  • Words of Welcome by President Tomka
    THE ICJ IN THE SERVICE OF PEACE AND JUSTICE Words of welcome by President Tomka Excellencies, Dear Guests and friends, It is with great pleasure that I greet you this morning on behalf of the International Court of Justice on the occasion of the Conference organized by the Court to celebrate the centenary of the Peace Palace. We are particularly pleased to welcome such eminent guests on this occasion, and are similarly delighted that our invitation to this Conference has been met with a very positive response. As a result, we were able to bring together a roster of very distinguished speakers in today’s panels, for which we are very grateful. We are privileged to host this Conference in the recently renovated Great Hall of Justice, with its improved, modern working facilities. In many ways, this renovation and the centennial festivities not only provide a propitious moment to reflect upon the great past and history surrounding this Hall, the Palace and its occupants, but also they present us with the opportunity to look forward and embrace a future in which international peace, justice and modernity can work in concert. Thus, today we not only celebrate the Palace, but also the great advances that have been made inside its walls towards creating a safer and more peaceful world. In this regard, the Conference programme is equally rich as it is balanced in engaging the past and present of international justice, while also entertaining future prospects and challenges for the work of the Court and beyond. Thus, the past, present and future will very much be reflected in the various themes addressed today, be they “A Century of International Judiciary and Prospects for the Future”, “The International Court of Justice and the International Legal System”, “The Role of the International Court of Justice for Enhancing the Rule of Law”, and “The International Court of Justice and the United Nations: Relationship of the ICJ with other UN Organs”.

Have you followed dusky trails to catch That shifting, dappled light; The sun through weaving lacy green, A mystic acolyte? Have von gazed through arches high and far Like dim cathedral aisles, And sensed the dignity and peace Of trees, for miles and miles? Have you heard far through the waking woods A blue-jay's morning call: And pondered there in reverence The wonder of it all? Have you counted in the redwood trees A million lofty spires; Or bowed before the embers' glow Like sacrificial fires? If you have, you've caught the radiance. The fragrance, and the song.

Many annoying problems that have confronted us during the past twelve months have been met and con- quered, all due to the wonderful spirit of cooperation of the employes of the Transportation Department. Some of these problems have not been com- pletely eliminated, and are lying dormant, and it will take several months of untiring effort on the part of everyone to overcome these difficulties. But these problems, like all those in the past, will, I am sure, be satisfactorily handled because we know that the men in the platform service have never yet failed to give us full cooperation when they understood.

    UNITED NATIONS PEACEKEEPING NFHS POTENTIAL DEBATE TOPIC 2022-2023 July 1, 2021 Submitted by: Ryan Nierman Wylie E. Groves High School Beverly Hills, Michigan Ruth Kay Detroit Country Day School Beverly Hills, Michigan Background The United Nations (UN) was founded as an international organization in 1945. It is made up of 193 Member States. Over a 72-year period, more than 1 million individuals from 125 countries have served in 71 peacekeeping missions. As of 2021 there are approximately 90,000 peacekeepers in 12 operations around the world (UN 2021). The number one goal of UN Peacekeeping is to protect civilians. In addition to their main goal, the UN identifies a total of six objectives of their Peacekeeping operations: Protecting civilians, Preventing conflicts, Building Rule of Law and security institutions, Promoting human rights, Empowering women, and Delivery of field support. Of late, the UN has made a commitment to include more women in peacekeeping roles. Ultimately, the deployment of women as peacekeepers is up to the member states. But the UN has established a global effort to increase the role of women. According to the UN, “The 2028 target for women serving in military contingents is 15%, and 25% for military observers and staff officers. The 2028 target for women serving in formed police units is 20%, and 30% for individual police officers.” Main Organs The main organs of the United Nations (UN) are the General Assembly, Security Council, Economic and Social Council, Trusteeship Council, International Court of Justice, and the Secretariat. The General Assembly is the main organ of the United Nations.
