INCORE Annual Report 2004 3 Tip O Neill Chair

John Hume - Tip O’Neill Chair in Peace Studies Nobel Laureate Professor John Hume is the current holder of the Tip O’Neill Chair in Peace Studies, currently funded by The Ireland Funds. The Chair was inaugurated by then-US President Clinton during his visit to Northern Ireland in November 1995. Professor Hume took up post in 2003, and has used his tenure to promote peace-building locally and internationally, and provide a focal point for policymakers, practitioners, researchers and academics all over the world.

2004 Peace Lectures: Global figures talk peace The 2004 Peace Lecture series culminated with the United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan telling an audience at the University of Ulster that the Northern Ireland peace process remains an inspiration to peace-makers around the world.

As Tip O’Neill Chair, John Hume has brought major international policymakers to Northern Ireland to discuss peace and conflict issues in the world today.

In 2004, these included: • Bertie Ahern - An Taoiseach as President of the European Council • Professor Romano Prodi - President of the European Commission • Pat Cox - President of the European Parliament • Hillary Rodham Clinton - US Senator for New York • Kofi Annan - United Nations Secretary-General

As President of the European Parliament, Pat Cox spoke just days before the European Union undertook its biggest-ever intake of new states, with 10 new members joining the EU on May 1 2004. Romano Prodi and Bertie Ahern came to the Magee Campus of the University of Ulster in the weeks leading up enlargement. These three speeches were marked by a wide-ranging look at conflict resolution in Europe, and the role of the EU in contemporary peace-building worldwide

Kofi Annan and Hillary Rodham Clinton spoke from a global perspective. The Secretary-General outlined the role of the UN in peace-building since it was founded, looking at a variety of successes and failures, as well as describing how the UN functions in today’s international system. Senator Clinton spoke of peace as a strategic necessity in today’s world, given phenomena such as nuclear proliferation, state failure and various forms of terrorism.
