretoria. In this podcast, our president, Joe Davies, will be speaking to Sir Mark about his time working in the Foreign Office. They will discuss the experiences Mark had working under Theresa May and David Cameron, the National Security and terrorism threats the UK currently faces and whether reform of the United Nations is now an inevitability.
