WALL OF PEACE web site: http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/wallofpeace/ This is the story of a group of 12-year-olds who took a classroom exercise and made it the focus of the world. The project began inside the walls of Mount Gilbert Community College in Belfast in 1995 when pupils decided to write to famous people and ask them for a "Poem for Peace" for Northern Ireland. The response was incredible. Letters flooded in from all walks of life and were mounted on a display board so that others could share in what had been written. And so the "Wall of Peace" was born. It began as a school project but it has become much more than that. It has shown what a group of young people in Northern Ireland can achieve when they put their minds to it. And it has given them a voice - a voice which, through this web site, can now be heard all over the world.

Extractions: Mr. President, On behalf of the Philippine Delegation, I would like to extend warmest congratulations to you and the members of the bureau on your election to the leadership of the Fifty-Eighth Session of the United Nations General Assembly. The past twelve months were a most difficult and challenging period for the United Nations since its establishment 58 years ago. A community of cynicism has formed on the ability of the United Nations to rise from the morass of disunity and disruptive competition among major powers to fulfill its catalytic role for international peace and security, and development. But while it is undeniable that the United Nations has struggled over the last twelve months, its predicted decline is greatly exaggerated. Economic linkages among nations have widened and deepened in many sectors. The interconnectedness of the global village continues to infringe traditional political boundaries.

Extractions: A debate is raging at the United Nations about the role of the Security Council - how to make it more effective, just and accountable. Most member states want to reform the council and democratize it, but the five Permanent Members - the United States, Britain, France, Russia and China - want to keep the privileges they gave themselves more than fifty years ago. Though the Security Council is the UN's most powerful body, it works mostly behind closed doors and with little accountability to the organization's general membership or to the larger public. When its private "consultations" adjourn, other ambassadors sometimes wait outside to solicit information on the council's secrets from their departing colleagues. Amb. Paolo Fulci, council president in December, likened the council to the secret conclave of cardinals in Rome, electing a Pope - "except that there is no beautiful ceiling by Michelangelo to inspire us," he quipped. Amb. Michael Powles of New Zealand calls the council's procedures "simply outrageous." NGOs are kept even more completely in the dark than member states. But NGOs are increasingly entering the debate and claiming a role. In the past three years, NGOs have recognized the council's growing importance to their work in such fields as humanitarian relief, human rights, development and disarmament.

We fear that even more serious violence and suffering may lie ahead, with extremely dangerous implications for international peace and security. A group of us wrote a letter to the President of the Security Council on August 23, 2001 urging action by the Council to deploy observers to monitor compliance with human rights and international humanitarian law standards. We write again today with an even greater sense of urgency.

Extractions: Swiss journalist, eloquent lecturer, business executive, steadfast advocate of peace, was born in Geneva, the son of a clock maker whose original home was in Neuchatel. Early in his boyhood he gave evidence of his capacity to make the most of his remarkable talent and intelligence by intense application. Ducommun was also a political figure of some consequence. In Bern he was a member of the Grand Council for ten years; in Geneva, prior to his leaving in 1865, he was a member of the Grand Council for nine years, becoming vice-chancellor in 1857 and chancellor of state of Geneva in 1862. Ducommun, meanwhile, gave virtually every spare moment at his disposal to his work for peace, most notably after 1890 when he consented to organize and to direct the International Bureau of Peace. From the inception of the Bureau until his death, Ducommun devoted himself, at his own insistence without remuneration, to carrying out its purposes of uniting the many different peace societies throughout the world, preserving archives, preparing for the congresses, implementing their decisions, and acting as a clearinghouse for all kinds of information about peace and the activities on its behalf. Elie Ducommun died at the age of seventy-three of a disease of the heart and lungs.

Albert Gobat Union from 18921909; and Director of the international peace bureau from 1911 to to Gobat, who master-minded a project to establish a permanent Central bureau http://www.ipu.org/strct-e/gobat.htm
Extractions: Albert Gobat, the first Secretary General of the Union, was also one of the eight leading figures in early IPU history who were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. He won this award, which he shared, in 1902, with his friend and compatriot, Elie Ducommun, in recognition of their dedication to the cause of peace. Gobat held the following offices: State Councillor for the Canton of Berne from 1884 to 1912; National Councillor from 1890 to 1914; Secretary General of the Inter-Parliamentary Union from 1892-1909; and Director of the International Peace Bureau from 1911 to 1914. In 1882, he was appointed by two electoral communities to the Grand Council and was nominated State Councillor. He further served as Head of the Department of Public Education of the Canton of Berne (1884-1906) and of the Department of Domestic Affairs (1906-1912). Gobat staunchly supported the principle of equal pay for men and women, especially in the case of telegraphers. In 1902, he prompted the adoption of a resolution whereby the Confederation would always resort to arbitration to resolve disputes concerning the interpretation of trade agreements. The pursuit of such objectives was to characterize Gobat's political activities throughout his mandate as Secretary General of the Inter-Parliamentary Union. The IVth Inter-Parliamentary Conference was held in Berne in 1892. The presidency and organization of the Conference was entrusted to Gobat, who master-minded a project to establish a "Permanent Central Bureau" under the official title "Inter-Parliamentary Bureau for Permanent Arbitration". Most of what the project proposed was accepted by delegates. The Bureau's Headquarters were to be in Berne and its director was to be appointed by the National Groups.

Extractions: 18 June 1998 Check against delivery STATEMENT BY H.E. MR. TUILOMA NERONI SLADE, HEAD OF THE DELEGATION OF SAMOA Mr President, My delegation congratulates you on your presidency of this historic conference. We are honoured to be serving on the conference bureau, and we look forward to working closely with you in achieving total success on all issues. It is critical that we make this a conference of substantive achievement. Let me also, on behalf of my Government, thank the Italian Government for its sense of responsibility and its hospitality in hosting this conference. Mr President, Very many, Governments and individuals alike, civil and non-governmental organisations in particular, have given much of their industry and imagination to the cause of this conference. Their considerable efforts and talents have brought us to Rome and to this juncture of our work. We think especially of the singular contribution of Adriaan Bos, to whom we send best wishes. It is important also to say that rather than to undermine past efforts and the gains made, that we should build on the progress and the agreements we have established during the preparatory process. The aspiration for the establishment of a permanent international criminal court has occupied much of this century, a time in which the international community has experienced the horrors of two world wars and the atrocities of countless communal warfare, especially in Cambodia, the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda. The brutality seen in all these areas and the appalling catalogue of crimes against humanity, of aggression and genocide must remain among the darkest of human legacies. It is legacy made worse by the fact that so many with responsibility for these dreadful crimes have gone unpunished. Worse still, our present century has seen the invention, and the use of weapons of mass and indiscriminate destruction.

We would also like to thank the Vice Chairmen for their contribution as well as the Mission of the United Kingdom , which has a very dedicated team of professionals who are supporting the Committee's work From the beginning, Sir Jeremy has insisted on serious and energetic implementation of Resolution 1373 and monitoring by the Counter Terrorism Committee. We believe he has been imaginative and effective both in building and maintaining consensus within the Committee and in informing Member States of the work and progress of the CTC. As a result of these efforts of the CTC members and experts, and the Secretariat, the CTC has largely completed its successful review of the initial

Letter To The President Of The UN Security Council His Excellency Mr. Sergey Lavrov permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the United Nations Cora Weiss President international peace bureau. http://www.mcc.org/middleeastcrisis/un.html
Extractions: President of the UN Security Council Dear Mr. President and other Member State representatives: As Non-Governmental Organizations with longstanding policy and program commitments to world peace and conflict resolution in the Middle East, we are gravely concerned about the current Middle East crisis. We fear that even more serious violence and suffering may lie ahead, with extremely dangerous implications for international peace and security A group of us wrote a letter to the President of the Security Council on August 23, 2001 urging action by the Council to deploy observers to monitor compliance with human rights and international humanitarian law standards. We write again today with an even greater sense of urgency. We mourn the suffering and we grieve at violent acts on both sides of this conflict. Seeking a resolution that best assures security for all involved, we are compelled to point out that the present situation results directly from almost thirty-five years of occupation. The occupation can be ended only by full withdrawal of Israel from all the territories occupied by force in 1967, as called for by Security Council Resolution 242.
Extractions: These facts are obvious but their implications have been blurred. There is no doubt that, if the peoples of the world were more fully aware of the inherent danger of nuclear weapons and the consequences of their use, they would reject them, and not permit their continued possession or acquisition on their behalf by their governments, even for an alleged need for self-defence. Nuclear weapons are held by a handful of states which insist that these weapons provide unique security benefits, and yet reserve uniquely to themselves the right to own them. This situation is highly discriminatory and thus unstable; it cannot be sustained. The possession of nuclear weapons by any state is a constant stimulus to other states to acquire them.
