The United Nations' High-level Panel on Threats, Challenges and Change was created in 2003 to analyse threats and challenges to international peace and security, and to recommend action based on this analysis.[1] It was chaired by former Prime Minister of Thailand Anand Panyarachun, and its members included former United States National Security Advisor Brent Scowcroft, as well as several former heads of government and foreign ministers as members. In December 2004, it produced a report on threats to peace and security.[2]
