Co-workers say he wins almost immediate trust , not least because he treats all the parties involved as equals and has no preconveived notions.

    Extractions: Monday October 15, 2001 Printer friendly version Email to a friend NOBEL PEACE PRIZE AWARDED TO UNITED NATIONS AND KOFI ANNAN UNITED NATIONS, October 15, 2001 (LSN.ca) - The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded jointly to the United Nations and its Secretary-General Kofi Annan on Friday. Following the award, the organization and its leader were heaped with accolades by world leaders, but given sharp criticism by pro-life leaders. Jim Hughes, National President of Campaign Life Coalition Canada reacted to the announcement of the awards saying, "I'm appalled." Hughes recalled the atrocious record of the United Nations in promoting abortion through its various agencies UNFPA, UNICEF, UNIFEM, UNDP, and the personal efforts of Kofi Annan to promote population control. UNFPA, in conjunction with the International Planned Parenthood Federation, has been the foremost promoter of abortion, abortifacient contraception and sterilization, worldwide, particularly targeting third world nations. While the United Nations record on promoting abortion and population control is well documented, Annan's personal dealings with the subject are hard to find. As recently as July, Annan made a thinly veiled call for abortion rights while promoting "an integrated approach to... slowing population growth" which included a call for "universal access to ...reproductive health care and family planning... (allowing women to) ...control their own fertility." As head of the UN, Annan has appointed a cadre of radical feminists to head up various departments at the world organization including Angela King and Mary Robinson.

    Extractions: Kofi Annan and the United Nations have been rewarded with Nobel Peace Prize. Many people are puzzled, though the position of Nobel Committee should be understood. Who deserved the Nobel Prize this year? Nobody settled any conflicts, and the world did not become more peaceful. On the contrary, terrorist acts were committed in New York, a new war is flaring up in Afghanistan, and many analysts are afraid that the world is on the verge of world war III. Today’s events are accompanied by an unprecedented success of the United Nations. The US has already stopped taking its position into consideration and solves all questions independently. For the time being, the US do not consider the U.N. to be a remnant of the Cold War, though the US always shows tjat the U.N. cannot influence its decisions. The U.N.’s location on US territory irritates some Americans; two small towns even declared their withdrawal from U.N. While the US and NATO were bombing Yugoslavia, the U.N. was not able and did not want to do something to protect the peaceful population. Even today, it cannot do anything to protect civilians in Afghanistan. The U.N. turned into a bureaucratic machine of aninternational scale. It cannot help even itself: payments of different countries are being delayed, and there are even times when U.N. has not money to pay salary its workers.

    Extractions: Planting Seeds For World Peace From Cyprus or the Congo in the 1960s to Yugoslavia or Somalia or Rwanda in the 1990s, Canadians have shared widely in the peacekeeping work of the United Nations. In fact, UN peacekeeping forces are very much the product of a Canadian initiative taken by Lester B. Pearson, then Canada’s Minister for External Affairs, during the Suez Canal crisis of 1956. Pearson had been president, in 1952, of the United Nations General Assembly and later became Canada’s Prime Minister (1963-1968). This historic view portrays Lester B. Pearson, Canada's Minister of External Affairs (and future Prime Minister, 1963-68), receiving the 1957 Nobel Peace Prize, in Norway, from Gunnar Jahn, Chairman, Nobel Committee (1942-66) [NAC/PA 114544] In October 1956, Israeli troops backed by Britain and France attacked the key Suez Canal area, which Egypt had earlier seized. Faced with a situation that threatened to disrupt the alliance of Western powers — or even lead to world war — Pearson proposed a United Nations Emergency Force to stabilize the danger zone and offered Canadian troops to serve in such a collective force. Working through its secretary-general, Dag Hammarskjold, he succeeded in getting the UN to adopt his bold proposal. The UNEF thus quickly came into being under the command of Canadian General Eedson L.M. Burns; a Canadian contingent was a permanent inclusion. Despite difficulties, this UN Force succeeded in restoring order. Pearson, for his efforts, received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1957. Above all, a major instrument had been added to the UN’s global operations, one for which Canada, today, deserves a large portion of the credit.

Annan said the terrorist attacks in the United States showed that "new threats make no distinction between races, nations or regions." The world now has "a deeper awareness of the bonds that bind us all in pain and in prosperity," he said. "Today, no walls can separate humanitarian or human rights crises in one part of the world from national security crises in another," he said. "What begins with the failure to uphold the dignity of one life, all too often ends with a calamity for entire nations."

    Extractions: Eisaku Sato (1901-75) The former prime minister of Japan who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1974, was the first Asian to receive the Peace Prize. Chair of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, Aasa Lionaes, declared in her presentation that the committee wished "to emphasize the important role the Japanese people have played in promoting close and friendly cooperation with other nations." She went on to say that Sato had made a major contribution to peace "by countering the tendency towards a nationalistic policy in Japan after the war" and by conducting a peaceful foreign policy. The Committee attached considerable importance to Sato's opposition to nuclear arms for Japan and his bringing Japan into the pact on the nonproliferation of nuclear arms, signed in February 1970. Based on the Nobel Peace Prize awarded in December 1974 to the late Eisaku Sato, a former Prime Minister, the Foundation was established on 11 November 1975, as a public corporation with the joint support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of education, Science and Culture, to fulfil the vision of the late Mr. Sato "to cooperate with the development of the United Nations University and to contribute to the improvement of world peace and welfare". The late Prime Minister Eisaku Sato's ideal was the improvement of world peace and welfare and he believed that the United Nations had a major role in achieving it. For this reason, he went to extraordinary lengths to establish the United Nations University and attract it to Japan, and it was his fervent wish to strengthen the advancement of the University. Under the inspiration of the late former Prime Minister Eisaku Sato, the objectives of this Foundation are to contribute to the development of the United Nations University and to the attainment of world peace and welfare.
