Topic: International Peace Conference


In the News (Sat 28 Nov 09)

  
  HLS : Institute for International Peace Conference
The international legal order was a focal point for some the last century’s most fateful political dramas ­ decolonization, human rights, arms control, responses to genocide and environmental degradation ­ as well as the site for any number of more routine pragmatic endeavors ­ law of the sea, of the air, of space.
The International Institute for Peace proposes a two day symposium to reconsider the international legal order in light of the dramatic changes which followed 1989 and which have been given new focus by the events of 2001.
The international market is not a force of nature — it is a legal construct, an array of economic activities made possible by a structure of public and private law.

 Second International Peace Conference
When the first International Peace Conference, was held from 19th to 21st April 1999, it was during a period of increasing expectations for inter-Korean rapprochement that culminated in the historic summit of June 2000.
Conference participants welcomed Secretary Colin Powell's assurance that the USA is ready to dialogue with the DPRK "anytime, anywhere, and without precondition", and expressed the hope for an early response from the DPRK.
Although the Conference heard both President Kim Dae Jung and opposition leader Lee Hoe Chang commit themselves to continuing the policy of inter-Korean engagement, it was clear that the differences in approach threaten to weaken South Korea's role in the engagement process.

 Farrakhan calls for International Peace Conference
Unfortunately, the peace initiative was tied to so many concessions expected of the Palestinians, that in my humble judgment, it increases the anger of the Palestinians, their despair and, unfortunately, it increases the desire of some to continue to use their bodies as weapons against Israeli occupation.
