  • WCCI 17Th World Conference Speakers
    About the Speakers Federico Mayor Zaragoza was born in Barcelona in 1934. He holds a Ph.D. in Pharmacy from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid (1958). In 1963, he became a Professor of Biochemistry at the Facultad de Farmacia of the Universidad de Granada. In 1968, he became Rector of that institution, a job he held until 1972. The following year, he was named Professor in his specialty at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. In these years it started up the National Plan of Prevention of Mental Handicap, to avoid, by means of F. M. Zaragoza precocious diagnosis, diseases that can evolve with serious mental deterioration. During his 12 years as head of UNESCO (1987–1999) Federico Mayor Zaragoza gave new life to the organization's mission to "build a bastion of peace in the minds of all people", putting the institution at the service of peace, tolerance, human rights and peaceful coexistence, working within the scope of its powers and remaining faithful to its original goals. Under Mayor's guidance, UNESCO created the Culture of Peace Programme, whose objectives revolve around four main themes: education for peace; human rights and democracy; the fight against isolation and poverty; the defense of cultural diversity and intercultural dialogue; and conflict prevention and the consolidation of peace. On 10 November 1998, the UN General Assembly declared the years 2001–2010, International Decade for the Promotion of a Culture of Peace and Non-Violence for the Children of the World and, on 13 September 1999, it adopted the Declaration and Programme of Action on a Culture of Peace, which embodies Mayor's greatest aspirations from both a conceptual and practical standpoint.

  • Evolution of ASEAN Community Building: 50-Year Journey
    Evolution of ASEAN Community Building: 50-Year Journey Hun Sen It is my great honour to be invited to contribute to write for the first volume of the commemorative publication ASEAN@ Retrospectives and Perspectives on the Making Substance Significance and Future of ASEAN. Undoubtedly, this 50th commemorative anniversary marks one of the greatest milestones in the history of our ASEAN Community. Since its establishment in 1967, ASEAN has achieved a magnificent transformation of the region – now safer, wealthier, unified, and stronger than ever before. ASEAN today has many friends, a much heavier weight internationally, and a strong voice that cannot be easily ignored. Over the years, ASEAN has been playing a role in the regional political and economic architecture by leading and driving various forms of dialogues, forums, and meetings to accommodate multiple dialogues with global and regional powers. 47 While maintaining regional peace and security, ASEAN also enhanced its image in the international community and strengthened its cohesion and unity. Notwithstanding these important positive regional developments, the security and peace of the ASEAN region are now threatened not only by traditional security issues but also by much more unpredictable and disruptive threats such as terrorism, transnational crimes, human and drug trafficking, and global warming (increasing the frequency and severity of natural disasters), which are more difficult to address in both the short and medium terms. Nonetheless, the cooperation between the ASEAN Member States and their Dialogue Partners has been elevated in all areas – politically, economically, diplomatically, and socially. These growing interactions and cooperative arrangements have become a source of regional stability and security, creating an environment that will bring the region to a higher level of prosperity and well-being.
