	Hanan Ashrawi's Sydney Peace Prize Address
		The Sydney Peace Foundation, its members and partners, as well as its distinguished director, Professor Stuart Rees, have taken the difficult decision to make a difference, to stand up for justice and the pursuit of peace, and to intervene as a positive force in the resolution of global conflicts.
		Peace, or the prospect thereof, is possibly the most effective force for dislodging such notions and trends, becoming, de facto, the most destabilizing factor in a region suffering from an imposed state of suspended animation.
		The logic of peace that had been formulated painstakingly (and painfully) as the substance of Palestinian-Israeli encounters and dialogue is currently being drowned by the din of war drums and the frenzied mutual infliction of pain over the last three years.

	Sydney Peace Foundation - Awarding the Sydney Peace Prize
		The tradition of the Jury is to choose the Sydney Peace Prize recipient by consensus.
		For example, a Peace Prize nominee may be considered worthy because they have worked for human rights in relation to education, social welfare and health issues within their own community.
		Neither have we regarded a Peace Prize recipient as someone whose claims on a Prize must be associated with a specific event, such as a ceasefire in hostilities or the signing of a peace treaty.

	WIR::The ongoing tragedy surrounding Palestine and Israel and the Sydney Peace Prize
		Peace prizes are not awarded to individuals of unassailable purity, or saints or angels.
		Peace prizes are awarded to those who consistently rise above the failings of human character and, in difficult and complex circumstances, move the objectives of peace forward, sowing seeds of hope in fields of despair.
		These voices of peace are struggling in a world deafened by the drums of war, drums beaten loudly by the key allies of the Israeli government in the United States administration and foreign policy establishment.

		In 1999 the Sydney Peace Prize was awarded to Archbishop Emeritus, Nobel Laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa for his work as head of South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission and for the relevance of that work to Australia’s own task to achieve reconciliation with its own indigenous peoples.
		The 1998 Prize was awarded to Muhammad Yunus, founder of the Grameen Bank, which lends minute amounts of money to the poorest of the poor with startling results whereby such borrowers achieve financial autonomy, formerly unknown to them in their impoverished lives.
		Peace is hard to define, single words invariably fail, whereas art, music and poetry have the ability to describe the indescribable, by appealing to the essence of humanity.

	Zionists try to prevent Hanan Ashrawi receiving the Sydney Peace Prize
		The unanimous decision by the Sydney Peace Foundation, functioning under the auspices of the University of Sydney, to present the 2003 Sydney Peace Prize to Palestinian leader Hanan Ashrawi, has resulted in an avalanche of intimidation, coercion and bullying by Zionists and other right-wing layers in Australia intent on forcing a retraction.
		Sydney’s Lord Mayor Lucy Turnbull has publicly announced she will boycott Ashrawi’s lecture tonight, as well as the award ceremony being hosted by NSW Premier Bob Carr at state parliament tomorrow.
		That Ashrawi is facing a campaign to strip her of the Sydney Peace Prize is yet another expression of the ruthless methods employed by the Sharon regime and its international backers to suppress and silence any opposition.

		The Sydney Peace Foundation is neck deep in the business of gambling and calculated risk.
		So even though I would like to, it would be presumptuous of me to say that I accept this prize on behalf of those who are involved in the struggle of the powerless and the disenfranchised against the powerful.

		Announcing the decision, Alan Cameron AM, Chair of the Sydney Peace Foundation, referred to the jury’s citation which recognises, “Irene Khan’s leadership as a courageous advocate of universal respect for human rights, her skills in identifying violence against women as a massive injustice and therefore a priority in campaigning for peace”.
		Director of the Sydney Peace Foundation, Emeritus Professor Stuart Rees said, “The peace prize jury recognised the significance of Ms Khan’s efforts to eliminate violence towards women, whether that violence was caused by poverty, by men’s abusive power, by cultural norms or religious traditions.
		We are also impressed by her diversity – someone who was brought up as a Muslim in Bangladesh, who has married into another culture, who was educated in three different countries and has served the United Nations High Commission for Refugees for over 20 years before becoming Secretary General of Amnesty International”.

		But I must accept it as a literary prize that honors a writer for her writing, because contrary to the many virtues that are falsely attributed to me, I'm not an activist, nor the leader of any mass movement, and I'm certainly not the "voice of the voiceless".

		One of the most meaningful gauges of the integrity of a peace process and its likelihood for success is the degree to which the "peace partners" educate towards peace.
		Compounding the problem is that ever since the hatred in the Palestinian textbooks has been exposed and world pressure has been mounting to eliminate the hatred, various defenders of the PA curriculum have surfaced, trying to legitimize this problematic educational system.
		The truth is that the PA schoolbooks, both old and new, incite to hatred, violence and anti-Semitism, and it's tragic that their defenders are enabling the PA to avoid necessary peace education.
