	John Capodistria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ioannis Capodistrias was born in Corfu (Kerkyra) in the Ionian Islands, which at the time of his birth were a possession of Venice.
		Capodistria visited his Ionian Islands homeland, by then under British rule, in 1818, and in 1819 he went to London to discuss the islanders' grievances with the British government, who told him that the islands were none of Russia's business.
		Capodistria became increasingly active in support of Greek independence from the Ottoman Empire, and in 1822 this led to his resignation as Foreign Minister.

	Dedicated
		Capodistrias regarded the social revolutions caused by the authoritarian and undemocratic activities of the powerful states against the weaker ones, as fundamental dangers.
		Capodistrias' main target was the recognition of the right of the weak states to participate in the diplomatic dialogues, and to seek themselves the solutions of their national problems in accordance with their rights and in co-operation with the powerful states.
		For Capodistrias, the cornerstone of the unity of a Paneuropean or even international organization was not the despotism of the powerful states, but rather, the security of the independence and the rights of the weaker ones.
