Dear Secretary General Boutros-Ghali: ,.. ,lifc,J;;' !~ C~. ·· E . -,_F ~ ~C~HARY-,. ,,...;~_. ,.ll

I recently received the attach~d information from Senor ~_gg9 Olivera Ga so, President of the De t. Association of Dismissed and Retired Professors of Cuzco' regarding his request- for · -ass.istance for retired and-- i"aid-off rofessors in the Republic of Peru.-- -- -

According to Senor Olivera, teachers who have retired or been dismissed in Peru are going through very hard economic times. Now the current President, Alberto Fujimori, has them subjected to poverty, since he froze their pensions, which are now equivalent to about $80-$100 (U.S.) a month. Their pleas, demonstrations, demands, marches and hunger strikes have been ignored by the government of Peru.

The letter I have attached is requesting the United Nations to approach the Government of Peru to study the best way of financing a budget aimed at economic improvements such as in the pensions of teachers and administrative personnel of the educa­tion sector. The letter also requests the United Nations to place more pressure on the Government of Peru with respect to improving subhuman conditions of retired persons.

I would greatly appreciate your looking into this matter and proviaing me with a response to Senor Olivera's letter. If you require any additional information or have any questions, please do pot hesitate to contact Jay Hansen of my staff at (202)225-4311 .

Thank you in advance for any assistance you may be able to provide. I look forward to hearing from you.

EXECU1 p;[ om1~E OF THE SECRETARY-GENERAL

Dear Secretary General Boutros-Ghali:

High Commissioner for Human Rights. n r. orbac ev's December 7, 1988 speech before the UN General Assembly he said: " ... I would like to believe that our hopes will be matched by our joint effort to put an end to an era of wars, confrontation and regional conflicts, to aggressions against nature, to the terror of hunger and poverty and to political terrorism." Mr. Gorbachev would add prestige to the new Human Rights post, and thus add to the work of the UN in general.

In October of 1991 I ro. osed to the Securit Council that Mr. Gorbachev be named the _new Secretar:y~General of the UN. Enclosed ISJ!..letter to the editor rinted in the New York Times on this sugLect. At that time we knew little about ou. However, ou have roved to be the best Seer.eta~ General of the UN, and we com letel support your P.ro ram to im rove the effectiveness and resti e of this cru_cjal international or anization. I also believe that when you retire from your post, Mr. Gorbachev should be suggested as the next Secretary General. He would be the most able person to continue your work.

Respectfully yours,

Douglas Mattern President

MESSAGE OF THE SECRETARY-GENERAL ON THE OCCASION OF THE 35TH ANNIVERSARY GALA OF

THE ALVIN AILEY AMERICAN DANCE THEATER New York, 8 December 1993

To be delivered by - -- - --- --- -Amoassaao,Joseph-Vemer Reea-- ------------ ---- -- ---- - - - -

Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Public Affairs

I am sorry that other commitments prevent me from joining you

in person this evening.

In a world of strife and conflict, the Alvin Ailey American

Dance Theater has, for thirty-five years, taken its message of peace

to the four corners of the globe, from Saigon to Norway, from

Argentina to Senegal.

My wife and I still have fond memories of Judith's performance

with her umbrella under the pyramids of Giza. We hope the

company will return to Egypt in the very near future.

I am sure that I am speaking on behalf of all of the 68 nations

of the world in which the company has performed, in sending this

message of congratulations and encouragement to the Ailey

Company. It is our fervent hope that the Company will, for many

years to come, continue to perform its greatest mission, that of

uniting all peoples in peace.

His Excellenc.y Boutros Boutro·s-Ghali Secretary General of the United Nations United Nations United Nations Room S3800 New Yprk, NY 10017

De.ar Mr. Secretary-General;

Last fall we had the pleasure of meeting you and Mrs. Boutros-Ghali at the Business Council for the United Nations dinner, It was an honor for the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater to perform at this event which paid tribute to your tremendous contributions as Secretary General.

Mrs, Boutros-Ghali remembered enjoying our performances in Cairo several years ago and has been so helpful in arranging a repeat visit for the company this fall. White contt'J.cts have yet to be :signed, we expect to play at the Cairo Opera House at the end of Octobe-r.

When we return to the United States, we will celebrate our 35 th Anniversary with a Gala performance at New York City Center Theater on December 8. Numerous dignitaries, celebrities. and phiJanthropists have agreed to participate in the celebration. The. performance will highlight our role as artistic ambassadors to the world; since QlJT fo1..1rtding in 19Sa, the company has performed in 67 c.ountries on six continents, Indeed the New York Times has noted that our "phenomenal popularity is unmatched by any other dance company in the world,"

We would be deeply honored if you would consider serving as Honorary Chairman of this event. We can not imagine anyone who better exemplifies our or1ani2.ation' s vision for worfd peace· and unity among peoples.

Dear Mr. Secretary-General :

WAYNE R. REYNOLDS Executive Director

December 3, 1993

On behalf of the American Academy of Achievement, we have the privilege of extending to you this invitation to be a guest of honor at the 33rd annual Salute to Excellence weekend program at The Mirage an Treasure Island inlasVegas, June 16-18, 1994. The occasion will culminate with a black-tiit ~anguet of the Golden Plate on the evening of Saturday, Ju!_l~_18.

During the ceremonies, the guests of honor will be presented with the Golden Plate Award and then inducted into the Academy's new Library of Living History. The Library will preserve the life stories of the 20th century's most extraordinary achievers and bring to life the pages of history for thousands of students across the nation.

Many of the Academy's past honorees now serving on the Golden Plate Awards Council and 25 new guests of honor-each a "representative of the many who excel" in their chosen profession - will meet one another in a unique gathering of leaders and innovators.

During the Salute program, the adult guests of honor will share their experiences with 400 brilliant young scholars, the outstanding high school honor students from all 50 states.

The 1994 events - getting underway with the Reception and Dinner on Thursday evening, June 16-will include the symposium series (where each honoree may reminisce on career highlights), a Friday evening out ing and pirate battle at Treasure Island, a special performance of the Cirque du Soleil, and the Banquet of the Golden Plate ceremonies.

The Academy will be pleased to host each guest of honor (and spouse) at The Mirage resort and provide your plane transportation.

The Academy looks forward to your participation in our 33rd annual program-ideally for the full program, but at the convenience of your schedule if that is not manageable. We congratulate you on your selection .

DEAR MR . AND MRS . WIER,

wo things happened today to remind me of the Academy of Achievement weekend in Las Vegas. The first was that I finished reading an autographed copy of Tom

Clancy's Patriot Games; the second, that my pictures were finally developed . I have to pick them up in a couple of hours, and I can't wait to see them!

The "Salu te to Excellence" weekend was an absolutely amazing, overwhelming experience. I still can't believe that it really happened. Now that I'm back in reality, it

all feels like a beautiful dream. I met people I had only read about or seen on television or in the movies - Mona Van Duyn, Dr. James Watson, Kevin Costner, Captain Jackie Parker, General Norman Schwarzkopf, Jim Borgman, Susan Butcher (and Granite), Tom Clancy, Jessye Norman. I suppose what touched me the most is that these famous "achievers" have never sacrificed their personal ideals or their humanity to reach their goals. They have never ceased to be themselves, or, as Kevin Costner said, "to hear their own voices in a noisy world:' They were all approachable, encouraging, and interested in the students. To be able to talk with them was truly inspirational.

Another thing that struck me was that the honorees were not, on the whole, one-track people. Although their primary interests had brought them fame, and in many cases, fortune, they had many other topics they wanted to discuss. I ate lunch on the third day next to Dr. Watson, one of the discoverers of the shape of DNA, and we talked about the Kennedy assassination. Instead of speaking about his work, Tom Clancy described his admiration for America and the military that had developed along with his writing. I discussed racial and sexual discrimination with Jim Borgman and his wife, traded high school experiences with Jackie Parker, and listened to Colin Powell's thoughts - not on his job or his Cabinet position, but on the "new world order" that we students will inherit.

The other students at the weekend were a wonderful group - open-minded, articulate, curious, assertive, outgoing. I discovered that, despite our diverse backgrounds, we all had in common our love of learning, which bonded us together. We enjoyed being with each other, exploring the new experiences we were having, sharing stories.

One of the stories the "Britannica kids" liked to tell was of the Britannica breakfast, when we were forced to agonize, Cross pens poised over order forms, "Encyclopedias or Great Books?" All of us were so thrilled to receive such special gifts; I can't wait until my Great Books arrive. My grandfather is as excited as I am. He has wanted to buy a set of books like these all of his life, but was never able to. (I promised him he can come over and spend a weekend reading!) Additionally, I will be double-majoring at Indiana University next year in flute performance and classics. The first several volumes of my new books will be absolutely invaluable. I studied the photographs carefully and found works by Aeschylus, Sophocles, Aristophanes, Vergil, Homer, Plato, Aristotle - how wonderful for a future classics major to own all these!

The "Salute to Excellence" weekend was a memorable experince, one that I am certain I will be telling my children about someday. It was the perfect way to end my high school career. Not only was it a luxurious weekend in a beautiful setting, but, more importantly, it was a strong encouragement to me to continue putting forth my best effort in whatever I do. To you, my sponsors, I can only say: Thank you, thank you, thank you . You have given me the unique opportunity to attend something very special, something I will never forget, and I am so grateful.

Sincerely,

Sarah B. Ferrario

WHO SELECTS THE GUESTS OF HONOR

or possible invitation to the Salute to Excellence weekend, the

Academy's Golden Plate Awards Council annually reveiws a broad

spectrum of inspiring "exemplars of excellence:' 1The Awards Council

1s comprised of many eminent past honorees of the Academy who annually

select 25 new guests of honor. Twenty-five illustrious Awards Council

members join the new guests of honor at the Salute program, and participate

in the award presentation at the Banquet of the Golden Plate.

WHO GOVERNS THE ACADEMY

The Board of Patrons - comprised exclusively of "Patrons of the Academy"

whose donations provide the program's basic national funding - oversees all

financial aspects of the Academy's operation. Each year, the Board's executive

committee reviews - and considers for its approval - a detailed budget,

including staff salaries and all other Academy expenditures. 1The executive

committee receives a monthly financial report from its CPA and the Academy

national headquarters. Additionally, an annual audit is presented to the entire

DEAR MR. AND MRS . HAHN:

t has been nearly a week since I have returned from the Banquet of the Golden Plate weekend program, yet the memories and exhiliaration of those days in Las Vegas are still very much a part of me. This weekend was the single most memorable time of my life, and its impacts upon me are indescribable.

From the moment the plane landed in Las Vegas, I was surrounded by incredible people. I first became acquainted with several other students, all talented and extremely

intelligent. I met innumerable National Merit Scholars, several Presidential Scholars, gifted athletes (including the High School Baseball Player of the Year and the National Junior Rodeo Champion), polished artists, and skilled public speakers. As I spoke with them, I discovered a common thread among us. We all wanted to make an impact upon the world we were about to inherit .

As the weekend officially started, I was simply awestruck by the variety of the speakers and attendees. A cross section of the achievers at the Banquet included William Gates, Kevin Costner, Surgeon General Antonia Novello, Nobel Prize Winner Dr. Arthur Kornberg, Librarian of Congress James Billington, and film maker George Lucas. I was surprised not only by their accessibility, but also by their personal interest in our lives. I was shocked when I spent five minutes with General Colin Powell (Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff) discussing which major I should choose at college! Few were ostentatious or arrogant and all stated how impressed they were by our accomplishments.

The lessons these speakers shared were as varied as their individual fields. Actor Tom Selleck stressed the necessity of failure in the path to overall success, while Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist Jim Borgman told us to always make time to, " ... dream, play, and adventure:' Tom Clancy shared the biggest fear we will experience in life: the possibility of reaching the age of sixty-five, looking back, and regretting not doing something when we had the chance to do it. CIA Director Robert Gates developed this point further when he said we must reach out and grab every chance while it exists. He felt only the great successes in the world have the courage to blindly chase these opportunities.

The lessons learned at this weekend are priceless. It is unfortunate that more people cannot experience it for themselves. I am driven more than ever to make an impact upon the world . I realize that nothing is really out of reach . More than anything else, I have learned the late nights, extra hours of studying and practicing, and· other sacrifices that I have made have all been worth it. As the American Academy of Achievement said, "The program is like a before and after of the American Dream." I met bright, young, motivated students and successful adults. This combination, and event, is spectacular.

My fondest memory of the Salute to Excellence weekend occurred during the evening at the Hoover Dam. The structure itself was incredible, and we were only the second group in history to be able to meet there. After the private tour of the dam, I ate dinner with recently released hostage Thomas Sutherland and his wife. Our conversation centered upon the current situation in Ethiopia and then moved to the subject of English Literature. We then heard Dolly Parton, Kevin Costner, Jessye Norman, and General Norman Schwarzkopf describe their various paths to and emotions towards achievement and leadership. After a private fireworks display and performance by the Army's National Choir, I discussed the Iditarod race course with Susan Butcher while waiting for the elevator to the top of the dam.

Thank you for allowing me such rare memories; they will serve to guide me as I strive for my own goals in life . ..

Sincerely,

Brett W. Cox

he Academy normally schedules its annual gathering for late June at

various cities and resorts around the country. The three-day Salute to

Excellence program starts on Thursday evening with a reception and

dinner and continues throughout the weekend with informal get-togethers

and symposium series ... where each of the honored guests has an

opportunity to reminisce briefly on career highlights and perhaps new

challenges and goals. The dramatic finale occurs on Saturday night when

some of America's most outstanding leaders and innovators are honored at the

impressive black-tie Banquet of the Golden Plate.

WHAT IS THE ACADEMY

ach year, the American Academy of Achievement invites fifty men and

women of exceptional accomplishment - 25 distinguished past

... 111111111 awardees and 25 new guests of honor - to share a weekend with one

another and 450 of the nation's most outstanding high school honor students.

During the three-day "Salute to Excellence," these Young Leaders of Tomorrow

have a chance to meet and discuss issues with eminent adult achievers from

every facet of American life ... the sciences, business, the professions, sports,

literature, entertainment, the military, the arts, and public service. 1The

highlight of the weekend program is the spectacular Banquet of the Golden

Plate, where each guest of honor is presented with the Golden Plate Award as

a 0 representative of the many who excel" in his chosen profession.

WHY AND HOW

The Academy was founded in 1961 "to inspire youth with new dreams of

achievement in a world of boundless opportunity:' Since its creation, more

than 9,000 of America's most outstanding students have participated in the

Salute to Excellence program. 1Today's youth has seen many honors heaped

upon those made famous solely by beauty, athletic skill, or the ability to

amuse and entertain. The Academy believes that young people should also

see tangible evidence of accomplishments in everyday life, service to one's

fellow man, and in the achievement of the difficult or impossible.

THE AMERICAN DREAM

The event can best be described as the "before and after" of the American

Dream. The honored guests are those who have made a significant difference

in today's world through individual effort in their chosen field. The roster of

past awardees reads like a "Whds Whd' of Twentieth Century America, and

includes many Nobel, Pulitzer, Oscar, Emmy, Grammy, Heisman, National

Medal of Science, and Business Hall of Fame winners. 1The electricity and

inspiration of the program grows throughout the three days as the students

are reminded of America's history of progress and heritage of individual

leadership and initiative. The adult guests of honor also see the promise

represented by this collection of young creative minds. 1Adults and students

alike come away revitalized, with a new sense of purpose. Helen Hayes

describes it as " . .. one of the most exhilarating and gratifying occasions in my

lifetime of occasions:' 1Student reaction to the "unforgettable" experience is

reflected by this comment from "Miss Future Business Leader of America;'

Gail Casteel. "The Banquet of the Golden Plate weekend is an experience I will

remember and treasure for the rest of my life. Never before have I been surrounded

by so many impressive people, both students and adults, and never will I be

able to express my appreciation enough on being able to participate in the

"salute to excellence" ... I only wish every young person could have shared in

this fantastic weekend. I'd give the world to live it all again!"

ACHIEVEMENT TELEVISION NETWORK

he Achievement Television Network is a live interactive "distance

learning" network that enables students to meet and learn from the

heroes of our time while also satisfying curriculum requirements.

Achievement TV is much more than a new source of programming for our

schools. This innovative video teleconference will bring role models directly

into classrooms - live via satellite and cable - as part of the core curriculum

and encourage participation by students and teachers. In their own words,

Academy members will relay their personal paths to success and bring to life

the pages of history for thousands of students. Achievement TV currently has

7,500 affiliated network schools in more than 40 states. The 1992-1993 schedule

includes programs on "The Democratic Process;' "The Genetic Revolution;'

"Passion, Creativity, and the Arts;' and "Justice and the Citizen:' The

Achievement TV programs are re-broadcast on the Arts & Entertainment

Network's ''A&E Classroom'' series. A&E reaches thousands of classrooms and

58 million homes across the nation.

Durant l'annee 1995, les Nations Unies vont mettre en place tout un ensemble de manifestations, afin de sensibiliser l'opinion publique aux grandes questions du moment. Notre objectif est de toucher tousles secteurs de la soci6t6, et de mobiliser les acteurs gouvernementaux et prives.

Pour me conseiller sur les differents aspects de la celebration du cinquantieme, j'ai decid6 decreer un groupe d'experts internationaux. Il sera notamment charg6 de participer a 1'6tablissement du programme de cette manifestation, pour lequel une reunion preparatoire se tiendra en 1994.

Je serais tres heureux si vous acceptiez d'Atre membre de ca groupe, et apportiez ainsi votre contribution, l New York ou dans votre pays. Votre longue exp6rience, votre d6vouement et votre engagement au service des id6aux des Nations Unies nous seraient extrbement pr6cieux.

En esp6rant que l'Organisation pourra compter sur votre soutie~, je vous prie de croire, char Monsieur, l l'expression de mes sentiments les meilleurs. ~

Dear Sir:

We are a group o~ Spanish citizens deeply aware of third world problems. For that reason, sixteen days ago in Madrid, we started a hunger strike in order to convince the Spanish Government to devote 0,7 percent of GNP in !994 to the development of poorer countries. Through our strike we also want to create among our fellow citizens a deeper awareness of these countries' critical problems.

The strike is already yielding some important results (another permanent strike has been started in Orihuela, in the Alicante province), it has had extensive media coverage and is being supported by 406 NGOs, that is to say, 75% of all Spanish ones.

We have been recieved bv Mr. Solana, the but we are still waiting far a response from from the political parties. We will continue the pressure on both the political authorities

Your personal support, to the extent you helpful and effective, since it would get wide

LES ASSISES NATIONALES "POUR CONSTRUIRE LA PAIX" qui se sont tenues a la Cite des Sciences et de l'Industrie a PARIS ce 7 Novembre 1993, a l'initiative de l'APPEL DES CENT, ont rassemble plusieurs centaines de personnalites, de representants d'organisations et d'associations fran~aises et de nombreux amis de la paix de differents courants de pensee.

La qualite du debat auquel elles ont donne lieu, la diversite des opinions qui s'y sont librement exprimees dans un souci de comprehension mutuelle, ont mis en evidence l'interet d'une concertation ouverte. Celle-ci est apparue necessaire a la recherche de toutes les convergences utiles pour agir au service de la Paix.

Prenant en compte les changements intervenus dans un monde en profonde mutation, les echanges ont souligne comment la construction de la paix exige une conception nouvelle des rapports entre les hommes, les peuples, les etats, qui ne soient pas bases sur la force ou la violence, mais sur la negociation des conflits, la concertation, la cooperation et la communaute d'interets.

Ils ont mis en evidence le role de plus en plus important des opinions publiques et des organisations qui sont leur porte-parole pour etablir ces nouveaux rapports.

AGIR :

- contre la militarisation et le commerce des armes et pour la reduction des depenses d'armement

- pour un desarmement general et controle

- pour un developpement plus equitable et accessible a tous !es peuples

- pour une necessaire protection de la nature et contre le pillage de ses ressources

- pour de nouvelles exigences de la defense des droits de l'homme et de la democratie : contre les nationalismes, toutes les formes de racismes et d'exclusions

- pour !'education a la Paix.

- pour une democratisation des institutions internationales prenant notamment en compte le role des O.N.G.

Tels sont les differents chantiers qu'exige aujourd'hui la construction de la Paix.

. . ./ ...

Comme le souligne le Secretaire General de l'ONU dans le message de soutien qu'il a adresse aux Assises : "LA P AIX N'EST PAS SEULEMENT A CONSTRUIRE. ELLE EST A REINVENTER".

La terrible menace que representent l'existence des armements nucleaires et le developpement de nouvelles strategies fondees sur leur emploi effectif, ce qui accroit le danger de leur proliferation, a tout particulierement ete au coeur de nombrcuses interventions.

Au moment ou les partisans de la modernisation de l'arme nucleaire exercent des pressions pour que la France suspende son moratoire, les participants ont exprime leur attachement -partage par l'ensemble des forces pacifiques - au respect de ces moratoires.

N'est-ce pas en effet l'une des conditions essentielles pour parvenir a un accord international sur l'interdiction totale et definitive de tous les essais nucleaires ?

Un tel accord est indispensable pour que l'echeance du Traite de Non Proliferation (T.N.P.) en 1995 soit elargi aux pays non signataires et puisse constituer la premiere etape d'un desarmement nucleaire qui s'imposera a tous.

Au meme titre que pour les armements chimiques, l'abolition des armes nucleaires comme armes de destruction massive doit etre affirmee. Il est souhaitable qu'elle fasse l'objet d'une grande campagne populaire internationale avec le soutien des medias pour permettre a l'opinion publique de se determiner en connaissance de cause sur un probleme de societe crucial pour l'avenir de l'humanite.

L'APPEL DES CENT soullaite que le large debat ouvert au cours de ces Assises, qui associe les causes humanitaires et pacifistes se prolonge, s'elargisse dans notre pays sans a priori ni exclusive.

Message adresse par le Secretalre General de l'ONU a /'occasion des Ass/ses Natlona/es de /'APPEL DES CENT LE 7 NOVEMBRE 1993

L'exigence de la paix reste plus que jamais, pour nous, un imperieux objectif.

Certes, depuis quelques annees, l'Histoire, dans sa subite acceleration, a fait naitre de nouveaux espoirs : la fin de l'antagonisme EsVOuest et de la Guerre froide, la resolution de nombreux conflits regionaux, la fantastique ouverture realisee au Proche-Orient...

Mais, dans le m~me temps, nous sommes les temoins anxieux de lourds nuages qui obscurcissent ces tueurs : la resurgence des micro-nationalismes, porteurs de toutes les haines et de toutes les exclusions, le dechainement des guerres civiles en maints endroits du monde, et toujours la persistance - parfois !'aggravation meme - de la misere et du sous-developpement.

La mobilisation de tous en faveur de la paix demeure done une necessite de notre temps.

L'Organisation des Nations Unies, avec les moyens qui sont les siens, poursuit sans relAche les difficiles objectifs que lui ont assignes las redacteurs de la Charte de San Francisco.

En l'espace de cinq ans , !'Organisation mondiale a lance plus d'operations de maintien de la paix que pendant las quarante annees precedentes. Dans l'Ex-Yougoslavie, au Cambodge, au Moyen­Orient. au Salvador, en Angola, en Somalia, au Mozambique, en Haiti, les Nations-Unies doivent faire face aux situations complexes pour lesquelles les Etats requierent de plus en plus frequemment son concours.

J'ai eu !'occasion, l'an dernier, dans l'"Agenda pour la Paix" que j'ai adresse au Conseil de securite, d'enoncer les grandes lignes de ce que doit ~tre pour moi la nouvelle diplomatie de !'Organisation dans ce domaine.

Aujourd'hui nous devons aller plus loin. La paix n'est pas seulement a construire, elle est, sans cesse, a reinventer. On ne le dira jamais assez, la paix est un objectif global. C'est !'aspiration supr~me par laquelle nous voulons affirmer que nous sommes tous membres de la grande famille humaine ! Car la paix n'est pas seulement !'absence de guerre, c'est aussi la recherche d'un developpement durable et harmonieux de !'ensemble de la planete. Car la Paix ce n'est pas seulement le desarmement, c'est aussi la protection des droits de l'homme et la promotion de la democratie partout dans le monde !

C'est dire combien j'approuve et j'encourage vos objectifs. L'Organisation des Nations vous a consacre, ii ya quelques annees "Massager de la paix". Je sais que vous ~tes, plus que jamais, digne de ce beau titre.

C'est grAce a des associations et a des initiatives telles que les ve>tres que !'opinion publique intemationale demeure sensibilisee a notre commune mission de paix.

Je souhaite done le meilleur succes a vos travaux.

Boutros BOUTROS GHAU

Message du Directeur General de l'UNESCO

Jamais peut-etre depuis quarante-cinq ans la paix n' aura ete A la fois si lointaine et si proche.

Si lointaine, puisque les nouvelles configurations voient £lamber les haines et les intolerances ethniques, culturelles, religieuses, puisque aucune jeune democratie ne semble A l'abri des convoitises de tous ordres, puisque la misere creuse jour a pres j our des fractures dramatiques au sein des societes et entre elles, puisque se poursuivent contre l 'environnement des atteintes que l'on sait mortelles.

Si proche, puisque l 'apparition d 'un nouvel equilibre mondial devrait frayer la voie A la reconversion d'une partie des industries d'armement, puisque au Moyen Orient reverdissent des rameaux que l'on pouvait croire A jamais brules, puisque 1 'Organisation des Nations Unies se voi t reconnai tre dans le maintien, mais aussi dans la construction de la paix un r6le a la mesure des objectifs de sa Charte.

Oui, la paix passe aujourd 'hui par la conscience d 'un destin commun, par !'acceptation d'un avenir pluriculturel, par la pratique de la tolerance et de la solidari te, par la lutte contre les pauvretes, par le partage. C'est ce chemin de la paix dans les esprits que I 'UNESCO a pour mission de preparer. Mais elle ne peut y parvenir A elle seule. Pour une telle communaute de fins, metons en commun nos moyens : organisations internationales gouvernemantales et non gouvernementales, organismes regionaux, administrations et associations nationales, mouvements et groupements locaux, toutes les composantes de la societe civile mondiale doivent fonder ensemble la culture de la paix.

Federico Mayor

Message de Madame Danielle MITTERRAND Presidente de France-Libertes

Agir pour la paix, pour beaucoup d'O.N.G, cela revient A colmater les fissures d'un edifice en cours d'effondrement.

Ayons le courage de reconnaitre que les deux grandes puissances qui ont tenu le monde en equilibre sont en fin de demonstration. L'alternative est dejA en marche.

Pour en accompagner le processus, il est necessaire aujourd 'hui d' aider les populations A survivre et trouver la force necessaire en elles pour construire le 21eme siecle.

Ces nouvelles generations pourront sauvegarder la paix parce qu'elles auront la possibilite, les moyens et la chance, de communiquer par tous les modes d'expression les plus valorisants et les technologies les plus avancees.

Elles poursuivront ainsi la mission de ceux et celles de ma generation qui ont eu le grand dessein, apres la deuxieme guerre mondiale, de construire l'Europe -espace de paix -.

Car 1 'Europe devra etre 1' "Exemple" que tous les jeunes europeens seront fiers de revendiquer, au meme titre qu'apres la Revolution et ses dures batailles, les fran~ais ont pris l'identite d'une terre de liberte et des Droits de l'Homme.

C'est une croisade pour la paix aussi que de vouloir soutenir toutes les initiatives pour le recul de la mis~re. La d~arche la plus sure est certainement !'education A la citoyennete, au respect d'autrui, au partage de la solidarite.

Dans ce domaine, les O.N.G ont un grand role A jouer parce qu'elles exercent une vigilance sans pareil pour denoncer les abus, les oppressions et les exploitations de !'Homme par l'Homme.

Depuis la Conference des Nations uni es sur l'environnement et le developpement, le plan d'action "Action 21" - adopte par 178 gouvernements - donne une orientation concrete aussi bien aux efforts nationaux qu'au travail du systeme des Nations Unies dans ce domaine. L'action de tous est necessaire pour faire face au defi du developpement durable. Les Assises pour la Paix marquent un pas important dans ce sens, et l'UNESCO se rejouit de cette initiative.

Je souhaite plein succes a vos deliberations et suivrai avec interet les suites qui seraient eventuellement donnees aces Assises.

Message de France BEYDON Pasteur

Ne pouvant participer A votre journ6e et A voa carrefours je tiens A vous dire que je suia de coeur avec vous qui combattez pour la paix et en consequence contra la violence des armes.

Je sais qu' il n 'est pas necessaire d '~tre chretien pour partager le combat contre de pretendues fa tali tes qui tiendraient A la "nature" humaine ou aux n6cessit6s economiques "incontournables".

C' est cependant man metier - et ma vocation - de pasteur, qui m' a f ai t prendre conscience de !'incoherence qu'il ya A souhaiter la paix entre les hommes et A ne pas lutter concretement contre ce qui mene A la guerre. Il m'est ainsi apparu impossible de prier par exemple pour nos freres polynesiens de Mururoa sans inviter mes "ouailles" A signer librement 1 - une petition pour soutenir leur demande de moratoire.

Sans pretendre A des competences techniques qui ne sont pas les miennes, il me semble que nous devons presser nos elus de travailler activement A rechercher les moyens concrets de reconvertir petit a peti t nos industries d' armements et d '6tablir notre assiette financiere nationale sur d'autres bases que les revenus du commerce d'armes de mort.

Le chemin, certes reste long et difficile. Nous serons taxes d'irrealisme, et d'utopie. Je veux marcher avec une utopie a l 'horizon ; c;a n 'empeche pas d'avoir les pieds sur terre et c;a permet d'aller plus loin.

Fraternellement.

Pasteur France BEYDON

D~s 1985, le P~re Joseph WRESINSKI, Fondateur du M0UVEMENT ATD QUART M0NDE, Disait au B.I.T A Gen~ve, devant 1000 jeunes delegues du Quart Monde:

Tous les j eunes du quart Monde aspirent a devenir capables d'entente, de comprehension, d'amitie, de paix. Pour nous, jeunes du Quart Monde, c' est encore plus vrai, car nous nous somrnes jure de nous mettre ensemble pour detruire l' injustice, pour rappeler a tous que le temps de la paix et de la justice est la, qu'il est commence.

Nous savons que vivre rejetes dans les slums, cites pourries, sous des cartons, ne peut conduire nos familles a vivre dans la paix.

Nous savons qu'etre accule a mendier son pain, etre reduit aux travaux mal payes, non declares, ne peut conduire les hommes a la dignite, ni a vivre dans la paix et l'amitie avec les autres, ni meme avec les siens.

Lajeunesse du Quart Monde sait ce dont elle parle, quand elle appelle a la fraternite, a l'amitie, a la justice et a la paix. Notre seule arme sera notre amour de 1 'humani te, notre passion de justice et de paix.

Car la paix, c'est la connaissance et le partage du savoir. La paix, c'est aussi l'amitie, la solidarite vraie avec ceux qui souffrent le plus, qui n'en peuvent plus de misere. La paix, c'est de pouvoir vivre en famille, y apprendre la solidarite, la fraternite, l'amour.

Avec cette paix la, nous entrons de plain-pied dans la grande marche de 1 'humani te. Nous ne laisserons pas mourir la terre mais au contraire batirons la terre de demain.

Et cette terre que nous habitons, nous la voulons sans frontieres. Sans frontieres sociales ni cul turelles, ethniques ni religieuses. Nous voulons repondre a la vraie question de 1 'humani te "Comment pourrons-nous vivre en paix sur cette terre avec notre prochain ?"

Ce sera le temps d'une nouvelle justice.

Tousles jeunes, tous les hommes ont besoin et ont le droit de tirer leur digni te de leur travail. S' il est vrai que les frontieres fai tes par les hommes empechent la terre de f ournir du travail a tous, d'etablir la paix entre tousles hommes, de repenser la veri te, de vivre la liberte, de nous liberer par 1 'oppression et de 1 'exploitation, alors que les frontieres disparaissent pour que les mains d' aucun homme ne se sentent plus inutiles pour faire fructifier la terre !

' . MESSAGE DE Mr ROBERT VERDIER Pr~sident de la Commission Questions Internationale■ LA LIGUE DES DROITS DE L'HOMME Vice-Pr~sident de la FIDH

Chers Amis,

Nous avons bien re9u votre invitation a la rencontre organisee le 7 novembre 1993 par l'Appel des Cent.

Nous vous en rernercions.

Il ne nous est rnalheureusernent pas possible de nous y faire representer.

Nous tenons du mains a vous adresser un bref message pour vous dire combien nous apprecions le choix des themes mis en discussion.

Comme vous, nous estimons que les donnees presentes de la situation internationale doivent encourager toutes les organisations qui se sont donnees pour objectif de contribuer a la consolidation de la paix entre les nations.

D'une part, les evenements survenus ces dernieres annees en Europe, la detente entre l'Est et l'Ouest, ont donne l'occasion et la possibilite a l'ONU d'intervenir efficacement pour mettre fin a un certain nombre de conflits et exercer par l'intermediaire de representants un controle de ! ' application du processus de retablissement de la paix.

D'autre part, comrne vous le soulignez au debut de votre appel, la reconnaissance mutuelle de l'Etat d'Isra~l et de l'OLP a ouvert la voie au reglement pacifique d'un des plus douloureux et des plus redoutables conflits de notre temps.

Les conjonctures aussi favorables Aune action pour l'etablissement de relations pacifiques entre les nations et pour !'interruption de la course aux armernents sont rares et le plus souvent ephemeres. Il importe de ne pas laisser passer de telles occasions.

C'est dans cet esprit que nous exprimons notre sympathie a votre entreprise.

Chiffonniere avec /es chiffonniers

« 11 ya de cela plusieurs annees, Sreur Emmanuelle s'est adressee a moi en me demandant

d'intervenir pour resoudre un probleme qui se posait a elle. J'ai, bien evidemment, fait tout ce que j'ai

pu pour l'aider, tant son reuvre au service des desherites du Caire est exemplaire et tout simplement

admirable.

En partageant ainsi, pendant vingt ans, la vie quotidienne des laisses-pour-compte des

bidonvilles, en encourageant le developpement d'activites economiques susceptibles d'ameliorer les

conditions de vie des familles, en insistant aupres de ces demieres pour que les enfants soient

scolarises, elle leur a apporte le reconfort et les a remis sur le chemin de l'espoir. Dans son action au

service des pauvres, elle a fait preuve d'abnegation, d'humilite, de courage. Loin de se laisser

· decourager par l'immensite des problemes auxquels sont confrontes les bidonvilles du Caire, elle a

manifeste une imagination et une obstination remarquables pour, avec Jes moyens du bord, ameliorer

le sort des uns et des autres.

Sceur Emmanuelle n' etablit pas de distinction entre Jes catholiques, Jes coptes, les musulmans.

Ce qui compte pour elle, c'est de faire le bien pour le bien. La religion des individus n'entre pas en

ligne de compte pour son action. Pour Sreur Emmanuelle, avant d'etre musulmans, coptes ou catho­

liques, les individus auxquels elle apporte son soutien sont d'abord des hommes et des femmes qui

ont besoin d'etre aides et respectes dans leur <lignite d' etres humains.

L'action de Sreur Emmanuelle est authentiquement recumenique. Elle transcende Jes religions.

Aune epoque ou tant d'individus s'affrontent au nom de leur Dieu respectif, l'ceuvre de Sceur

Emmanuelle est un vrai message d'amour, d'espoir, de paix. »

_,, SCEUR EMMANUELU

Nee le 16 novembre 1908, Madeleine Cinquin, Sreur Emmanuelle, prononce ses Vreux de religieuse

le 10 mai 1931 , a Notre-Dame de Sion.

De 1931 a 1965, institutrice puis enseignante en lettres en Turquie et en Tunisie, elle eprouve a Alexandrie un veritable coup de foudre pour l'Egypte.

Professeur de Philosophie, elle tente de sensibiliser les eleves aux problemes du peuple.

En 1970, Sreur Emmanuelle decide de rester a la leproserie d' Abou Zaabal, zone militaire qu'elle est

obligee de quitter rapidement. Le Nonce Apostolique lui propose alors de s'installer chez les

chiffonniers du Caire. Ce qu' elle fait des le debut 1971.

1974: achat du premier terrain et 1975: obtention du permis de construire du Centre Salam. Et en

19 7 6 : pose de la premiere pierre.

En 1977, elle publie son premier Iivre Chiffonniere avec Jes chiffonniers.

En avril 1979, elle rencontre Sreur Sara.

Cette meme annee sont ouverts Jes batiments du Centre Salam : le dispensaire, les ateliers

professionnel et de couture, le club social, le jardin d' enfants et la matemite ...

En l 9~P, le Centre Salam est inaugure par Jebane Sadate. C' est en 1980 egalement qu' est creee

I 'Association des Amis de Sreur Emmanuelle.

En 1982, Sreur Emmanuelle s'installe au bidonville de Mokattam, ou sont construits ecole,

dispensaire, jardins d'enfants et maisons, et s'occupe de l'achat d'une maison de vacances au bord de

la mer pour les chiffonniers.

En 1985, elle rejoint le bidonville de Meadi, puis se rend en aout a Khartoum.

En 1987, Sreur Emmanuelle inaugure enjanvier l'usine de compost au Mokattam avant de partir en

novembre pour Beyroutb.

En 1991, elle fete avec Jes chiffonniers ses "N oces de Diamant" de vie religieuse.

Enfin, en 1993, sur la demande de ses superieures, Sreur Emmanuelle quitte definitivement l'Egypte

et rejoint ses sreurs en France pour prendre sa retraite.

suis soutenue et que c 'est une grande chance. Je veux que mes parrains, qui

m'encouragent a deventr quelqu'un, sotent fters de mot. "

Maribel, ecoltere de btdonville

Devenir P ARRAIN, c' est aider un enfant a grandir, lui assurer une scolarite, lui donner un metier,

sauver sa generation.

Parrainer, c' est, par notre intermediaire, financer la scolarite d'un enfant, issu d'une famille tres

defavorisee sur le plan financier ou psychologiquement affaiblie.

Parrainer, c'est participer a son inscription, a l'achat de fournitures scolaires, au transport, en un

mot, assurer sa formation, sa qualification, lui permettre de participer au developpement economique

de son pays.

VOTRE FILLEUL

Issu d'une famille nombreuse, souvent deplacee, il habite une maison delabree, sans confort, a la

limite de l'insalubrite. Ses parents, sans formation, sans emploi regulier, et en grande difficulte,

parviennent tout juste a nourrir la famille une fois par jour. Le travail des enfants, avant ou apres

l'ecole, souvent dans les ordures, apporte le complement indispensable a la survie familiale.

LE PARRAINAGE

Tout parrainage s 'accompagne d'un engagement moral a soutenir son filleul durant

la scolarite .

La somme que vous confiez pour votre filleul est integralement versee al' Association qui s' occupe du

suivi des familles.

L'Association infonnera le parrain par l'intennediaire du journal, de !'evolution du projet

Noel 1993 : La Creche de Venise met en scene l'histoire de la Serenissime sur plus d'un millenaire.

18 metres de long, 5 metres de profondeur, plus de 4 metres de haut, des plateaux tournants, 250 personnages, 20 automates. Des gondoles se deplacent sur la lagune , des anges s'envolent vers le ciel. .. Jamais une creche n'aura mobilise tant de talent ... Un veritable theatre venitien !

Le camaval et la Commeclia clell'arte, la place Saint-Marc, le Rialto , la ville bourgeoise du xvue, la Sainte Famille conduite par des anges aux visages de gondoliers . .. Venise va, bouge, court, galope, fremit.

Secluit par ce projet fou, Marcello Mastroianni a mis son exceptionnel talent au service du texte magistral d 'Alvise Zorzi , grand ecrivain italien specialiste de Venise.

Deux expositions, Les Artisans venitiens : masques, verre souffle, papier mache, dentelles. Les coulisses de la Creche : technique traditionnelle du papier mache, sculptures, machinerie ... completent la celebration de la Nativite, grace au talent du photographe Fulvio Roiter.

Noel 1993 : A l'initiative de Jacques Chirac, maire de Paris, les benefices de la creche de !'Hotel de Ville sont traditionnellement remis a une a'.uvre caritative. Sur proposition de Fran~oise de Panafieu, adjoint au maire, chargee de la Culture , !es benefices de cette annee sont destines a une action de Sreur Emmanuelle.

Par !'amour qu'elle leur donne, le respect qu'elle leur porte, Soeur Emmanuelle permet a ces exclus de developper leur inte lligence, leurs talents et de garder toujours en eux-meme, malgre leur marginalite, la fierte d'etre des hommes. Son parcours, son experience pedagogique, son oecumenisme Jui permettent de monter un programme d'Education et de Sante en faveur des femmes et des enfants. Son charisme, sa volonte, son dynamisme ont draine des solidarites humaines et materielles a travers le monde. De ces solidarites sont nees, en Europe, ses Associations et sur le terrain des realisations individuelles ou en partenariat.

ASMAE Les Amis de Soeur Emmanuelle sont presents clans !es quartiers pauvres a la peripherie des grandes villes du Tiers-Monde.

L'ECOLE PREPARATOIRE D'EZBET-EL-NAKHL

Les benefices de la Creche, offerts par la Mairie de Paris, seront affectes a la construction de l'ecole preparatoire de ce bidonville, pres du Caire.

Pourquoi? En J 980, Smur Emmanuelle se bat pour convaincre les meres d'inscrire leurs enfants a l'ecole. Depuis les choses ont bien change; ecoutez : Apres le Jardin d'enfants, les enfants suivent les cours de l'ecole primaire. Pour des raisons flnancieres, Smur Emmanuelle pensait en rester la ... Mais les petites chi.[fonnieres en ont decide autrement .... Prises de panique a l'idee d'abandonner l'ecole, de retourner aux ordures et d'etre mariees de force, elles boycottent l'epreuve eliminatoire de fin d'annee pour redoubler et attendre la creation de l'ecole preparatoire.

Devant une telle determination, comment resister ? Impossible !

Pour assurer une scolarite suivie, !'Association a fail appel a des parrains qui, par leur soutien, permettent aux families d'assumer tous !es frais lies a la scolarite de leurs enfants (inscription, fournitures scolaires, transport) .

Parrainer, c'est, par notre intermediaire, financer la scolarite d'un enfant, issu d'une famille tres defavorisee sur le plan financier ou psychologiquement affaiblie.

Parrainer, c'est participer a l'inscription, a l'achat de fournitures scolaires, au transport, en un mot assurer sa formation, sa qualification, lui permettre de participer au developpement economique de son pays.

To be delivered by ~ mb~a- ss- aclor Joseph Venier-Reeil

Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Public Affairs

I am sorry that other commitments prevent me from joining you

in person this evening.

In a world of strife and conflict, the Alvin Ailey American

Dance Theater has, for thirty-five years, taken its message of peace

to the four corners of the globe, from Saigon to Norway, from

Argentina to Senegal.

My wife and I still have fond memories of Judith's performance

with her umbrella under the pyramids of Giza. We hope the

company will return to Egypt in the very near future.

I am sure that I am speaking on behalf of all of the 68 nations

of the world in which the company has performed, in sending this

message of congratulations and encouragement to the Ailey

Company. It is our fervent hope that the Company will, for many

years to come, continue to perform its greatest mission, that of

uniting all peoples in peace.

Dear Ms. Issa,

I am writing to you on behalf of Madame Leia Boutros-Ghali following your invitation to her to become a member of the Executive Committee of Africa 95.

Madame Boutros-Ghali regrets that she is unable to accept your kind invitation. This is because both she and the Secretary-General do not, as a matter of policy, lend their names to bodies or activities outside the framework of the United Nations.

Madame Boutros-Ghali has asked me to say that she fully supports the aims and objectives of Africa 95, and wishes you every success.

Carl-August Fleischhauer Under-Secretary-General for Legal Affairs The Legal Counsel

Invitation for Mrs. Leia Boutros-Ghali to become a member of the Executive Council of Africa 95

1. This is in response to your routing slip of 19 October 1993, seeking our advice on the invitation to Mrs. Boutros-Ghali to become a member of the Executive Council of Africa 95.

2. From the document outlining the structure of Africa 95 and its envisaged programmme of events, we note that Africa 95 is a non-profit making company applying for charitable status, presumably in the UK, and that its Executive Council includes a Fundraising Committee which is to seek adequate funding for the programme of events of Africa 95. We further note that such funding is being sought from various sources, including from individual and corporate sponsors and that it is envisaged that Africa 95 will conclude partnerships with major media organizations to give to its events and to the sponsors thereof maximum exposure.

3. In light of the foregoing, we consider that the envisaged fund raising and promotional activities of the Executive Council of Africa 95 mi ht ive rise to legal and financial dis utes concerning, for example, the use or misuse of funds donated by sponsors or contributed by donors- to help organize and promote the programme of events of Africa 95. If this were to happen, the involvement of Mrs. Boutros-Ghali through her membership in the Executive council of Africa 95 might be embarrassing for the Secretary-General and the Organization. -

4. For the reasons expressed above, it is our view that Mrs. Boutros-Ghali should not acce t the invitation to become a member of the Executive Council of Africa 95. We would see no ob'ection however, to Mrs. Boutros-Ghali accepting the invitation by the President an Vice-President of Africa 95 that she~ tend a dinner in London for the purpose of meeting members of Africa 95.
