VCDNP Senior Fellow Angela Kane was featured in the 2016-2017 United Nations Association of Germany's (Deutsche Gesellschaft für die Vereinten Nationen – DGVN) biennial report. The report, entitled "#DieUNundWir" (#theUNandUs), features the work of the DGVN over the past few years. Articles in this issue discuss Ms. Kane's extensive career at the United Nations, including her role as UN High Representative for Disarmament Affairs. In this capacity, she led the investigation of the Syrian chemical weapons programme from 2013-2015, for which she earned the Dag Hammarskjöld Medal of Honor. The DGVN has awarded this medal since 1977 to recognize individuals who have demonstrated outstanding contributions to solving the world’s problems in scientific, cultural, journalistic and political fields, as promoted by the UN system.
