The Dag Hammarskjöld Lecture will be given on Monday, Sep 19th, in the University Hall here in Uppsala, Sweden. This lecture is given once a year in memory of Dag Hammarskjöld, the former UN Secretary-General that originated from Uppsala. This year's lecture is held by Hans Blix who is from Uppsala as well. He was in the news frequently until 2003 as head of the United Nations Inspection Commission that investigated Iraq's weapons of mass destruction. In case you don't remember: they found none, the American government did not believe it and used it as an excuse to invade Iraq, they still have not found any.

Of course, I intend to go to the lecture.
