Chaired by Kerry O\u2019Brien
\nAs our Foreign Minister from 1988 \u2013 1996 and President of the Brusselsbased International Crisis Group thereafter, Gareth Evans is uniquely qualified to discuss the importance of good international citizenship in our interconnected world. Outlining four key tenets to assess a country\u2019s record \u2013 foreign aid generosity, reaction to conflicts and their consequences, response to human rights violations, and contribution to global crises \u2013 he finds Australia wanting on all of them. His essay is a call for change and decency in the way we engage with the world.
