I am writing to extend to you a formal invitation to take part in the Summer • • • '--•"""t"'=· - -..-.------- ----- -Courses of this Umversi which are he every year m t e m.ont s o u and August,

at SanLorenzo de El Escorial, a XVI th century historical site, just north of Mad rtd-:- The University which last year celebrated its 7th Centenary is the largest in Spain and perhaps the most prestigious.

The Courses are addressed not only to graduate students but also to professors, government personnel, high ranking officers, etc. They have become both a political forum and an intellectual gathering of prominence in Europe and receive a wide covering by the Media. The lectures are delivered by outstanding personalities of all walks of life, from statesmen and writers to Nobel prizewinners, scientists and academics.

We are organising for this summer a Course to celebrate the first half-century of the United Nations and we thou ht that our r~ ce ~ ould be decisive in giving it the distinction and authority that the occasion deserves.We are flexible about dates and would leave it to you to establish the week more convenient for your agenda, between July 3rd and August 18th.

Ambassador Gardner has kindly accepted to convey this letter to Your Excellency. He has himself honoured us with his learned interventions in the Courses and has a personal knowledge of the scope and aims of our endeavour.

May I add what a great honour it would be for the University and for all of us your acceptance of this invitation which no doubt would command the attention of knowledgeable people and public opinion at large.

Looking forward to hearing from Your Excellency, I remain,

Il s'agit lA d'un theme essentiel A mes yeux et je suis heureux qu'il puisse se derouler, A Geneve, sous votre autorite.

Malheureusement je ne pourrai pas, A cette date, etre present parmi vous. En effet, je devrai, durant cette periode, demeurer A New York pour accueillir les chefs d'Etat qui participeront aux ceremonies du Cinquantieme anniversaire.

Je suis sur neanmoins que votre collogue connaitra un grand succes et je prendrai connaissance avec un grand interet du resultat de vos travaux.

Je vous prie d'agreer, Moncher Collegue, l'expression de mes sentiments bien cordiaux.

J ' a i maintenant seulement la pleine certitude que, grace a la generosite de l'Universite de Geneve, a ! 'engagement du CICR et au soutien du Siege genevois de l 'ONU, le Collo e sur: "L'ONU et le droit interna tiona l humanitaire" aura vraiement lieu.

Comme vous pouvez le constater en par courant le programme provisoire ci-joi nt, i l s'agira d'un collogue important sur le plan s cientifique , qui fera s ystemati­quement le tour de toute une serie de questions graves, tres actuelles et fort delicates, dont quelques - unes exclusivement ont ete jusqu 'ic i explorees de f a9on suffisante. Mais il s' agi ra aussi d'une rencontre large, s'adressant a un vas te public tant academique que de praticiens interesses, par laquelle Geneve fetera de fa9on adequate les 50 ans des Nat i ons Unies au moyen d'une initiative qui s ' i nsc r i t dans la Decenni e du Droit international et qui porte sur un suj et en meme t emps tres "genevois" et universe! .

J'ose maintenant vous ecri re - tout en sachant que c'est tres tard par rapport aux engagements que com­porte votre haute mission - pour vous prier de bien vou­loir examiner .. lapossibil i te __ de_ pJ endre la P3IT<>le dans le ~oll~que en question afin de presenter des conclusions generales , le samedi 21 octobre 1995, en fin de matinee. Je sais , en effet , - combfen la dimension humanitaire de l 'acti on de l 'ONU vous tient a coeur et combien d'energie vous deployez inlassablement dans ce sens. Votre inter­vent i on - si elle etait possible au vu de votre emploi du temps - donnerait un eclat extraordinaire au Collogue,

(PROJET - 12 AVRIL 1995)

COLLOQUE INTERNATIONAL SUR L'O.N.U. ET LE DROil INTERNATIONAL HUMANITAIRE

A l'occasion du 50eme anniversaire de l'O.N.U., la Faculte de Droit de l 'Universite de Geneve souhaite organiser, en collaboration avec l 'O.N.U. et le C. !.C .R., un colloque international sur •L'O.N.U. et le droit international humanitaire", qui se tiendra dans les locaux de la Faculte, les 19, 20 et 21 octobre 1995.

L'art. 1 de la Charte des Nations Unies inclut, parmi les buts que l 'organisation doit poursuivre, celui de "realiser la cooperation inter­nationale en resolvant les problemes internationaux d'ordre ... humani­taire ... "; et sans aucun doute l'O.N.U. s'est toujours activement occupee de cette vaste categorie de problemes. Mais les changements profonds qui sont intervenus depuis quelques annees dans les relations internationales ont incontestablement propulse au tout premier plan les preoccupations d 'ordre human ita ire : ce 11 es-c i sont desorma is a la base d' une pan op lie d'actions extremement fournie. Or, nombreuses sont, parmi ces actions, celles qui touchent au droit international humanitaire stricto sensu (d.i.h.), et posent par consequent des problemes d'interpretation, d'application, voire d'adaptation des regles conventionnelles ou coutumieres de caractere humanitaire applicables en cas de conflits armes.

D'une part, les N.U. adoptent de plus en plus frequemment des mesures de types divers visant a ce que les parties aux conflits respectent le d.i.h . , allant meme jusqu'a prendre en charge le dossier de la repression des violations y relatives; d'autre part, des forces de l 'O.N.U., ou agissant sous son egide et suite a son autorisation, sont presentes ou carrement engagees dans des situations de con fl its armes, regi es par le d. i . h. L '0. N. U. est de venue, en somme, l 'un des protagon i stes pri nc i paux sur la scene du d.i.h. : un droit qui avait ete pourtant con~u et qui etait longtemps reste pour l 'essentiel en dehors de la sphere onusienne; un droit dont la "gestion" avait traditionnellement ete confiee jusqu'ici a d'autres institutions, et au C. I .C.R . prioritairement.

Cette situation nouvelle comporte bon nombre de problemes inedits, impose un effort considerable de coo rd i nation de l 'action i nternat i ona le, requiert toute une serie d'adaptations et impose une reflexion d'ensemble qui n'a pas encore ete faite jusqu'a present. Le colloque programme permettra un echange de points de vues et un large debat entre le monde academique et celui des acteurs du d. i .h. Des rapports introduiront la discussion (sous forme de tables rondes suivies par des debats) sur trois apects du theme : celui de la participation de l 'O.N.U. al 'elaboration du d.i.h . , celui de l ' action de l'O .N.U . pour assurer le respect du d.i.h. et celui de l 'O.N.U. en tant qu'acteur du d.i.h., du fait de son engagement -sous des formes diverses - dans des conflits armes.

Le co 11 oque comportera une seance d' ouverture et troi s seances de travail . Les langues de travail seront le fran~ais et l 'anglais, sans traduction simultanee .

I know you will be disappointed, but Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali will not be able to be with you September 28 for your conference on refugees and the media.

This of course is a subject very close to his heart. But unfortunately he will be totally involved in the General Assembly at that time, with special responsibilities this 50th anniversary year.

On his behalf I send you his regrets and his good wishes for a successful conference.

Dear Secretary General

COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK

The Pulitzer Prizes OFFICE OF THE ADMINISTRATOR

March 23, 1995

I am writing to enlist your help and participation in a significant effort to focus greater media and world attention on the problems of forced migration and refugee resettlement.

We are organizing an open conference on the campus of Columbia University dedicated to: Reporting on the forced refugee migrations of the Post-Cold War World. The impact of ethnic and regional conflict. The role of the media in focusing world attention on crisis areas and refugee resettlement. The day-long forum is being sponsored and funded by the Graduate School of Journalism and the Italian Academy for Advanced Studies in America at Columbia. Gillian Sorenson may have already informed you that it will be an official United Nations event in the celebration of the Fiftieth Anniversary. Sadako Ogata has given the conference her blessing. She is unable to attend because of an executive conference in Geneva, but her New York office is cooperating fully. The forum is also being undertaken in cooperation with the United Nations Association and will be a major Columbia University undertaking with many facets. You may recall that I mentioned the conference to you when you spoke recently at the Council on Foreign Relations.

The forum is designed to heighten public and media awareness of the nature of the swelling tide of forced migration and its implications for global stability. We look to media leaders with responsibility for news coverage together with journalists with on-scene experience, specialists of government, the United Nations, and refugee organizations, to document and discuss the dimensions of the migrations, the adequacy of the relief and resettlement programs, and examine means of deterring the forced migrations. Participants will be invited from abroad. Panel discussions will be devoted not only to the

highly publicized problems of stemming from Former Yugoslavia, Rwanda, Somalia, Hait~ Cuba and the republics of the former Soviet Union, but also to the refugee streams originating in such countries as Afghanistan, Mozambique, Cambodia, and other areas which have been given little attention recently. The availability of public information from the media and official agencies will be reviewed.

The conference will take place on Sept. 28 in the Rotunda of Low H.all. We expect an audience of some hundreds of official representatives, media, students, faculty and interested members of the public. There will be associated exhibitions. A luncheon for some 200 invited guests at Faculty House is planned. Relief organizations will put up booths on the campus before Low Hall to publicize their work and needs. President Rupp has been asked to declare the day as a special one for Columbia on behalf of refugees.

We invite your participation and specifically request that you deliver the keynote opening address at the conference. It is our earnest hope that you will be able to join us. Your presence will be an assurance of success.

EOSG/CENTRAL It gives me great pleasure to send greetings to the opening

of this joint exhibit which brings together young people from

both sides of the Pacific.

Out of the shared experience of national disaster comes

human emotion, expressed in the images of art. These, in turn,

speak to peoples from different places and different cultures.

That linkage of humanity's most fundamental experiences and

expressions provides the basis for international cooperation.

And it is through such cooperation that the afflictions of all

humanity -- war , poverty, oppression and natural calamity -- can

be alleviated or eliminated.

I congratulate the students of the San Francisco Unified

School District and their friends from Japan for initiating this

endeavour. Best wishes for a successful exhibition.

EXEMPLAB

As we approach the end of the 20th century, the world is faced with grea t challenges such as environmental degradation, i sease and crime. At the same time, tremendous changes in technology and culture threaten world peace and 8tability. The United Nations is committed to resolving these problems by promoting international cooperation for peace, development and democracy.

I commend the efforts of all those who took part in the "Towards Global Tolerance: the United Natione reated by Youth" exhibit. It is precisely this kind of friendship and cultural exchange which will make the public think about the intentions of the United Nations General Assembly when it declared 199~ as the United N~tiona "YeAr for Tolex·ance".

r would also like to send a special message to the student artists: Please continue to study and support the United Nations, not only now, but into the future as you go on to college and then to greater society. This year we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the United Nations -- your successive actions will ensure the celebration of many more anniversaries.

AS AN HONORARY ACADEMICIAN OF THE INTERNATIONAL

ACADEMY OF THE AUTHORIZED EDUCATION

Egyptian diplomat and scholar Dr. Boutros Boutros-Ghali assumed leadership of the United Nations in 1992. At the official ceremony inaugurating the new Secretary-General, it was noted that he undertook the position at a demanding time in contemporary international relations. No one could have more successfully risen to these demands than Dr. Boutros Boutros-Ghali.

Dr. Boutros Boutros-Ghali's unanimous election as a "Distinguished Son of Africa" testifies to his enormous prestige and the respect accorded him not only by his neighbors in Africa, the Arab states and the "third world", but also by the whole world. Especially noteworthy are his tireless endeavors to reduce tensions, conflicts and confrontations in areas where blood flows and where aspirations of cooperation, integration, and cordial neighborly relations crash into formidable obstacles. Dr. Boutros Boutros-Ghali charges the search for peace and security with new energy and clear vision, striving to widen the spheres of economic and social collaboration.

Dr. Boutros Boutros-Ghali is internationally renowned for his diverse activities as lawyer, scholar, educator and widely published author.

Dr. Boutros Boutros-Ghali earnestly aspires to realize the United Nations goal of "Education for All".

The entire membership of the International Academy of the Authorized Education consider the many faceted person of Dr. Boutros Boutros-Ghali as statement, public servant, scholar and educator to be the embodiment of the attributes represented in the Charter of the Academy, and nominates him as Honorary Academician.

Dear Mr. Secretary General:

I am pleased to invite you to be honored and to deliver a Keynote address at the Harvard Business School Dinner, to be held at the Waldorf-Astoria on June 12. This is the premier business dinner of the year and should draw an audience of 800 to 1000. Lou Gerstner, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of IBM will be presented with the Business Statesman Award that evening; your presence along with his will ensure that the audience includes the major New York corporate executives.

The Harvard Business School dinner is truly an important New York event. Previous Keynote Speakers have included George Bush, Henry Kissinger, Helmut Schmidt and Jacques Chirac. Since the 50th Anniversary of the United Nations will be celebrated this year it seems particularly appropriate that we honor the UN and yourself. The opportunity to make corporate leaders more aware of the United Nations role - in the world and in the city - in this anniversary year seems most timely. Mayor Giuliani has appointed me Chairman of the New York City Host Committee for the United Nations 50th Anniversary Celebration, so I would be especially pleased to host you at the Business School dinner.

Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette

I have discussed this matter with Under-Secretary General, Gillian Sorensen. I have known Mrs. Sorensen for many years and we are of course, working together on UN 50.

Mr. Secretary General, we would be deeply honored if you would accept our invitation to be Keynote Speaker at the Harvard Business School dinner on June 12. I believe this event is quite timely and will allow the business community in New York City to recognize the United Nation on the occasion of its 50th Anniversary.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Dear Chancellor Reynolds,

The Secretary-General, who is presently on an official trip abroad, has asked me to write to you regarding his participation in the seminar with an international student audience at Lehmann College in September.

Unfortunately, the Secretary-General's participation in the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing in September, and subsequent official visits to two countries in the region, mean that he will now not be back in New York until after 13 September, the date which you had originally suggested. The Secretary-General wonders whether there is any possibility that the seminar could be delayed until the following week. Our preference would be for Wednesday 20 September. This would avoid any scheduling conflict with activities surrounding the opening of the fiftieth session of the General Assembly the previous day. However, depending on the length of time for which you would like the Secretary-General to be present, we could, if necessary, arrange his participation on another day that week. In this connection, it would be most helpful to receive an indication of the timing and format of the occasion.

I hope that this request will not cause too much inconvenience.

Dear Chancellor Reynolds,

Thank you for your letter of 21 July, which I have brought to my husband's attention. It would be a pleasure for him to visit the campus of Lehmann College, which has such historical significance for the United Nationsi to conduct a seminar with an international student audience.

The date of 13 September 1995 has been included in the Secretary-General's calendar. I would li~e to suggest that you be in touch with his Chief of Staff, Mr. Jean-Claude Aime, when details of this event become clearer.

Wi th my best wishes.

Dear Mrs. Boutros-Ghali:

As I indicated when I visited with you last month, we are working hard to arrange plans for next year's celebration of the 50th anniversary of the United Nations. We are all so very proud of the fact that Lehman College (then the Bronx campus of Hunter Colle e was u ing pace o Nat·ons Secur 1946 well of the Economic and Rights.

I am particularly excited by the possibility, which I discussed with you, that the Secretary General might visit the Lehman campus to conduct a seminar with an international student audience cpnnected by interactive video. We would seek o~t a prominent T~ newscaster to moderate the ~vent~which might also include members 6! the curi"ertt Security Council. Certainly, the studio audience for such an event would be filled with CUNY students from around the world. We have tentatively set a date of September 13, 1995, for such an appearance; I hope that will prove .satisfactory .

Associated with the Secretary General's te·lecast would be an academic fcrum on the history and future of the United Nations, and an exhibit of materials from the early days of the UN at Lehman College. We have begun to make contact with potential partners in this program, including the Academic council on the Un ited Nations System, the United Nations Association/USA, and the Association of Former International Civil Servants. Ms. Sorenson is aware of these plans and has been given a concept paper describi ng some of our ideas.

. . .

We are also organizing the luncheon with Ambassador Snoussi, and I will write to you with more details about that a little later in the summer.

It was, as always, an enormous pleasure to spend time with you. I do hope that your travels have been enlivening (and also restful) and that you are enjoying the· summer break.

Sincerely,

MESSAGE TO ROUND TABLE ON "BENIGN INTERVENTION"

Kuwait University, 19-23 April 1995

EOSGICENTRAL It is a great pleasure for me to greet those attending this

seminar on "Benign Intervention", held under the auspices of

H.E. Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber AI-Sabah, Deputy Prime

Minister and the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the State of Kuwait.

As the United Nations celebrates its 50th Anniversary Year,

the challenges of peace and development that lie ahead require

careful thought and study by individuals as well as the active

involvement and participation of States. That is why this Round­

table is both welcome and important.

The work of the United Nations in peace-making, peace­

building and peace-keeping is passing through a process of deep

change. In the past, peace-keeping was carefully structured and

readily unders_tood. Member States provided troops to serve under

United Nations command. The troops were deployed to keep an

• I - 2 -

agreed cease-fire. All parties welcomed them. They were

collectively financed and lightly armed. Confrontation was not

expected.

Today, new demands have challenged these traditional terms

of reference. In response, a new dimension to international efforts

has emerged. In recent years, peace-keepers have been sent to

areas where they cannot rely upon the consent and cooperation of

parties. They have gone where governments do not exist, or have

limited effective authority.

Now, peace-keeping may entail the restoration of democracy.

It may be aimed at preventing the collapse of a State; at protecting

vulnerable populations; at delivering aid or providing humanitarian

relief; or at building a foundation for national recovery.

All too often United Nations peace-keepers have found their

work obstructed. Well-armed groups have challenged national

authorities, and defied the international community. In some cases,

peace-keepers have been made deliberate targets of attack -- a

violation of international law which must be condemned in the

strongest possible terms.

" - 3 -

The changing nature of peace-keeping reflects, in part, the

changing nature of the threat to international peace. It also reflects

a new and broader appreciation of the link between international

peace and global development.

Traditional approaches to development have often assumed

that development takes place under conditions of peace. Yet most

peoples must pursue development against a background of past,

present, or threatened strife.

The end of the cold war has compelled us to re-think

development -- its purpose, its structures, its supports. Old

constraints have gone, but so too have old assurances.

A commitment to development is inseparable from security. A

determination to achieve development is inseparable from peace.

The consequences of neglect will be felt beyond the borders of the

poorest countries.

1 l a l

'

' I I J I I

' . - 4 -

As the international community struggles with the challenges

of global peace and development, the experiences of the State of

Kuwait will continue to provide ideas, examples, and lessons.

/ I wish you well in your deliberations.

Dear Mr. Secretay General

It gives me great pleasure to bring to the attention of Your Excellency that under the auspices ofH.E. Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs we will be holding at Kuwait University from April 19-23, 1995 , an International Round Table under the title:

Benign Inteivention

This is a concept that we believe will complement other great efforts mankind has put foiward to provide peace and security in our world. The Charter of the United Nations, the Geneva Convention and many other endeavors that we have achieved would need a concrete and realistic definition of when inteivention is benign and imperative for the sake of peace and security.

In Kuwait, we seek to bring together a round table of scholars, diplomats, and media specialists to think about these terms and suggest future steps towards the realization of this dream. At this stage, this effort is an individual and personal academic endeavor.

We expect that the United Nations, under your leadership will lend moral support and guidance to this effort. Accordingly, we would appreciate that Your Excellency would deputize a representative from the UN to read a letter of support to this effort. Similarly, we expect the support of their Excellencies, the Secretary General of the Arab League and the Secretary General of the GCC.

We would appreciate hearing from your Excellency deputizing a UN representative to read a letter on your behalf to this effect which would be of moral and intellectual support to the eminent participants from many countries of the world including the permanent members of the Security Council . Your representative is equally welcomed to attend this round table and provide valuable guidance when necessary , at any capacity he deems fit.

The Australian Faculty of Community Child Health, a national faculty of the Australian College of Paediatrics, wishes to support the nomination of Dr. Judith Palfrey, Chief of General Pediatrics at Boston Children's Hospital, as a suitable Head of UNICEF.

Dr. Palfrey's excellent work at the hospital-community interface in Boston with children of all ages is well known to the Australian paediatric community, particularly those involved in community child health. She has always been very generous in giving of her time and resources and many of our young paediatricians have studied at her unit in Boston. After spending 1 to 3 years in her department they return speaking highly of her and this testifies to her genuine and untiring interest in the principles and practice of community child health. Many of her past trainees are now leaders in their field in Australia.

I was able to visit her briefly a few years ago and accumulated a lot of relevant knowledge which continues to be useful.

Dr. Palfrey was also the guest of the College and Faculty at the 1994 Annual Scientific meeting in Hobart. She was an untiring and inspiring speaker and won the respect and hearts of all who came in contact with her. Her contribution to the knowledge and practice of community child health in Australia at this meeting was very valuable.

The Faculty feels sure that she would make an excellent Head of UNICEF and fully support her nomination to this position.

Yours faithfully

Dear Dean Wood,

Thank you for your letter dated 11 April, requesting approval to have Mr. Stanlake Samkange take part in your International Game, to be held in Newport from 25-30 June.

In view of the format, and the diversity of the participants, your International Game will undoubtedly be a success. However, I regret to inform you that Mr. Samkange will not be available between 25-30 June, as he is scheduled to participate in a Conference to be held in Austria at that time.

Dear Mr. Aine,

Since 1978 the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island, has sponsored a political-military simulation known as the Global Game. It brings together officials from the military services, Joint Staff, Cabinet departments and the White House to examine a broad spectrum of national security issues. Last year's game i nvolved more than 900 participants over a two week period. However, due to security considerations, the game has always been restricted to United States citizens, with only limited exceptions. While this restriction has encouraged free and open discussions on a number of sensitive subjects, it ha.s also i njected a degree of artificiality in that us nationals represented the rest of the world.

Last year the Naval War College sought to gain a broader perspective by holding an International Game in conjunction with Global. Using a UN Security Council format, it brought together a distinguished group of international representatives to examine many of the same issues being considered by the US players in their game. The international reactions and responses were passed to the US players for extended assessment as they conducted their own deliberations. The International Game proved to be such a success that the decision was made then to continue i t on a yearly basis. (A copy of last year's game report is enclosed. You will see that two Secretariat officials participated in that event.)

I am writing to request your approval to have Mr. Stanlake Samkange join us as a participant in this year's International Game to represent the UN Secretariat. The game is scheduled to be held 25-30 June. I am convinced that he would find the experience both rewarding and enjoyable. Our intent is to pay transportation, lodging and meal per diem as well as a modest honorarium. For planning purposes, I would greatly appreciate a response by 28 April. Please feel free to call Professor Don Daniel (401-841-4444) or one of his assistants in this matter, Captain Bill Piersig (401-841-6566) and Commander Dave Burnette ( 401-841-6567). Our fax number: 401-841-3579.

I look forward to hearing from you and hopefully having Mr. Samkange join us.

.THE INTERNATIONAL GLOBAL GAME '94

27 July 1994

The first International Global Game took place at the ~aval War College from July 11 to 15, 1994. It featured participants from sixteen foreign countries simulating U.N. Security Council sessions on six international crises. The exercise proved to be very productive and generated valuable ins!ghts.

While it is difficult to accurately depict the variety and range of perspectives from such a meeting in a relatively short report, we off er the following pages as a brief rundown of the proceedings and an overall summary of recurring or novel themes.

.:)

For those unable to read the full report, we suggest reading the section entitled, "GENERAL THEMES." Those wishing more detailed information on each crisis can find it in the "DISCUSSION/SIMULATION" section.

It was generally agreed the first International Global Game was very successful and plans are already underway to conduct another game next year.

~- EOSG/CENTRAL Dear Mr. Snyder,

I am writing on behalf of the Secretary-General to thank you for your recent letter, proposing the establishment of an "Earth Day of God", which has been read with interest in this office.

I have to point out that the designation of special days and years is a matter for the General Assembly of the United Nations rather than for the Secretary-General. Indeed, it would require a General Assembly resolution for an "Earth Day of God" to be declared officially.

If you wish to take this matter further, therefore, you are advised to seek the support of a Member State prepared to bring the matter to the attention of the General Assembly.

I extend my best wishes to the participants in the

seventh annual interfaith bus tour, "Prayer Pilgrimage for Peace

and Justice."

At this Fiftieth Anniversary year of the United Nations,

we see vast new opportunities for international cooperation for

peace and development. But we also see great obstacles,

including a tragic rise in inter-ethnic rivalry which in recent years

has led to terrible suffering in countries around the world.

In this context, I welcome your decision to undertake this

symbolic pilgrimage. I hope that your example may help to inspire

greater justice and better understanding within a world where

tolerance is essential for human welfare.

A Proposal to the United Nations On Moral Development Approach

Modern c ivilisation is beset with multifarious social prob­lems. Human immorality is really one of these most severe and crucial problems. Immorality gives birth to many problems seriously affecting the peaceful and meaning ful living of human beings in the society. In fact, so­cial crimes of all kinds occur mainly due to human activities devoid of moral senses. To pre­vent and curb crimes at all lev­els, moral development from in­dividual to universal level has become quite essential at this stage. In this regard, the follow­ing proposal is being put forward before the United Nations to consider and implement in the greater interest and welfare of mankind:-

& Title of the proposal: Moral Development Approach (MDA) .

~ Objective of the program: To upgrade an d maintain the moral conscience a nd awareness of the world population which will ultimately accelerate the process of achieving world-wide peace, order and justice at indi­vidual, social and global level. ·

g, Introduction: Moral c risis at crossroads is a widely talked about issue every­where in the world today. Moral­ity is one of the best factors in human civi li sation in the real sense . It is the moral values and institutions which ensure estab­lishment of social peace and or­der. There is no denying the fact that morality is the best virtue of mankind at any individual, social and universal level. Nothing of human being is valuable without morality which is fundamental to develop humanity in mankind

for differentiating a man from an animal. Morality is the only source through which a man can devel­op in himself the heavenly quali­ties like love, affection, feelings , respect and appreciation for oth­ers in the society. It is the only sacred morality which helps in­dividuals or groups of individuals to make all sorts of social justice. Without morality no democratic , judiciary and administrative val­ues and institutions in any indi­viduals, societies and nations can be developed and nurtured. Immorality is more dangerous than any infeclious disease in hu­man society. The virus of immo­ral qualities and activities of a person has serious effect and in­fluence on others in the society. The immoral disease , like cor­ruption and dishonesty, spread consciously and/or unconscious­ly, from individuals to society, from societies to nations , and ul­timately from nations to the world level. Immorality destroys the human conscience at individual and so­cial level. Any immoral person cannot differentiate a right from a wrong, a just from an unjust, good from bad, etc., because his conscience is derailed and killed by bad qualities he possesses and evil activities he is involved in. Immoral attitudes make a person dishonest, corrupt and unjust; immorality and dishonesty move together.

m,_ Needs for the program: Lacking in the abovementioned moral aspects our different soci­eties, nations and the world as a whole have been immensely suf­fering from disorders, dishones- ,,

"

ty, injustice and corruption of all possible sorts. History reveals that immorality in societies was prevelent in the early days of human civilisation , and it pre­vails today also , but the question is about its degree and intensity. Very unfortunately, the level of immorality and its consequenc­es are alarmingly high in many of the societies and nations in the world at present. Everybody and every society is very much worried, disgusted and frustrat­ed in this regard . Today moral degradation is a se­rious threat to our individual , so c ial, and universal life and peace . Individualised immorali­ties constitute social immorali­ties which ultimately lead to na­tional and global immoralities. Moral pollution is more harmful than environmenta l pollution. Environmental pollution mainly presents unhealthy living to mankind whereas the moral pollution kills them mentally with the development of very low level awareness about all types of crimes they do. In fact , the world environment pollu­tion is being caused by many im­proper activities done by many people in several ways without having any human feelings of others' healthy living in general. Anyway, throughout the world all the countries are thinking and are trying to take various steps to tackle the environmen­tal pollution problem; but prac­tically nothing is being planned and done to tackle the moral pollution problem. AIDS is a calamity for mankind

~

today . The whole world popula­tion is very much afraid of this disastrous enemy. According to the opinion of experts and so­cial scientists, AIDS spreads, in most cases , through immoral activities. Thus there is no denying the fact that the morality is the root key to c urb the widely talked about problems of Environment Pollution, Human Rights , Op­pression on Women, AIDS spreading, Terrorism, Drug Abuses, Smoking, etc. Under these circumstances, the United Nations sho uld come forward to take-up this program to prevent wides pread moral degradation all over the world .

ID:. Process of implementation of the Program: To Implement the program un­der question the following steps can be taken by the United Na­tions:-

l) . The United Nations (UN) can adopt some positive steps in establishing some ce ll/ agency / association, like many other programs of its own , for introducing and promoting the activities for moral development throughout the world. This cell/ agency / association under the UN can organise and propagate this movement throughout the yea r by publishing Bulletins , Newsletters, etc., and by organ­ising symposium, seminars , etc., in different countries.

2) . Like many occasions, the United Nations may observe a particular d ay a nd/ or a year as

"MORAL DAY /MORAL YEAR" throughout the world to develop awareness and conscience among the world population about moral development and its maintenance.

3). Through Formal Education: Moral development should be one of the aspects of education everywhere in the world. In ed­ucational curicula , particularly at lower level , some courses on moral teaching should be intro­duced and properly taught. The United Nations can encour­age the Ministries of Education of different countries to follow this strategy while developing and implementing their educa­tional curricula and syllabi.

4). Mass -media like T.V. , Ra­dio, Newspapers, Magazine s, etc . can play a vital role in the matter of developin g moral awareness among the people. In every nation there should be some special programs on mo­ral development approach in T .V. , Radio , Newspapers, etc . In this regard , the United Nations can encourage the governments

of different countries to follow this strategy. 5). The United Nations can in­troduce some provision for an­nual "AWARDS" for recognised persons/ societies/ na lions with very high moralities. It may work as an incentive in this re­gard.

fil:.._ Conclusion: In fine , for peace and justice moral development and its maintenance is a must at indi­vidual, social and global level. Without this moral development we can never expect and estab­lish world-peace. And through­out the world there should be an effective movement, as a Mo­ral Development Approach (MDA), to c ure and eliminate this devastating immoral disease from our societies in different geographical regions of the world to establish peace and justice from individual to uni­versal level. It will certainly re­flect upon improving the values of human resources in proper perspectives through the im- . provemnt of behavioral norms of the people.

Dear Professor Cullen,

On the Secretary-General's behalf, I am replying to your recent letter, received here on 4 April, in which you invited him to take part in a lecture series in celebration of the 150th anniversary of The Queen's University of Belfast.

The Secretary-General regrets tha t, b e cause of a very heavy programme o f commitments connected with the 50th anniversary of the United Nations, he cannot see his way to accepting your invitation this year. It will, however, be held on file and will be borne in mind when the Secretary-General's schedule for 1996 is being planned.

Dear Dr Boutros-Ghali,

The Irish Association/Queen's 150/Maynooth 200 Lectures on the Resolution of Conflict

The Queen's Uniyersi!}' of Belfast, in which I am Professor of Philosophy and the current Dean of the Faculty of Theology, is celebrating its one hundred and fiftieth annivers in 1995. As part of the University's celebrations, we are organizing (at regrettably short notice) a short series of lectures by distinguished speakers fromabroad. The lecture series will be in association with St Patrick's Colle e

aynooth, Ireland's national Roman Catholic semin and today both a pontifical university and a secular universitycollege, which is celebrating its bicentenary. The Irish Association for Cultural, Economic, and Social Relations (founded 1938 , of which I am honoured to be the incoming president, is assisting with the organization of the lectures. Among our many members -in both parts of Ireland -is Dr Garrett Fitzgerald, former Minister for Foreign Affairs and Prime Minister of the Irish Republic.

The theme of the lectures will be the resolution of conflict. Our intention is to explore how it has been attempted, .. and sometimes achieved, in different parts of the world.

I have been authorized by the Vice-Chancellor of Queen's University, Sir Gordon Beveridge, by the President of Maynooth College, Reverend Dr Matthew O'Donnell, and by the Council of the Irish Association, to invite you to be one of our distinguished lecturers. As you know, Northern Ireland is at a particularly interesting and important stage in its political development. We would not expect you to address the particular problems of Northern Ireland, but rather to reflect on your own experiences at the United Nations. I have no doubt, however, that your reflections would be listened to intently by the leading participants in the current search for political accommodation in Ireland and would have a lasting influence. It is envisaged that your lecture would be delivered first in Belfast and then again in Maynooth (on the outskirts of Dublin). The two lectures would have two quite different, and complementary, audiences. It is hoped that the Belfast lecture might be broadcast. Finally, the intention is to publish a collection of the lectures.

We would be deeply honoured if you were able to accept our invitation. Queen's University would be pleased to honour your visit and lecture in a suitable way. If ou were to indicate acce tance in rincipl~.

_we could then roceed to identi a mutual! suitable date rol?ably between SeP.tember and December but May or June mi ht still be ossible.

Please contact me if you have any queries about this invitation. I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

ifd?J~-~

,, . I • '

Re the invitation from the Faculty of Theology at The Queen's University of Belfast, to speak on the Resolution of Conflict :

I think this invitation should be accepted, although any decision should be preceded by consultations with the Governments of the United Kingdom and of the Republic of Ireland. Reasons for and against are as follows:

Aoainst: The United Kingdom is likely to disapprove of such a visit. Particularly after President Clinton's reception of Sinn Fe i n President Gerry Adams, the United Kingdom probably will not be enthusiastic about further foreign input on Northern Ireland. An appearance by the Secretary-General would likely spur interest in a UN role in monitoring disarmament, which I believe the United Kingdom would not welcome. And the Unionists could see such a visit as applying undue pressure on them.

For: None the less, I think it is most desirable that the Secretary-General should accept this invitation. I believe the biggest threat to the peace process comes from the tendency of some factions of the IRA to exploit a perception that the process is not moving along as quickly as it should. The IRA still has not begun to disarm .

In the context of Ulster, I believe that a visit by the Secretary-General could inject new momentum into the peace process; at the same time, the occasion is general enough so that it should not appear intolerable to the Unionist side. I do not think a visit by a lower-level official or a message would have the same benefits, and I think it would continue to present most of the same disadvantages.

The reservations of the United Kingdom could perhaps be overcome if the Secretary-General's visit were to take place as part of a more general visit to Europe, and were bracketed by visits to London and Dublin. It would be inappropriate to appear only in Dublin and Belfast, as suggested in the letter.

"A Grotian Moment"

contribution to the Fordham International Law Journal

May 1995

The community of nations has entered a new era. The

international system that sustained us in the past has yet to be

replaced. We are in the process of building a new international

system, and we are doing so under unprecedented conditions.

The outset of the modern age, some three and a half

centuries ago, was an uncertain time, filled with both promise

and peril. The foundations for a stable and progressive system

of relations among States were laid, at that time, by Hugo de

Groot (1583-1645), known as Grotius, the father of international

law. Perhaps today we have come to another such "Grotian Moment"

in history, one in which a renaissance of international law is

needed to help transform the world scene in this new era which

all States have entered.

The United Nations was established fifty years ago to

further peaceful and cooperative relations among States. Its

creation was based upon the recognition that collective security,

shared values and cooperative problem-solving could be in each

State's own interest. Today, these matters remain of fundamental

importance. However, the United Nations now operates in a world

where the major forces are global and internal. The result is a

paradox: the institutions created for peaceful and cooperative

relations among states are now needed to sustain the States

themselves from new global and internal pressures.

- 2 -

The Organization confronts this paradox in its daily

efforts. So it has been forced to find new approaches to

fulfilling its objectives within the original framework of the

Charter. In the process, the United Nations is helping to put

forth new rules of international law. It is helping to shape a

new international system. This is particularly evident in the

effort undertaken by the United Nations at the jurisdictional

level in the field of international peace and security.

Throughout most of the United Nation's history, the primary

threat to international peace and security has been aggression by

one State against another, but the bipolar system fashioned by

the cold war helped to maintain an overall international peace.

With the collapse of that order, long suppressed political

and ethnic rivalries have burst forth. They have erupted into

violent conflict in many newly independent States, as well as in

many parts of Africa. Appalling cruelty, human rights violations

and crimes of war have taken place.

At the same time, therefore, that global pressures are

challenging all States from above, many States are being torn

apart from within. In some cases State institutions have

collapsed. Such conflicts and confrontations within States are

now more prevalent than wars between them.

Yet, it would be dangerous to assume that international

conflict has been forever relegated to the past. The traditional

problems of international peace and security, originally

contemplated by the founders, still exist. And so the principles

of the United Nations laid out in Article 2 of the Charter

respect for the territorial integrity of Member States,

preservation of the political independence and sovereignty of

Member States and the inadmissibility of the acquisition of

territory by force -- remain valid and must be upheld. The same

- 3 -

is true for the. mechanisms established to further positive

relations among the nations of the world. Both the principles

and mechanisms are fundamental to addressing the new problems.

It is for this reason that on the jurisdictional level, a

primary objective of the United Nations has been to encourage and

facilitate the use of the International Court of Justice by its

Member states. The Court, established under Article 7 of the

Charter and serving in accordance with Article 92 as the

principal judiciary organ of the United Nations, had a record

·number of fourteen cases before it from 1993 to 1994. Twelve of

these were contentious cases as opposed to advisory opinions. Of

considerable political as well as legal importance, these cases

underscored the potential of the Court not only to settle

questions of law, but also to serve as an integral part of United

Nations peace efforts.

An example is the case concerning the Territorial Dispute

(Libyan Arab Jamahiriya/Chad). On 3 February 1994 the Court

delivered its Judgement in this case, finding that the boundary

between the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya and the Republic of Chad was

defined and determined by the Treaty of Friendship and Good

Neighbourliness concluded on 10 August 1955 by France and the

Libyan Arab Jamahiriya. On 4 April 1994, in the Agreement signed

at Surt, the parties pledged themselves to abide by the Judgement

of the Court. Upon the request of the parties, the Security

Council, by resolution 915 of 4 May 1994, established the United

Nations Aouzou Strip Observer Group (UNASOG) to observe the

implementation of the Agreement. This case shows how the United

Nations can help parties to implement a Judgement of the Court.

It also highlights the role of the Court, in cooperation with the

Security Council, as an important component of the peacemaking

apparatus of the United Nations as a whole.

- 4 -

It is this role that moved me to recommend in "An Agenda for

Peace" that the Secretary-General might be authorized to take

advantage of the advisory competence of the Court. In the same

report I called for increased support for the Trust Fund

established to assist countries unable to afford the cost

involved in bringing a dispute to the Court. Since then, the

Trust Fund has received broad support from all regions of the

world; it has been utilized in two cases thus far, and others are

pending.

A new type of situation, found in today's conflicts, has

spurred the innovative development of jurisdictional measures

beyond those envisioned for the International Court of Justice.

This arises when serious violations of international humanitarian

law, accompanying an internal conflict, create a situation which

threatens international p·eace and security.

This was the situation faced by the Security Council in

Bosnia and Herzegovina in early 1993. At this time the war in

the former Yugoslavia had been under way for more than a year and

a half, the center shifting from Slovenia to Croatia then to

Bosnia. From the beginning, appalling brutality had marked the

conduct of the parties. It was in Bosnia, however, that evidence

of international crimes first surfaced, including mass

executions, mass rapes, concentration camps and "ethnic

cleansing". Despite the Security Council's repeated calls for

the parties to comply with their obligations under international

humanitarian law, and despite my establishment, upon the request

of the Council, of a Commission of Experts to report on evidence

of grave breaches of this law in the former Yugoslavia, the

breaches continued.

By February 1993 the Security Council had determined that

the situation posed by continuing reports of widespread

violations of international humanitarian law in the former

- 5 -

Yugoslavia cons~ituted a threat to international peace and

security. Immediate action was required. The Security Council

in its resolution 808 of 22 February 1993 decided in principle to

establish an international tribunal in the former Yugoslavia to

put an end to such crimes and to bring the perpetrators to

justice, thereby contributing to the restoration of peace.

Less than 100 days later, by resolution 827 of 25 May 1993

and acting under Chapter VII of the Charter, the Security Council

created The International Tribunal for the Prosecution of Persons

Responsible for Serious Violations of International Humanitarian

Law Committed in the Territory of the Former Yugoslavia since

1991. The use of Chapter VII placed all States under a binding

obligation to carry out this decision, including the State

parties to the conflict. In essence, the Council has created as

an enforcement measure a subsidiary organ, but one of a judicial

nature, to apply existing humanitarian law in the former

Yugoslavia.

This is the first such tribunal to be established not by the

victors in war, but by the entire international community, acting

through the United Nations. In the absence of a permanent

international criminal tribunal, or even an international

criminal code, the international community sought a way to deal

with serious violations of international humanitarian law,

occurring within the context of an increasingly brutal internal

conflict, albeit with inter-State dimensions. The international

community summoned the will to apply its traditional United

Nations instruments to a new kind of threat, involving matters of

substance that have heretofore been avoided.

Thus, the establishment of the Tribunal under Chapter VII of

the Charter was a bold and inventive act. And while the legal

basis for its establishment is its most strikingly innovative

aspect, the Statute of the Tribunal also broke new ground in

- 6 -

dealing with the highly complex substantive legal issues

regarding the Tribunal's competence, as well as with the detailed

procedural and organizational aspects of its work.

Of critical importance in this effort was the widespread

involvement of both State and non-State actors. When the

Security Council took its decision in principle to establish the

Tribunal on 22 February 1993, it was silent on the

constitutionally controversial question of the legal bas i s for

its establishment -- the Council requested me to prepare a report

within 60 days on the effective and expeditious implementation of

its decision. I endeavoured to prepare a report, including as

well a draft Statute, that would be responsive not only to the

particular situation in the former Yugoslavia but also to the

wider legal and political concerns of the international

community. My report of ·3 May 1993, which was adopted in its

entirety by the Security Council in its resolution 827 of 25 May

1993, thereby creating the Tribunal, benefitted greatly from the

suggestions and observations put forward by Member States,

regional organizations and arrangements, the Commission of

Experts and the International Committee of the Red Cross, as well

as non-governmental organizations and individual experts.

The establishment of the International Tribunal for the

Former Yugoslavia has thus been a monumental advance: It dealt

with a pressing new problem through the creative application of a

traditional mechanism. It thereby strengthened and advanced that

mechanism. By engaging widespread participation, it contributed

to the democratization of international relations. It broke new

ground in international criminal law. It helped to achieve -- at

least on a temporary basis -- the longstanding goal of the United

Nations to afford jurisdictional protection to international

humanitarian law.

- 7 -

Eleven judges have been elected to the Tribunal by the

General Assembly, and a Prosecutor has been appointed by the

Security Council upon my nomination. To date, three indictments,

including altogether twenty-two accused, have been confirmed.

The existence of this tribunal prompted the Government of

Rwanda to request in August 1994 the creation of a similar

tribunal to prosecute persons alleged to have committed genocide

in Rwanda. By resolution 955 of 8 November 1994, the Security

Council decided to establish an international tribunal to

prosecute persons responsible for genocide and other violations

of international humanitarian law committed in Rwanda between

1 January 1994 and 31 December 1994. While the two tribunals are

separate, independent institutions, they share a common Appeals

Chamber and a common Prosecutor.

The Tribunals do face serious obstacles in areas such as

financing, the collection of evidence and the extradition of the

accused, but the only way to overcome such difficulties is to

press on with the work. The momentum created by the

establishment of the Tribunals must not be lost. The

international community must support the work of the Tribunals in

every way possible. At the same time, we must redouble our

efforts to create a permanent international criminal court.

Last year, the International Law Commission, in which I

worked for many years, adopted a draft statute for an

international criminal court. The Commission referred its

recommendation to the General Assembly that an international

conference of plenipotentiaries be convened to study the draft

statute and to conclude a convention on the establishment of such

a court. The General Assembly decided to establish an ad-hoc

committee to review the major issues arising out of that draft

statute and to consider arrangements for convening such a

conference. The committee met from 3 to 13 April 1995 and will

- 8 -

submit its report to the General Assembly at the beginning of its

fiftieth session.

Through the creative application and innovative development

of jurisdictional measures, the United Nations is working to

bring peace to a world in which conflicts and confrontations

within States are now more prevalent than wars between them.

There are signs that in peace and security, as well as in other

areas of work, we are proving able to preserve achievements as we

transform them to meet new challenges. International law has

been, and will remain, central in this effort.

New situations demand new ideas. Yet, sometimes it may seem

impossible to bring a new idea into being; the obstacles to

securing a vote -- or effecting a Charter amendment -- may be too

great. In the face of new situations, we should not allow

ourselves to be intimidated by such ostensible obstacles. The

Founders of the United Nations deliberately framed the Charter in

a flexible way, which, over the past half-century, has enabled

the Organization to adapt to changing circumstances and to employ

new techniques when the need has emerged. The invention of

United Nations peace-keeping to deal with the Suez crisis of 1956

is a shining example. Not specifically mentioned in the Charter,

peace-keeping was created by the organization as a non-coercive

instrument of conflict control, at a time when cold war

constraints precluded the more forceful steps permitted by the

Charter. In its original sense, peace-keeping involves a lightly

armed force -- welcomed by all parties to a conflict -- whose

task is to monitor an agreed cease-fire, already in place, so

that the parties can pursue a negotiated settlement.

The United Nations is in the process of transforming its

peace-keeping instrument to meet new conditions. It has also

invented a new instrument: preventive deployment. In the former

Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, for the first time ever in United

t - 9 -

Nations history, military units have been deployed as a measure

of preventive diplomacy.

Preventive deployment was not foreseen by the international

community, but it is grounded in international law. It was

devised by the application of elements of the law heretofore not

brought together. The unique circumstances of the case drew

forward this new departure. Preventive deployment in the former

Yugslav Republic of Macedonia was based upon the fundamental

principle of the United Nations -- the sovereign equality and

territorial integrity of its Member States -- and the request of

such a State, newly-admitted to the Organization. It was based

upon the Charter of the United Nations, which is a source of

international law, and on the authority given to the Security

Council by that document. And it was based upon the Charter's

understanding that regionalism and internationalism are not at

odds -- that a regional organization, such as the Conference on

Security and Cooperation in Europe which already had a presence

in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, could cooperate

with the world organization under Chapter VIII.

By its resolution 795 of 11 December 1992, the Security

Council authorized preventive deployment in the former Yugoslav

Republic of Macedonia as part of the United Nations Protection

Force in the former Yugoslavia (UNPROFOR}, and by Security

Council resolution 983 of 31 March 1995, this part of UNPROFOR

became known as the United Nations Preventive Deployment Force.

Through the creative application of laws already at its disposal,

the Counc i l was abl e to respond to an evident need, on behalf and

with the support of the international community, without creating

a new law, or amending the Charter, or in any way going beyond

the principles and mechanisms set out in that document.

In international law we have a rigorous and analytical

framework from which to approach problems of mutual concern. In

- 10 -

international law, we have a powerful base from which to take

multilateral action. In international law, we have a way to

preserve achievements as we transform them to meet new

challenges. And in the United Nations, we have a forum and

mechanism for the development of international law.

We need to use the law. It· is by applying the law to

changing realities on the ground that such important inventions

as the International Tribunals, as well as peace-keeping and

preventive deployment, have come about. And it is clear that in

this new era, more such inventions will be needed as we make our

way toward a new international system. Expanding the law of

nations upon the foundations laid down by Grotius some three and

a half centuries ago, is a central task of our time.

Attn: Chief Spokesperson/Press Secretary

Dear Madam or Sir:

On behalf of the Fordham International Law Journal, I would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to Volume 18. The Journal publishes five books each academic year devoted to questions of international and comparative law. Our books include contributions written by Jacques Delors, Ole Due, Federico Mancini, Rene Joliet, Pierre Pescatore, Carl Otto Lenz, Walter van Gerven, John Hume, Innis Claude, Jr., Arthur Helton, and Dick Spring .

Our fifth book, due to be published in May, will contain a special segment entitled "The Role of International Law in the 21st Century." We hope this project will present a scholarly forum for the differing interpretations of international law as we enter the next century. We plan to dedicate this book to former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, and hope to have an introductory essay by Madeleine Albright, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations.

We are currently soliciting contributions to the special segment from international legal scholars, and we feel that Mr. Boutros-Ghali would be an excellent contributor. His essay should be approximately five pages, with or without footnotes. Due to time constraints of the law school's academic calendar, we will need his contribution by the end of the second week in March.

With this introduction, we hope that Mr. Boutros-Ghali will decide to contribute your ideas to the Journal. By doing so, he will join a traditicn th~t embraces accurate, timely, and insightful articles.

You may reach the Journal office either by phone (212-636-6931) or by fax (212-636-6932). We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

Dear Excellency,

I understand that Dr Judith Palfrey, the Chief of General Pediatrics at Boston Children's Hospital is under consideration fo~ th~ sition of Head of lJNICEF.

On behalf of The Australian Colle e of Paediatrics, I am writing this letter to su J.)2rt Dr Palfrey's appointment.

Dr Palfrey 's work is well known throughout the world, including Australia. Because of this, she was invited as a guest of The Australian College of Paediatrics to be its special guest at the College's Annual Scientific Meeting in 1994. Everything that we had learned about Dr Palfrey was confirmed by her visit to Australia.

Dr Palfrey is a vigorous advocate for children. She has published widely, so that her work is widely quoted throughout the world and there is no doubt that she has had a marked influence on community and child health in her own country and throughout the world. As well as her publications being indicated in this, she has served on numerous important committees that had influence on community and child health and she is now President-Elect of the Ambulatory and Paediatric Association.

The Australian College of Paediatrics would unequivocally support Dr Palfrey for the position as Head of UNICEF.

Mar~o, ~O. 1.995

Distinguido Sr. Presidente de la O.N.U.:

Con motivo de la celebracion del dia internacional de la Paz y No Violencia en el C.P. Fray Albino, de Cordoba, hemos dedi­cado una semana a realizar actividades relacionadas con este tema, y participamos en otras organizadas par distintas asoci­aciones de nuestro barrio.

Pensamos que podiamos dirigirnos a ustedes, coma represen­tantes de la mayoria de las paises del mundo, para que conocie­sen nuestra opinion sabre las conflictos belicos que, desgraci2

damente, siguen activos en distintos puntos del planeta. Consideramos que todas las guerras, sin distincion de ningun

tipo, son horripilantes, inhumanas e innecesarias, porque con­ducen invariablemente a la destruccion del mundo y del ser hu­mano.

Sabemos que hay paises que incumplen reiteradamente sus resoluciones y nos preguntamos si no habra alga masque se pue­da hacer para cambiar a mejores las sentimientos de esas per­sonas que comienzan las guerras, que destrozan familias, pueblos, ciudades, la naturaleza, nuestro mundo, que destrozan la paz y la convivencia entre todos. Hay mucha gente inocente que muere cada dia par la ambicion de unos pocos, par su sed de poder, de riquezas y tierras.

Es muy dificil vivir en un mundo con tanta violencia y tanta discriminacion. Nos resulta muy dificil entender par que las riquezas de nuestro querido planeta estan en manos de unos pocos paises privilegiados, mientras la gran mayoria vive en manos de un tremendo subdesarrollo, en la mas absoluta miseria.

Este planeta nos pertenece a todos las queen el hemos nacido, estaba aqui cuandos llegamos y seguira despues de irnos, si es que entre todos no acabamos de destruirlo totalmente. No entendemos par que han de luchar dos pueblos par un trozo de tierra, cuando la tierra no pertenece a nadie,lno seria mas 16-gico compartirla y convivir todos juntas coma hermanos? No enten­demos par que las gobiernos gastan tantos millones en armas, armas que solo sirven para destruir vidas, lno seria mas logico destinar ese dinero para ayudar a aquellos que pasan hambre, para llevar la tecnologia a las paises mas pobres, para erradicar la miseria de muchos lugares?.

Sr. Presidente, hay un reino que se extiende par el mundo. Ese reino es la muerte. Si hubiera una solo persona que pudiera sacar a la luz la paz que hay en el mundo se iluminaria hasta el ultimo rincon que tiene la inmensa Tierra.

Sabemos que es muy dificil pero esperamos que no sea imposible Queremos que se dirija usted a las representantes de todos las

paises para transmitirles nuestro agredecimiento par toda la ayuda que estan prestando a millones de personas a traves de sus distintos organismos, pero queremos pedirles mas, pese a toda la buena voluntad nos parece poco lo que se hace, par eso pe­dimos mas.

Somos los herederos de este mundo que los adultos estais transformando cada dia, y no queremos un planeta destro­zado, donde la vida se haga imposible, donde reine la muerte; queremos un mundo donde reine la paz y la alegria, donde exista solidaridad entre todos, donde no haya discriminaci6n ni in­justicia, donde no es conozca la palabra "guerra".

Ese es el sueno de nuestro colegio y sabemos que para con­seguirlo se necesita la ayuda y la solidaridad de TODOS.

Nosotros estamos intentando poner nuestro granito de arena ustedes deben seguir aportando el suyo, sin desfallecer, con mas fuerzas dia a dia, sabiendo que nosotros, los j6venes, queremos este mundo en paz y estamos aqui dispuestos a conseguir­lo. iAdelante!
