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.

On Friday morning, United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan was awakened by a phone call with good news. Annan and the organization he heads had won one of the world's highest honors, the Nobel Peace Prize. "It was a wonderful way to wake up," Annan said. Honored by the award, Annan said the United Nations must work even harder to bring about peace, especially during America’s war against terrorism. The United Nations Mission
The United Nations is an organization of representatives from 189 nations around the world. Together, they work for peace, security and economic and social justice for all people. Created after World War II in 1945, the UN today is the only place in which all nations no matter how rich or poor or large or small can meet to talk about the problems of the world.

UNAA Welcomes Award To KoFi Annan
In a media release on 14 October, UNAA welcomed the award of the Nobel Peace Prize to the UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan and the United Nations. Margaret Reynolds, national president of UNAA, said: "We see this Award as timely recognition of the vital importance of the United Nations and its Secretary-General in helping respond effectively
to global crises and problems".
UNAA acknowledged the contribution made by Kofi Annan in recent years in strengthening the operation of the UN, and in building confidence in its capacity to respond. UNAA agreed with Kofi Annan who said, when receiving news of the Award, it "challenges us to do more and to do better, not to rest on our laurels". Nothing could be more true than at this time, when the international community is seeking ways to respond to the threat of terrorism.
In this context UNAA supported the call by the present Nobel Peace Laureates that the United Nations hold an international conference on terrorism "which will investigate its root causes, propose measures to address those causes, and provide international standards to ensure that security needs are met and that the perpetrators of such acts are brought to justice". Margaret Reynolds, on behalf of UNAA, urged the Australian Government to offer support to such an international conference to seek a long-term solution to the global challenges of terrorism.
UNAA noted that the Nobel Peace Award to the Secretary-General of the United Nations follows that given to the UNís second Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold in 1961. The prize has also been awarded to UN Peacekeeping Operations in 1988, the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees in 1954 and 1981, UNICEF in 1965 and the International Labour Organisation (ILO) in 1969.

    cooperation
    With some 50,000 employees and 189 sovereign member countries it has been a very difficult task for the United Nations to strengthen social cooperation and peace around the world. Our world has got smaller and smaller and our pursuit to happiness cannot be envisioned within national borders and away from our accidentally less fortunate people around the world. compromising While the U.N. cannot be more than what its members allow it to be, this state of affairs cannot continue indefinitely. As we get together socially, it is our natural strive to have the social whole more meaningful than the pure sum of its parts. Therefore, we cannot allow the U.N. to continue its compromising work as its members either implicitly or explicitly very often undermine the U.N.'s vision of a better world. change In the light of the recent genocides in Rwanda and Bosnia, of widespread poverty and famines, and now of widespread fear of international terrorism, we must change the role of the U.N. in being a compromising organization.

    United Nations Peacekeeping Forces,
    Norwegian UN peacekeeping troops keep watch on a cease-fire line in southern Lebanon, 1978 UPI/Corbis-Bettmann [Video] international forces founded in 1948 by the authority of the United Nations Security Council to help establish or maintain peace in areas of armed conflict. The forces were awarded the 1988 Nobel Prize for Peace for representing the world community's will to employ peaceful methods to resolve conflicts. The Peacekeeping Forces were first organized to monitor a truce between Israel and its Arab neighbours in 1948. Members of the UN Secretariat and a few soldiers stationed themselves in the disputed area of Palestine to observe and report any violations of the truce. As conflicts arose in other parts of the world, such as the discord between India and Pakistan over Kashmir, the UN sent groups of observers and lightly armed military forces. In 1956 , then UN secretary-general, outlined the guidelines for future employment of peacekeeping forces: permission of all disputing parties is required before intervention; negotiation and persuasion are to be used instead of violence; only the UN Security Council may give orders to the Peacekeeping Forces; and all member nations of the UN must financially support the forces. The latter requirement often is not observed because some member nations refuse for political reasons to pay dues for the forces. Despite such problems with unwilling financial supporters, the UN Peacekeeping Forces continue to work toward peace around the world. They are often employed in areas where a cease-fire is established, but no formal peace treaty has yet been signed, or they maintain a buffer zone between disputing parties. The forces' activities since receiving the Nobel Prize have included helping Namibia make its transition to independence in 1989 and serving as a buffer along the Iraq-Kuwait border following the Persian Gulf War in 1991.

    The Heidelberg Appeal
    The Heidelberg Appeal was publicly released at the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. By the end of the 1992 summit, 425 scientists and other intellectual leaders had signed the appeal. Since then, word of mouth has prompted thousands more scientists to lend their support. Today, more than 4,000 signatories, from over 100 countries have signed it, including more than 70 Nobel Prize winners. In spite of this spontaneous and growing support from the world's scientific community, the Heidelberg Appeal has received very little media attention. Neither a statement of corporate interests nor a denial of environmental problems, the Heidelberg Appeal is a quiet call for reason and a recognition of scientific progress as the solution to, not the cause of, the health and environmental problems that we face. The appeal expresses a conviction that modern society is the best equipped in human history to solve the world's ills, provided that they do not sacrifice science, intellectual honesty and common sense to political opportunism and irrational fears. We want to make our full contribution to the preservation of our common heritage, the Earth.

    Final Statement of the Third Global Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates October 21, 2002 Rome, The 3rd World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates was held from October 18th to 20th, 2002. It was organized by Mikhail Gorbachev and Walter Veltroni, Mayor of Rome. The participants of the 3rd World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates refuse to accept the cynicism and despair that crushes hope and vision. They affirm strongly our common humanity and capacity to work cooperatively, informed by compassion and inspired by love. Our humanity demands this. The meeting encouraged an open exchange of opinions regarding threats to world peace, and the contradictions and instability of the current world order. The Nobel Peace Laureates participating in the meeting sought solutions to the principal challenges of our time: widespread war and violence, including international terrorism; poverty; and environmental degradation. There is an urgent need to find solutions leading to a new world order that emphasizes peace, humanity and equality. 1. Of particular concern to the participants is the increased reliance on violence and war as a primary means to resolve political disputes. It is imperative to seek peaceful political solutions to conflict and to deepen collaboration among states, be it through the United Nations or other regional security organizations.

    Monday , December 10, 2001
    ANNAN AND UNITED NATIONS ACCEPT 2001 NOBEL PEACE PRIZE In Oslo, Norway, today, the Secretary-General and the United Nations received the 2001 Nobel Peace Prize, on the centennial of that award, with Kofi Annan and General Assembly President Han Seung-soo each accepting a medallion and certificate. Upon receiving the prize, the Secretary-General said that the world had entered the third millennium "through a gate of fire," and, noting the inequalities in the world, he added, "If today, after the horror of 11 September, we see better, and we see further, we will realize that humanity is indivisible. New threats make no distinction between races, nations or regions." He said that in the new century, "the sovereignty of States must no longer be used as a shield for gross violations of human rights" and "peace must be made real and tangible in the daily existence of every individual in need."
