12:30 - 14:20, Friends of Europe, Bibliothèque Solvay,Parc Léopold,Rue Belliard 137
The 2009 Arab Human Development Report focused on human security in the Arab world. Is the focal point of security really shifting from the state to the individual? What reforms can we make in terms of policy, and in terms of action, to incorporate this changing perspective?

Does the responsibility for human security lie with the Arab States themselves? Or is there a role for the EU and other external actors? And if so, what should this role be?

The orchestra perform two great works, The Firebird, the first work Stravinsky wrote for Sergey Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes, was a resounding success at its première in Paris in 1910. Though Beethoven’s Violin Concerto is now regarded as one of the masterpieces of his great repertoire, it was not unanimously well-received after its creation in 1806 and it was forty years before it was performed again.
