Abstract
The roles of the International Astronomical Union, the other ICSU Unions, UNESCO and the UN are reviewed in order to assess the way forward to resolve a unique situation - the impact of civilisation on the observational procedures of a particular science - astronomy. Action to create a modus vivendi to allow the continuance of vigorous astronomical science within a vibrant technological society is suggested.
