March 17, 1994 Friends, Enclosed Is Some of My Work on Behalf Of March 17, 1994 Friends, Enclosed is some of my work on behalf of shaping this vision for the upcoming United Nations 50th Anni- versary Celebration. I believe there is a need to weave these "threads" into a common vision, and the Philadelphia for World Peace and Dignity Campaign dem- onstrates for the world how one city comes together to "sound out for survival." It is based on a belief in people, and in our greatest resource . the human spirit. It was created to inspire the participation of all people, and to serve as an empowering model for other cities to follow. It is an on-going campaign and carries with it the seeds of new beginnings. I believe deeply that we stand at a moment in time that will not come again. We have what we need to make this happen. Lifting American Dignity is the goal. Sharing it with the world is the dream. For the youth of the world, "We Hold the Light" is just the begin- ning. But it is the first step, and it is towards hope and towards the future. Inspiring future peacekeepers of the world and mobilizing youth in a bold new spirit of peace and cooperation is the mission. The global youth concert enables young people to express in their own voices and dreams of peace. It empowers them to take positive action for change, and to come together in unity and purpose. In that spirit, I submit the enclosed recommended theme song for this World Peace and Dignity Campaign: "WE CAN DO IT," an empowering song to help lift and mobilize the youth of the world. With deep gratitude for the artist Zahm (and all that he has done to keep this dream alive), I thank God for his love and friend- ship. And for the song, that holds the very heart and soul of this campaign, I will be forever grateful. Sincerely, Barbara Bodine To: Mr. Michael Stupford Public Affairs Director, The United Nations cc: United Nations: Ambassador Borg-Olivier, Special Advisor for United Nations Humanitarian Affairs. Ambassador Edward J. Perkins, Former U.S. Representative to the United Nations. Mr. Jean Claude Faby, Director, P.C.S.D., The United Nations Department of Policy Coordination Mr. Tubman, United Nations Legal Affairs Dear Mr. Stupford, At the recommendation of Jon Duplain (Director, Washington Communications, W.N.E.T.), I am forwarding the concept I have developed for the first WORLD PEACE & DIGNITY DAY in honor of the U.N.'s 50th Anniversary and in special recognition of the unifying principles of peace, dignity and interdependence set forth at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development. At that time a group of Philadelphians came together to launch an Initiative for Global Interdependence and forwarded to Rio the enclosed video postcard that was played at The Global Forum Amphitheater in Flamingo Park. Since then efforts have focused on the ways in which we can bring these principles home. Enclosed is the concept titled "A Conspiracy of Hope" in which I developed the Rio Declarations into purposeful and profitable community initiatives. This includes the launch of The Dignity Work force and The Dignity Youth Corps, which represents the mobilization of grass-roots, governmental, private sector and corporate support. The broader idea is that in 1995, in honor of the U.N.'s 50th Anniversary, the United Nations launch The Interna- tional Work Force, equally dedicated to the "mobilization and harmonization of the economic and environmental goals" of Agenda 21. A model project for the Dignity International Work Force is the Gambian Immunization Project. (Note: Ambassador Borg-Olivier, Special Advisor to Humanitarian Affairs and Co-Chairman of the United Nations Global Health Conference, likes the idea and wants to help.) Other "self-help survival initiatives" (such as those for non-violence and community recovery) are equally relevant in developing nations in recovery and urban communities in recovery. "Beyond the block," the creation of The Dignity Work Force, also provides a new and much needed "vehicle of service" to country and humanity. Those who come forward to serve will represent "the emergence of a diverse and intergenerational group," committed to building a new community of nations, and of all people committed to global peace and survival. For other countries, The Dignity Work Force provides a self-help model of service, inspiring those who struggle for economic independence, but whose very survival is dependent on the survival of others and the recognition that globally and locally, we are all interdependent. In support of these ideas, I propose that Philadelphia become a "model launch city" for such an initiative. In 1995, in honor of the U.N.'s 50th Anniversary and in city-wide celebration and support for World Peace and Dignity, I propose that Philadelphia host THE FIRST UNITED NATIONS CONFERENCE FOR PEACE. (Note: The United Nations Charter calls for a General Conference for the 10th yearly session of the General Assembly. This was explored in 1985, but no further action was taken.) The proposed UN CONFERENCE FOR PEACE is recommended in respect to the Charter's founding princi- ples and guidelines, in recognition of the present need for "a new philosophy for peacemaking and peacekeeping" (see Ambassador Perkins' letter, attached), and in special honor of the principles set forth at The United Nations Earth Summit, specifically Princi- ple #25 of the Rio Declaration that states: *"Peace, development and environmental protection are interdependent and indivisible."* *While in Philadelphia addressing The Committee to Improve the Effectiveness of the U.N., Ambassador Perkins spoke of a "window in history," this critical time in which we stand before the future and realize that we shape now our destiny for peace with our convictions and our actions. The moment for world peace seems to have arrived, and yet their is a sense that we are unprepared and unready. In times of war, preparing for war is considered the first act of war. Readying for battle is the signal that the battle has begun. So it should be for peace. In readiness, and in that spirit, I have proposed The First World Peace & Dignity Day, a day that celebrates and declares peace, and I invite the United Nations to consider Philadelphia as the site for the first UNITED NATIONS CONFERENCE FOR PEACE, focusing on issues of human dignity, global interdependence, and the principles of peacekeeping. I hope that this effort would also bring together different factions of the United Nations and help to unify the original vision and mission of the UN. By working together all UN efforts are strengthened and empowered. In conclusion, the Honorable Angie Brooks, the first African woman to serve as President if the United Nations General Assembly, also spoke recently to a group gathered in Philadelphia in her honor. Calling for non-violence in her beloved country of Liberia, the exiled Ms. Brooks is a living symbol of world peace and dignity. I would hope that the UN's 50th Year Anniversary celebra- tion would honor remarkable peacekeepers such as Angie Brooks, and I would also recommend that she be an honorary chairperson for the proposed UNITED NATIONS CONFERENCE FOR PEACE. Like those that came before her (and those that will follow), she is a living symbol of peace and a light of hope. It is in her honor, and in honor of all peacekeepers of the world, that I submit this concept for the first World Peace & Dignity Day. Very sincerely, Barbara Bodine April 6, 1993 His Excellency Dawda Kairaba Jawara President, Republic of The Gambia Office of the President Statehouse Bonjul, Gambia Your Excellency: I am writing this letter in hopes that you will receive it before attending The Second African-American Summit in Gabon next month. I wanted you to be aware of an idea I am developing for an Immunization project that I have recommended to launch in Gambia (follow-up to a United Nations Conference that I attended last year that was organized by World Information Transfer, Inc. and titled, HEALTH AND THE ENVIRONMENT: "Global Partners for Global Solutions." This Conference brought together prominent experts in environ- mental health, government officials, U.N. agencies and representa- tives from industry. Their goal was to search for new ways and new principles to guide and to inspire all people of the world to protect our common environmental health and well-being. At a time of rapid industrialization and urbanization, the wellness of all people (and especially children) is at the most risk. I believe the time has arrived for all of us to take collaborative action and mutual responsibility to bring about appropriate changes in legislation and practices that will guarantee our mutual survival in the next century. As a guest at this Conference, I learned of the alarming rate of liver cancer, found to be present very early in life in the young people of Gambia. I learned also that it is believed "the Hepatitis B Virus" is a contributing factor. To protect the young people from developing liver cancer, scientists and doctors at this Conference recommended that all children receive a vaccine to prevent the Hepatitis B carrier. (Note: From the blood sample data, scientists reported that by the age of 3 years, 70% of all Gambian children are exposed to the Hepatitis B virus, a suspected factor in liver cancer. By the age of 15 years, 100% are affected. They reported that liver cancer represents 22.6% of all cancers found in Gambia. 39% of all these were found in young men of Gambia 25 to 29 years old. It is highly unusual that liver cancer be found at such a young age and it is increasing at an alarming rate under the ages of 20 and 30 years.

OVERVIEW During the debate, Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon, President of the General Assembly Mogens Lykketoft, representatives from 191 Member States and three observer delegations put forth their concerns, positions and priorities under the theme “The UN at 70: The Road Ahead for Peace, Security, and Human Rights.” The main topics during the General Debate included the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the refugee crisis in Europe, the threat of non-state terrorist like Daesh and Boko-Haram, and the conflict in Syria. Many states praised the adoption of the 2030 Agenda by the General Assembly and spoke hopefully about the potential of the Global Goals to end poverty, reduce gender inequality, protect against climate change, and promote human rights. 1 However, several states also voiced concern that the Agenda does not adequately account for differences between states in capacity and circumstance. By far the most prevalent topic at the debate was the conflict in Syria and the ensuing refugee crisis. There was a general consensus that the global community must act to end the Syrian conflict, although there was dissension as to what form this action should take.

  • 24 August 2005 Dear Dr. Brooks, Thank You for Your Kind Letter of 1
    THE SECRETARY-GENERAL 24 August 2005 Dear Dr. Brooks, Thank you for your kind letter of 1 August 2005. I am happy to know that you continue to have such a keen interest in the work of the United Nations, and greatly appreciate the support you have expressed for the Organization, and me personally. I can well understand your wish to visit the United Nations, but I regret that it will not be possible to extend an invitation to you and your family to attend the upcoming Summit in September. In view of the large number of Heads of State who will be in New York for the Summit, access to the United Nations complex has had to be restricted to official delegations of Member States and current United Nations staff. I would, however, be pleased to meet you should you wish to visit the United Nations at a mutually convenient time after the Summit. Please accept my best wishes as you prepare to return to Liberia, and thank you again for your continued support for the ideals of the United Nations. Yours sincerely, Kofi A. Annan Dr. Angie Brooks AUG 2 4 2005 Texas PS: """"" As far as I'm aware, there are no "ceremonial moments" which would warrant an invitation to Ms. Brooks as a former GA President.

  • Vice President's Remarks at Angie Brooks International Center, 7
    Remarks by H. E. Joseph N. Boakai, Vice President, Republic of Liberia At Program Marking One-Year Anniversary of the Launch of the Angie Brooks International Center for Women’s Empowerment, Leadership Development, International Peace and Security University of Liberia Campus at Fendell, Sunday, March 7, 2010 Excellencies; Workshop Facilitators and Participants; Distinguished Guests; Ladies and Gentlemen: As we did last year, and have done since the United Nations set aside this day more than thirty years ago, we join the world in commemorating International Women’s Day, being celebrated tomorrow, March 8 th . The international community set aside this day in recognition of women’s contributions to international peace and development. Women have made important strides, but much remains to be done to ensure that the female 50 percent of the population can reach their fullest potential and make the world better through their contributions. How time flies, Ladies and Gentlemen! It was an extraordinary happening that took place in Liberia exactly a year ago, when our country co-convened, with Finland, the International Colloquium on Women’s Empowerment, Leadership Development, International Peace and Security. The Colloquium witnessed one of the largest gatherings of women ever held in Africa. Over a thousand women – and a few men – convened near Monrovia to discuss and strategize on how to empower women to be more effective leaders by linking them with their peers from around the world, and sharing and implementing best practices on economic empowerment, influencing climate change and sustaining development. The outcomes were: The Monrovia Declaration and The Call for Action.

  • Angie Brooks Wisconsin Women Making History
    WISCONSIN THEIR STORIES WOMEN MAKING OUR LEGACY HISTORY www.womeninwisconsin.org ANGIE BROOKS 1928-2007 City: Madison County: Dane Angie Brooks is best known as the first African woman to serve as president of the United Nations General Assembly. Brooks was born in Liberia in 1928 and grew up there, but came to the U.S. as a young woman to pursue higher education. She graduated in 1949 from Shaw University in North Carolina with an undergraduate degree in social sciences, and then, in 1952, earned both a law degree and a master’s degree in political science from the University of Wisconsin. She also completed graduate work at the University College Law School of London, Liberia University, Shaw University, and Howard University. Brooks served as counsellor-at-law to the Supreme Court of Liberia; as assistant attorney general of Liberia; as vice president and later president of the International Federation of Women Lawyers; as a professor of law at Liberia University; and as vice president of the National Liberian Political and Social Movement. She was Liberia’s delegate to the United Nations General Assembly for many years, and was the first African woman — and second woman ever — to be elected president of the Assembly, where she presided over the 24th session (1969-1970). After her death in 2007, Brooks was praised by Liberia’s president for her courage, !determination, and commitment to service.
