Dear Hunter,

Hi!  Hope you are well.  So our mutual friend is coming into town on March
30-31.  We are close to completing, after a massive effort, a
highly-detailed platform with 50 specific commitments if he is elected.  Of
course it has a strong exec summary and ten highlighted commitments up
front.

Taking this public, as he will, on around April 7-8th, will actually be
historic – regardless of how the race turns out — given that no candidate
for the position has ever published anything about their vision in running,
let alone something like this.  And the platform will drive discussions
among the candidates for SG.

He is making his way around the world consulting with the P5 about the
ideas in his draft platform to seek and secure their input.

I’ve asked for meetings for him with Tony (or Tom Shannon) at State, Ben
Rhodes/Steve Pomper at the NSC, and then chair/ranking on SFR and foreign
ops approps subcommittees so Corker/Cardin/Graham/Leahy and
Royce/Engel/Granger/Lowey.

It would seem to me that this might be the right time for our guy to have a
private substantive discussion w/your Dad, if you thought that made sense.
While our guy has had to walk a delicate line with nods to the P5 on their
core interests, the platform is *very strong and progressive overall*,
embracing fully sustainable development and climate change efforts,
addressing the most urgent issues in peacekeeping around responding to the
threat of terrorism and rebuilding failing states in MENA, and on human
rights and UN reform.  Securing his input now to make sure his priorities
make it into the final draft would be invaluable of course.

Best,

Jared

*The UN Security Council in the Age of Human Rights*

Cambridge University Press, 2014

Co-Edited by Jared Genser and Bruno Stagno Ugarte

<http://www.cambridge.org/us/academic/subjects/law/public-international-law/united-nations-security-council-age-human-rights>

For decades the UN Security Council skirted human rights, addressing them
sporadically, reluctantly, and typically without reference to binding
standards. That began to change with the end of the Cold War, as easing
political tensions allowed the Council gradually to act on the fact that
upholding the norms against atrocities is intimately connected to its
classic mandate of defending international peace and security. Yet even
since then, that evolution has been contested, particularly when the
Council’s permanent five members fear the topic might come back to haunt
them or their close allies. This exceptional volume of essays provides a
comprehensive assessment of the Council’s conflicting views on human rights
with more nuance, sophistication, and historical memory than anything else
around. It helps us to understand how the shifting battles over human
rights are being waged in the Council and provides guidance as to how the
Council can more effectively defend our rights in the future.

*Kenneth Roth, Executive Director, Human Rights Watch*

During the last 20 years, the UN Security Council has embraced the
protection of individual rights as a matter of international peace and
security. That said, progress has been uneven and there have been both
great strides forward and terrible setbacks. This timely and important
book provides
the first comprehensive assessment about how the Security Council works to
address major human-rights challenges around the world and recommends ways
it can do so more effectively.
