Eni's assistance represents the largest single European corporate contribution to UNHCR in recent years. The initiative was officially launched today at Eni's Headquarters in Rome by Ms. Sadako Ogata, UN High Commissioner for Refugees, Mr. Ali Hasanov, Vice Prime Minister of Azerbaijan in charge of the State Committee for Refugees and IDPs, and Mr. Vittorio Mincato, Chief Executive Officer of Eni.

UN, Kofi Annan Win Nobel Peace Prize The United Nations and its Secretary-General Kofi Annan were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday 12 October 2001 for ``their work for a better organized and more peaceful world.'' UN spokesman Fred Eckhard woke Annan and told him the news shortly after 5 am Friday morning. ``Since the end of the cold war, the UN has been able to move toward its full potential in the peace and security area,'' Eckhard said. Nobel Peace Prize citation ``The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2001, in two equal portions, to the United Nations and to its Secretary-General, Kofi Annan, for their work for a better organised and more peaceful world. For one hundred years, the Norwegian Nobel Committee has sought to strengthen organised cooperation between states. The end of the Cold War has at last made it possible for the UN to perform more fully the part it was originally intended to play. Today the organisation is at the forefront of efforts to achieve peace and security in the world, and of the international mobilisation aimed at meeting the world's economic, social and environmental challenges. Kofi Annan has devoted almost his entire working life to the UN As Secretary-General, he has been preeminent in bringing new life to the organisation.

Produced in association with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Since its creation in 1951, UNHCR has helped a total of 30 million refugees, earning two Nobel Peace Prizes in the process. The refugee problem has doubled over the past decade (from 8 million in the 1970's to over 19 million in 1994). Since 1992, an average of 5,000 people a day have been fleeing their homes because of war, human rights abuses and environmental damage caused by war. Furthermore, an estimated 25 million have been displaced within their own countries. One in every 130 people out of a global population of 5.5 billion, has been forced into flight. Apart from providing assistance to refugees in countries of asylum and coping with major refugee emergencies, one of UNHCR's main responsibilities is to provide durable, long-term solutions for the plight of refugees. These are: voluntary repatriation, integration in the first country of asylum or resettlement in a third country. Human Rights: the new consensus contains a wide range of contemporary material on human rights, democracy, development and peace with 64 articles by leading figures including Philip Alston, UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights; Charlotte Bunch, Center for Womens' Global Leadership; Thomas Hammarberg, UN Committee on the Rights of the Child; Schulamith Koenig, Organizing Committee of the People's Decade of Human Rights Education; and Neelan Tiruchelvam, International Centre for Ethnic Studies and Law and Society Trust, and organizations such as International Alert, The Global Campaign for Women's Human Rights and the Lawyers Committee for Human Rights.
