Other panelists include Michael Møller, Director-General, United Nations Office at Geneva; Carsten Staur, Ambassador and Permanent Representative of Denmark to the United Nations Office and other international organizations in Geneva; Jarmo Sareva, Director of the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research; and John Kierulf, author and retired diplomat with Denmark's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
