In 1888 Cremer and Passy helped to establish the Interparliamentary Union, at which political representatives from Europe and America met to discuss ideas, problems, and legislation leading to peace. The Union still exists. The Boer War in South Africa was strongly opposed by KEIR HARDIE and the Independent Labour Party. KEIR HARDIE (1856-1915) was a British labour leader, first to represent working men in Parliament as an Independent (1892) and first to lead the Labour Party in the House of Commons (1906). The Independent Labour Party, of which he was a founder, incorporated pacifist principles in its policy. A dedicated socialist, Hardie was also an outspoken pacifist. He worked hard to persuade workers world-wide to strike rather than go to war. An International Museum of War and Peace was opened in Lucerne, Switzerland.

COMMENTS ON CURRENT INTERNATIONAL EVENTS ACADEMIC YEAR 2002-2003 LESSON 25 October 2002: Visiting the website of the American Society of International Law. Source: www.asil.org The webiste of ASIL is one of the most important internet tools for students and scholars of international law. The society also publishes two authorative publications: the American Journal of International Law and International Legal Materials. The establishment and early history of ASIL is described as follows at 'History' (of the website) by Frederic Kirgis: 'The American Society of International Law was primarily an outgrowth of the 19th century American peace movement. Within the ranks of the peace movement was a group of "legalists": lawyers who took it almost as an article of faith that international arbitration could take the place of what they saw as the European war system for settling disputes between nation-states. What was needed, they thought, was a permanent international arbitral system with arbitrators who would apply codified rules of international law as a substitute for the use of force to settle international disputes, much as judges in domestic court systems applied rules of domestic law as an alternative to violent "settlement" of disputes between individuals. international law as an instrument of peace. By 1921 the Society was ready to resume normal operations with an annual meeting devoted to the "reconstruction" of international law.'

Before the October 2001 anthrax attacks in Florida, Washington, and New York, many specialists also insisted that public fears that terrorists would use weapons of mass destruction were unwarranted. [1] Today, no one doubts that terrorists might be interested in mass destruction terrorism. Efforts to address the global threat that now exists lies in the tools of nonproliferation, namely the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT), Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT), Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) and Comprehensive Threat Reduction (CTR). Recently, in a direct breech of the NPT, both Pakistan and India conducted nuclear tests (1998) and now possess nuclear weapons that have required direct attention regarding their safety and security in terms of unauthorized or accidental use or accessibility to theft or seizure by terrorist groups. The complexity of containment of nuclear weapons, materials and expertise sought by proliferators requires direct action of the international community to prevent terrorist factions or unstable states from possessing nuclear weapons. The window of vulnerability for large quantities of fissile materials (Russia's inventory through 2007) encompasses the need for counter terrorism efforts to block the formation and activities of large scale international terrorist organizations. Current U.S. Nonproliferation programs in the former Soviet Union [2] include:

September 9, 1999 Harvard Law School Human Rights Program Celebrates 15 Years of "Striking Achievement" The Harvard Law School Human Rights Program (HRP) celebrates its 15th anniversary with a day and a half of discussions and debates among human rights activists and scholars. The panels, speeches and other events will take place over the weekend of September 18th and 19th. The keynote speaker Saturday night will be Nobel laureate Amartya Sen, of Cambridge University, 1998 Nobel Laureate in economics. Chris Lydon of The Connection , WBUR National Public Radio, will be host of a conversation Saturday morning among six human rights experts on the theme, A Half Century of International Human Rights: What's Changed? The Program has much to celebrate. Dean Robert Clark stated that it "has placed the Law School among the world's leading academic institutions in advancing thought in this vital field, as well as in training students to participate as activists and scholars in the human rights movement." He pointed to its "15 years of striking achievement" in the activities noted below. Professor Henry Steiner, the founding director of HRP, underscored the multiple contributions of the Program both to the Law School and to the human rights movement. "These fifteen years have seen a rich start to our work. The Program has made a mark. Now HRP must become an ever more fruitful source of ideas about human rights and of the people who will carry this movement forward."
