Voices in the News - Morton Abramowitz on Iraq

Morton Abramowitz, IRC board member and senior fellow at the Century Foundation, a think tank, co-wrote an opinion piece in the international edition of Newsweek this week about the Iraqi refugee crisis with Jonathan Kolieb, a Century foundation research associate.

"Because addressing the cause of the refugee crisis—the unraveling of Iraq—will be an intensely political job, it will take a world-class political figure to lead it: U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon," Abramowitz and Kolieb write. "Only Ban, with the United Nations' backing, has a chance of bringing together the many nations caught up in the problem and providing a comprehensive solution." Link
