	[06 Apr 1999]: PRESS CONFERENCE ON HAGUE APPEAL FOR PEACE
		Otunnu said that he considered the Hague Appeal for Peace and the conference organized for May to be of capital importance, for several reasons.
		The culture of peace that UNESCO was designing and supporting, and their campaign for peace education was very important in that regard.
		The culture of peace was no longer a UNESCO or UNICEF initiative, but a declaration and programme of action, which would encompass peace education and many other parts of the agenda, to be adopted at the Conference.

		After a decade of world conferences on children, environment, human rights, social development, population, advancement of women, and habitat, we believe the last major conference of the century should be on peace and international justice.

		After a decade of major UN conferences that have addressed such vital issues as gender, social development, and the environment, The Hague Appeal is working to ensure that the last great conference of this century is devoted to peace.

	An unusual meeting of bankers and believers
		Together, the First and the Second Hague Conferences (the Second was held in 1907) established the principle of universality in international relations, inasmuch as states from outside Europe participated in both conferences.
		The upcoming centennial celebration of the First Hague Peace Conference, scheduled for May 1999, promises to be a significant milestone in the further development of humanity's collective identity.
		And the succession of other conferences, conventions and agreements aimed at promoting human rights, sustainable development and disarmament, in addition to strides in public education and the increasing reach of a globalized media, has made war increasingly unacceptable _ both morally and politically _ as a means for resolving conflict.

	Gandhi TODAY \| The 1999 Hague Peace Appeal
		Applauded at the time by the leader of the American delegation as the "first conference the entire world ever held", it was only attended by 100 delegates and their officials, and represented only those 26 nations recognised as having independent sovereign status by the main colonial European players of the time.
		It led to plans for an international court of arbitration; a second Hague Conference in 1904; the erection of a temple of peace in The Hague; the League of Nations and ultimately after the Second World War, to the United Nations and the International Court of Justice.
		Even though the conference was to herald the most violent and strife- ridden century in history it recognised, for the first time, the need for conflict resolution through international diplomatic discussions and for the establishment of new structures, to settle disputes peacefully by mutual agreement.

		The Vredespalais, or Peace Palace, is a monument which owes its existence to the 1899 Hague Peace Conference.
		Any efforts by delegates at the Hague Appeal for Peace to push for sweeping aims - from the organisers' call for the abolition of war to campaigns against nuclear arms and efforts to create a "culture of peace" - are likely to achieve much less than smaller, humbler efforts.
		Bill Pace, secretary-general of the Hague Alliance for Peace notes that, because of "conference fatigue," plans to wrap up the 1990s with a major UN conference on peace and security issues never bore fruit.

	The Hague Appeal for Peace International Civil Society Conference
		This involves peace and human rights education at all levels and in all areas of life; to inform and encourage people that peace is worth working for and that everybody can do something towards this aim.
		The conference programme which included a vast array of seminars, workshops, fringe meetings, two plenaries and many lively cultural events, highlighted two major convictions: that there is no peace without justice and a respect of human rights; that conflict is healthy and ever-present but the issue is about preventing violent responses by using other means.
		Much was made of the power of ordinary people in bringing about peaceful solutions with such statements as, ‘ordinary people doing extraordinary efforts (mainly women) in conflict zones’, ‘the will and pressure of the common people brought warring factions round the peace talks table’, peace was not found through war but through dialogue and mediation’.

	Letter dated 10 September 1999
		Her Majesty Queen Beatrix marked the long standing commitment of the Dutch Royal Family to the 1899 Peace Conference, which was hosted by her grand-mother, Queen Wilhelmina, and to the 1999 celebration of its Centennial with her presence at the opening session and with a reception at Noordeinde Palace for participants to the expert discussions.
		The organisation of the Centennial events in the Netherlands benefited greatly from the fact that the Peace Palace, seat of the Permanent Court of Arbitration and the International Court of Justice, was available as venue for expert discussions on the legislative and normative aspects of the Centennial of the First International Peace Conference.
		From those earliest stages the factual organization of the Centennial of the First International Peace Conference was in the hands of Thijs Büchli of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and Serguey V. Chatounovsky Byrnough of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation.

		Such a declaration would serve to put the principle of the peaceful settlement of disputes at the center of the international agenda; it would remind States of their obligations and thereby contribute to the prevention of conflicts; and this universal declaration would be imperative for States and enhance its pedagogical value.
		As to the peaceful settlement of disputes Ambassador Arguello pointed out that the end result of the Decade on International Law ought to be the universal acceptance of the compulsory jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice (though he noted that influential quarters rejected this).
		The committee supported the idea of a centennial conference of the PCA in 1999, at which States could adopt a solemn declaration or Final Act on the strengthening of the PCA and the prevention and mitigation of conflicts and disputes.

	The Hague Appeal for Peace, Background
		On May 18, 1899, 108 delegates from 26 countries gathered in The Hague's beautiful Huis ten Bosch in response to an invitation issued the previous August by Nicholas II, the young Czar of Russia, to hold an international conference to discuss way of halting the arms race.
		The first Hague Peace Conference was not driven by the sudden conversion of Europe's rulers to pacifism, but by Russia's desire to escape the crushing burden of keeping up with the pace of armament in Western Europe, particularly Germany and England.
		It also adopted "Declarations" to the effect that the throwing of projectiles from balloons and other aircraft and the use of asphyxiating gases and dum-dum bullets should be forbidden, the first because of the indiscriminate effect on civilians and the other two because of their inhumane nature.

	Wilson and the League of Nations by Sanderson Beck
		The first Hague Conference that began on May 18, 1899 included 26 states and is considered the first international assembly that met in peace time in order to preserve peace instead of to conclude a war.
		Wilson decided to attend the Peace Conference in France with a select group of experts, such as geographers, ethnologists, and economists, whom he told, "Tell me what is right, and I'll fight for it."14 Unfortunately he did not invite anyone to attend from the Senate, which later was to cause irreconcilable problems.
		The next day he addressed the Peace Conference, which he felt had two purposes-not only the settlements required by the war but also the secure establishment of a means for the maintaining of world peace.
