WILLY BRANDT Die Nobelpreiskampagne Für Carl Von
WILLY BRANDT Die Nobelpreiskampagne für Carl von Ossietzky Der Träger des Nobel-Friedenspreises von 1935 hat die ihm im November '36 zuerkannte Auszeichnung nur um knappe anderthalb Jahre überlebt. Daß sein Name weiterlebt, davon zeugen die Erinnerungen an seinen Tod vor nunmehr fünfzig Jahren, Anfang Mai '38. Daß die Erinnerung an ihn und auch an die mit seinem Namen verbundene Kampagne wachgehalten wird, erscheint mir wichtig - über den Tag hinaus. Der Universität Oldenburg möchte ich Dank sagen, nicht nur für die Einladung und für die Veranstaltungen dieser Tage, sondern auch dafür, daß sie ein Symbol des Widerstandes gegen die Gewaltherrschaft zu ihrem eigenen gemacht hat. Ich habe schon bei früherer Gelegenheit von der "Friedenspreiskampagne gegen Hitler" gesprochen und bin nun gebeten worden, die Kampagne als "ein Zeichen inter- nationaler Verbundenheit mit dem anderen Deutschland" zu würdigen. Dies tue ich schon deshalb gern, weil es mir Gele- genheit gibt, an Worte anzuknüpfen, die Teil meiner Nobel- preis-Rede vom Dezember 1971 waren. Die Ehrung Ossietz- kys fünfunddreißig Jahre zuvor, sagte ich damals, sei ein Sieg über die Barbarei gewesen. Deshalb liege mir daran, "dem Nobelkomitee im Namen eines freien Deutschland dafür in aller Form einen späten Dank auszusprechen." Gleichzeitig grüßte ich damals, wie ich es auch heute tue, "die ehemalige Résistance in allen Ländern" und verband damit ein Wort der Ermutigung für all diejenigen, "die sich um - 6 - WILLY BRANDT _________________________________________________ Menschen kümmern, die wegen ihrer Überzeugung gefangen- gehalten oder auf andere Weise verfolgt werden." Es gibt in der Tat - historisch wie aktuell - gute Gründe, jenen geistreichen und furchtlosen Schriftsteller vor dem Vergessen zu bewahren, den Martin Greiffenhagen "Dreyfus und Zola in einer Person" genannt hat - mit dem bitteren Zusatz, ein Nationalheld sei "unser Zola" nicht geworden. -

We specifcally take a look at the more political move- ments, such as those linked to anarchism (First International) or to the main leader of the Spartacus League, Rosa Luxemburg, the anti-draft groups and the pioneering work in the academic world of Albert Fried, one of the creators of the epistemic com- munity that is behind the most radical perspectives of international relations and pe- ace research. In addition, Joan Botam, a priest and ecumenist, refects on the legacy of the Great War and opposition to it among the various peace movements inspired by religious beliefs. -
Norwegisches Nobel-Institut Drammensveien 19 N-0255 Oslo Norwegen
To the Nobel Prize committee Norwegisches Nobel-Institut Drammensveien 19 N-0255 Oslo Norwegen Nobel Peace Prize for IAEA was the wrong decision Dear Sir or Madam, the Nobel Peace Prize committee has made an important contribution to peace through the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize since the year 1901. Organisations such as the "International Peace Bureau", “Amnesty International“, the “International Committee of the Red Cross“ or the “United Nations Children’s Fund”, and people like Henri Dunant, Carl von Ossietzky, Albert Schweitzer, Desmond Tutu or Nelson Mandela have all truly deserved the Nobel Peace Prize. But again and again there were also controversial and mistaken decisions. For example, we remember the Nobel Peace Prize for Henry Kissinger. We consider your decision to give the Nobel Prize to the IAEA this year as a wrong decision, which devaluates the Nobel Peace Prize. We want to explain shortly why we feel this: At its foundation, the aim of the IAEA was defined in the following way : “The Agency shall seek to accelerate and enlarge the contribution of atomic energy to pe- ace, health and prosperity throughout the world. It shall ensure, so far as it is able , that assistance provided by it or at its request or under its supervision or control is not used in such a way as to further any military purpose.“ But the construction of nuclear power stations, the production of plutonium (and other substances that can be used for the building of nuclear weapons) in nuclear power stations, and devices for the enrichment of uranium had the result that many more countries were able to acquire nuclear weapons. -

The Politics of UNESCO's International Jazz
FORUM FOR INTER-AMERICAN RESEARCH (FIAR) VOL. 12.2 (OCT. 2019) 5-14 ISSN: 1867-1519 © forum for inter-american research “Jazz Embodies Human Rights”: The Politics of UNESCO’s International Jazz Day MARIO DUNKEL (CARL VON OSSIETZKY UNIVERSITY OF OLDENBURG, OLDENBURG) Abstract This article explores the representation of jazz at UNESCO’s International Jazz Day, focusing in particular on the 2016 edition of the event hosted by former President Barack Obama at the White House. It locates Jazz Day in the history of US jazz diplomacy, demonstrating that the event results from strategies of the US government that emerged in the 1950s and sought to use jazz as an emblem of an American social order that was ethically superior to the Soviet Union. While Jazz Day – in the tradition of US jazz diplomacy programs – casts jazz as an embodiment of intercultural dialogue, diversity, and human rights, this article seeks to juxtapose this rhetoric with the event’s economics and politics. It argues that Jazz Day’s messages of diversity, intercultural dialogue, universal human rights, and peace, in their one-dimensional and non-intersectional form, ultimately serve to obfuscate the economic and political power interests that underlie the event. Contrary to its rhetoric, Jazz Day has so far failed to challenge the power structures that lie at the heart of a socially unequal global order built on the denial of basic human rights. Keywords: UNESCO, International Jazz Day, Politics, Jazz, Diplomacy, International Relations Introduction But jazz is also about diversity, drawing on roots in Africa, the Caribbean, Europe, and Celebrating the fifth edition of UNESCO’s elsewhere. -
The International Peace Movement 1815-1914: an Outline
The international peace movement 1815-1914: an outline Script of an online lecture given by Guido Grünewald on 9 June 2020* I will try to give an outline of the emergence and development of an international peace movement during its first 100 years. Since English is not my mother tongue and I haven’t spoken it for a longer time I will follow a written guideline in order to finish the job in the short time I have. The first peace organisations emerged in America and in Britain. This was no coincidence; while on the European continent after the end of the Napoleonic Wars restoration took over there were evolving democracies in the anglo-Saxon countries and a kind of peace tradition as for example carried by the quakers who renounced any kind of war. For those early societies the question if a war could be defensive and therefore justified was from the beginning a thorny issue. The New York Peace Sciety founded by merchant David Low Dodge followed a fundamental pacifism rejecting all kind of wars while the Massachussets Peace Society (its founder was unitarian minister Noah Worcester) gathered both fundamental pacifists and those who accepted strictly defensive wars. With about 50 other groups both organisations merged to become the American Peace Society in 1828. The London Peace Society had an interesting top-tier approach: its leadership had to pursue a fundamental pacifist course while ordinary members were allowed to have different ideas about defensive wars. On the European continent some short-lived peace organisations emerged only later. The formation of those first societies occured under the influence of Quakers (one of the 3 historic peace churches which renounced violence) and of Christians who were convinced that war was murderous and incompatible with Christian values. -
Speech by Federal President Joachim Gauck to Introduce a Panel Discussion at the Nobel Institute on 11 June 2014 in Oslo
Translation of advance text The speech on the internet: www.bundespraesident.de Berlin, 11 June 2014 Page 1 of 4 Speech by Federal President Joachim Gauck to introduce a panel discussion at the Nobel Institute on 11 June 2014 in Oslo At the end of 1969 there were rumours going around in Germany that Norway had had quite an unexpected Christmas present that year. On Christmas Eve, large oil and gas deposits had been discovered off the coast of Norway. Since that day, we continental Europeans have got to know, and value, a new side to the Norwegians. Not only did we get to know you as a reliable energy supplier and one of the most affluent countries in the world. We now also began to value Norway for the responsible manner in which it dealt with its newly won wealth. The revenues from the oil industry – the majority at least – were and are saved year after year and invested in the future, a future in which oil reserves one day will no longer be so abundant. Moreover, Norway with its new riches has by no means become self-satisfied, or “self-sufficient”. Isolationism has not become a Norwegian characteristic. The Norwegians have always cast their sights out onto the world. It is remarkable to note how many of the important explorers and pioneers of modern history came from Norway. Their names have a certain ring to them in Germany too: Roald Amundsen, Thor Heyerdahl and Fridtjof Nansen. And the fact that for more than one hundred years now, the most important prize in the world – the Nobel Peace Prize – is awarded here in Oslo is testament to Norway’s keen interest in global affairs. -

Japan Looking at the World Looking at Japan : European Expansion Into
Japan Looking at the World Looking at Japan European Expansion into East Asia, the Formation of the Japanese Concept and Perception of Colonial Rule as well as European Responses c. 19001 Harald Kleinschmidt, Tokyo An Interactionist Approach to the History of International Relations On 8 February 1868, the newly installed Meiji Government of Japan issued its proclamation nr 5. In this proclamation, it declared that it would honor the treaties that had been concluded between Japan and states in Europe and North America since 1854, but that it would also seek their revision in ac- cordance with ‘universal public law’ 宇内の公法 (udai no kōhō). On behalf of the government, Higashikuze Michitomi 東久世通禧, then in office as Director General Agency for Foreign Affairs 外国事務総督 (Gaikoku Jimu Sōtoku), communicated the contents of the proclamation to foreign diplo- matic envoys then accredited in Japan.2 The proclamation thus articulated the perception that there was a hierarchy of two legal frameworks that could be addressed for different, if not mutually exclusive purposes.

Die Nobelpreiskampagne Für Carl Von Ossietzky
Oldenburger Universitätsreden Nr. 20 Willy Brandt Die Nobelpreiskampagne für Carl von Ossietzky Mit den Briefen an Konrad Reisner und Hilde Walter Hrsg. von Wilhelm Büttemeyer Bibliotheks- und Informationssystem der Universität Oldenburg 1988 VORWORT Die jährlichen Ossietzky-Tage stellen einen Höhepunkt im inzwischen umfangreichen und vielfältigen Symposien- und Tagungsprogramm der Universität Oldenburg dar. Eine Auszeichnung besonderer Art erfuhren die Ossietzky- Tage 1988 durch die Mitwirkung von Altbundeskanzler und Nobel-Friedenspreisträger Willy Brandt. Allerdings war auch der Anlaß der Einladung an Willy Brandt, nach Oldenburg zu kommen, ein besonderer: die Universität gedachte des fünfzigsten Todestages Carl von Ossietzkys am 4. Mai 1988. Die Erinnerung an Carl von Ossietzky wachzuhalten, ist für die Oldenburger Hochschule stets verbunden mit dem Anliegen, aus einer schlimmen Vergangenheit zu lernen: Demokratie zu wagen und zu sichern durch eine menschli- chere Wissenschaft. Die Rede Willy Brandts zur Nobelpreiskampagne für Carl von Ossietzky wird ergänzt durch den Abdruck der Briefe, die Brandt an Konrad Reisner und Hilde Walter im Zusam- menhang mit der Nobelpreiskampagne schrieb. Wilhelm Büttemeyer hat diese zum größten Teil bisher unveröffent- lichten Briefe für den Druck vorbereitet. Oldenburg, 19. Mai 1988 Friedrich W.
