December 2000 In June 2000 Geneva played host to what's being called the most significant gathering of world leaders in history. They discussed not nuclear weapons or high finance, but the everyday issues that between them confront almost all the Earth's six billion people - work, poverty and inequality - the very issues that Life has been looking at. The meeting from 26th - 30th June was a Review of progress on the pledges made at the 1995 Copenhagen Social Summit - on poverty eradication, employment and social integration. It's been dubbed the 'Justice Summit' - a special session of the UN General Assembly, and the first ever to be organized outside the UN's Headquarters in New York.
