Headquarters, Ne v1 York , N •Y • Your Excellency, Formal Opening of the Headquarters of the Nigerian Institute of International ~fairs We received, with great pleasure and joy, Your Excellency's message of good-will and encouragement, conveyed in your letter of 30th May, 1967, on the occasion of' the formal opening of ou1.. Headquarters building. You will be interested to know that it was Chief Adebo, Nigeri~'s Permanent Represen tative to the United Nations, who read out your message at the ceremony, which was witnessed by observers from all the continents. The signi­ ficance of your message to the Institute, and indeed to Nigeria, was stressed by His Excellency, the Head of the Federal Military Government, Major-General Yakubu Gowon, in his own speech on the auspicious occasion. On behalf of the Council and Trustees of the Institute and myself, I thank Your Excellency for the great honour you have thus co~erred on the Institute in particular, and on Nigeria as a whole. 2. As stated in one of the two key speeches (enclosed herewith fo~ your general information), the Nigerian Institute of Inter­ national .A:rfairs "ho.I>es to work simultaneously on three levels - as a Nigerian Institute in Lagos, an J~rican Institute in Nigeria and a world Institute in Africa- providing a meeting ground for peo,l>le of all nations and a rich soil for the cross-fertilization of their minds." In this regard, we feel greatly encoura~ed and challenged by the faith you h ave reposed in our Institute s ability to make, even in a small way, a more positive contribu­ tion to the work of the United Nations f amily of organizations and to the building of a better world order. 3. Once again, thank you for the messace of congratulations and good wishes. We take this opportunity to re-a:f:firm our pledge and loyalty to the Charter of the United Nations, its pur,l>oses and objectives.

Neumann Fridtjof Nansens Institutt, Norge Sammendrag Vi har omfattende forskningslitteraturer om hvordan norsk utenrikspoli- tikk på begynnelsen av 1900-årene kretset om fred, og om fremveksten og institusjonaliseringen av norsk freds- og forsoningsdiplomati fra midten av 1980-årene og til i dag. Vår kunnskap om den mellomliggende perioden og røttene til fredsdiplomatiet er mer mangelfull. Artikkelen sammenfatter det vi vet, og den presenterer en tidligere ukjent case fra 1966–1968, det såkalte Nobel-initiativet, der en gruppe norske borgere gikk sammen om å mobilisere nobelprisvinnere med sikte på å etablere en bakkanal for fredssamtaler mel- lom USA og Nord-Vietnam. Samfunnsinitiativet fikk helhjertet oppslutning fra den norske stat. Nobel-initiativet er dermed en forløper for det samarbeidet mellom stat og samfunn som skulle prege norsk freds- og forsoningsdiplomati. Gitt at vi også finner løse forelegg for freds- og forsoningsdiplomati i 1920- årene, gjør kunnskapen om Nobel-initiativet det mulig å påstå at vi gjennom det siste hundreåret konsistent finner norsk freds- og foroningsdiplomati i den utstrekning og den form som de internasjonale forholdene tillater.

Dice el Dr. José Narro Robles, rector de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, en su Plan de Trabajo 2011-2015 Por fortuna la comunidad universitaria no vive sólo de su pasado relevante. Por el contrario, su compromiso es con el futuro. Nuestro mayor interés tiene que ver con los jóvenes y con los niños, con los que ahora estudian e incluso con las generaciones que todavía no nacen. Muchos de nosotros compartimos la preocupación por lo que les vamos a dejar para hacer frente al futuro, a los próximos desafíos.
