Extractions: Switzerland, in continuation of her traditional policy of NEUTRALITY and aware of nationalism and imperialism fervent in her neighbouring countries and of the arms race going on, promoted international agreements aiming on the peaceful regulation of international relations, such as the PEACE CONFERENCES in Den Haag ("the Hague") in 1899 and 1907. When, largely due to the effort of French Pacifist PIERRE DE COUBERTIN, the IOC (International Olympic Committee) was founded, it established her headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland. In 1901 the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Swiss JEAN HENRI DUNANT, the founder of the International Red Cross (1863) and organixer of the (first) Geneva Convention (1864); the Nobel Peace Prize for 1902 went to Elie Ducommun and Charles Albert Gobat, both Swiss, honorary secretaries of the INTERNATIONAL PEACE BUREAU, BERNE (est. 1891); in 1908 and 1913, the institute, renamed Permanent International Peace Bureau , was again honoured by the prize being awarded to her presidents, Dane Fredrik Bajer (1908) and Belgian Henri La Fontaine (1913).

This does not mean, however, that Switzerland was previously a stranger to the international club of nations. The credibility created by Switzerlands permanent neutrality made the country an example of humanity to the rest of the world and a valuable arbitrator in the relations between countries. By joining the United Nations in autumn 2002, Switzerland became a member of the core UN group and the General Assembly, where it can actively pursue UN concerns, which are also the concerns of Swiss foreign policy: promotion and preservation of peace and security, the protection of human rights as well as humanitarian aid and dialogue.

Extractions: Dictionaries: General Computing Medical Legal Encyclopedia Word: Word Starts with Ends with Definition The Nobel Peace Prize (pronounced with the stress on the second syllable of Nobel ) is one of five Nobel Prizes The Nobel Prizes (pronounced no-BELL ) are awarded annually to people who have done outstanding research, invented groundbreaking techniques or equipment, or made outstanding contributions to society. It is generally regarded as the supreme commendation in the world today. The prizes were instituted by the final will of Alfred Nobel, a Swedish industrialist, and the inventor of dynamite. He signed his will at the Swedish-Norwegian Club in Paris on November 27, 1895. He was shocked to see how his invention was used for destructive purposes and wanted the prizes to be awarded to those who served mankind well.

It is bordered by Norway on the west, Finland on the northeast, the Skagerrak and the Kattegat on the southwest, and the Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Bothnia on the east. Due to the relatively small number of inhabitants, Sweden's landscape is known for its peace and the large forests and mountainous wilderness.

By Irwin Abrams Published as "Je me souviens..." in United Nations Library at Geneva: Catalogue of the Centenary Exhibition of the International Peace Bureau (Geneva: United Nations Office, 1992): 3-5. Arrival in Geneva My first port of call was Geneva, the site of the League of Nations and headquarters for the internationalists of the day. There I was to meet such leading figures of the pre-war peace movement as Ludwig Quidde, Nobel Peace Prize laureate, a refugee from Hitler Germany; Christian Lange, also a Nobel peace prizewinner and a leading scholar on internationalism, who was a member of the Norwegian delegation to the League Assembly; and Theodore Ruyssen, a veteran of the French peace movement, now secretary-general of the International Union of Associations for the League of Nations. I was also to interview Hans Wehberg, international lawyer and publicist, who had an unrivalled knowledge of the peace movement's history. They were all helpful, and it was a privilege to meet such men, but a historian must have written records, and in Geneva I hoped to see what might be preserved of the archives of the IPB, which could go back to its founding in Berne by action of the World Peace Congress of l89l. I knew that it still occupied the same premises to which it had moved in l924. And I had also learned that the Library of the League had acquired the papers of Fried and Baroness von Suttner, both leaders in the peace movement in the 1890's.

Extractions: Odin Government Ministries Archive ... Norway in facts and figures The Nobel Peace Prize In his will of 1895 Alfred Nobel stipulated that the scientific prizes and the prize for literature should be awarded by Swedish institutions. But the decision regarding the peace prize he left to a committee appointed by the Norwegian parliament, the Storting. The reasons why the Swede Alfred Nobel entrusted this honourable task to the Norwegian national assembly are not quite clear. Norway and Sweden had been united under the same sovereign since 1814, but towards the end of the century Norwegian agitation for the dissolution of that union became increasingly strong. It may well be that this gesture was an attempt to defuse a conflict that threatened to explode. On the other hand there is nothing to indicate that Nobel was particularly involved in this constitutional crisis, living outside Sweden as he did for most of his life. Another explanation might lie in his presumed respect for the work of the Storting in the international field: for instance, its decision of 1880 in favour of international arbitration and its active support of the interparliamentary movement.

About 60 women activists from South Asia and other parts of the world including Kamla Bhasin and Rebecca Vermot, the project's Western Europe coordinator, took part. The project was officially launched during a cultural evening entitled, "Women Artists for Justice, Harmony and Peace" organised by ANHAD, Jagori, SANGAT and VDAY. Several well-known artists and peace activists including Nandita Das and Shubha Mudgal from India; Salima Hashmi and Zehra Nigah from Pakistan; Hangama Anwari from Afganistan; Khushi Kabir and Ayesha Khanam from Bangladesh; Shahana Pradhan from Nepal; Vasuki Jeyasankar from Sri Lanka; Saskia Wieringa from The Netherlands; and Eve Ensler from the U.S. were present.

Extractions: The Basic Documents of the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) are presented here in a single volume: its conventions, procedural rules, model clauses and other important documents. It is hoped that this compilation will be of interest and use to the international community. The 'Decade of International Law,' proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in 1989, has proven to be a decade of intensive revitalization for the PCA, and the fruits of this revitalization constitute the bulk of this volume of basic documents. Now, on the eve of the PCA's centennial, its two constitutive Conventions are accompanied by no fewer than six sets of optional procedural rules for international dispute resolution, all adopted in the period from 1992-1997. Establishment of the Permanent Court of Arbitration The PCA was established by the Convention for the Pacific Settlement of International Disputes, concluded at The Hague in 1899 during the first Hague Peace Conference. The Conference was convened at the initiative of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia 'with the object of seeking the most effective means of ensuring to all peoples the benefits of a real and lasting peace, and above all, of limiting the progressive development of existing armaments.' The most important achievement of this Conference was the establishment of the PCA: the first global mechanism for the settlement of inter-State disputes. The 1899 Convention, which provided the legal basis for the PCA, was revised at the second Hague Peace Conference in 1907.

In 1982, UNCITRAL issued 'Recommendations to Assist Arbitral Institutions and Other Interested Bodies with Regard to Arbitrations under the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules', in order to assist institutions both in adapting the UNCITRAL Rules, and in offering to provide administrative and appointing authority services. The International Bureau will also provide administrative services within The Netherlands to help parties and arbitrators conduct cases under the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules.
