    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Ashley Berke Senior Public Relations Manager 215.409.6693 [email protected] MIKHAIL GORBACHEV TO RECEIVE 2008 LIBERTY MEDAL AT THE NATIONAL CONSTITUTION CENTER Award to be presented by President George H.W. Bush Philadelphia, PA – The National Constitution Center’s 2008 Liberty Medal will be awarded to former Soviet leader and Nobel Peace Prize winner Mikhail Gorbachev for his courageous role in ending the dangerous, decades-long Cold War and in giving hope and freedom to millions who lived behind the Iron Curtain. The public Liberty Medal ceremony will take place on Thursday, September 18, 2008, at the National Constitution Center on Independence Mall in Historic Philadelphia, and will set the stage for international commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall in 2009. “This year’s ceremony will be a memorable tribute to a revolutionary thinker with courage and conviction who believed in the power of liberty and openness,” said National Constitution Center President and CEO Joseph M. Torsella. “Mikhail Gorbachev is someone who truly changed the course of history, and we are honored to recognize him.” “During the Cold War, Gorbachev helped replace confrontation with negotiation and established a new climate between East and West,” said Torsella. “He bravely opened the doors of Soviet society to the winds of freedom and change, and he continues to be a voice for an open society today. His vision and strength were central to bringing about a peaceful end to the Cold War, and his remarkable leadership has led to profound and lasting consequences for our nations and for all people who treasure liberty.” This took both vision and courage.

  • Mandela's Vision for a Better World
    Mandela’s vision for a better world LONDON, UNDER EMBARGO UNTIL 18 JULY 09:00 (UTC+1) Tuesday 18th July 2017, International Nelson Mandela Day, 09:00 (UTC+1) The Elders, an international group of ex-world leaders founded by Nelson Mandela, releases a short documentary celebrating their ten years of work across the globe. The film features never-before seen footage of Nelson Mandela, President Carter and Richard Branson meeting in 2007 to set the agenda of their work. The film’s launch coincides with both Nelson Mandela’s birthday and International Nelson Mandela Day. Tuesday 18th July 2017 marks a significant milestone for The Elders as they celebrate ten years since Nelson Mandela founded the group, brought together for peace, justice and human rights. The group will gather in Cape Town to celebrate a decade of accomplishments with a screening of the documentary, and to launch their latest campaign, Walk Together; which aims to show solidarity with those who are most downtrodden and vulnerable in today’s world. "We have nothing to lose, we have our careers behind us. So we should be free to raise our voices and steer people in the right direction.”- Kofi Annan, Chair of The Elders, former UN Secretary-General and Nobel Peace Laureate. The film begins with footage from The Elders’ first meeting in 2007, and includes unseen footage of Nelson Mandela with accompanying interviews from President and Nobel Peace Laureate, Jimmy Carter; Co-Founder of The Elders, Graça Machel; and first female President of Ireland, Mary Robinson. The documentary celebrates their work across the world, providing insight into the delicate negotiations that have gone on to address conflicts and geopolitical tensions in Iran, the Korean Peninsula, Cyprus and Israel/Palestine, and the group’s public advocacy on issues such as climate change, child marriage, equality for girls and women, and refugees and migration.

  • 1 Center for Global Development Keynote Address Ellen Johnson
    Center for Global Development Keynote Address Ellen Johnson Sirleaf Former President of the Republic of Liberia As delivered November 4, 2019 This is the text of a speech given by president Ellen Johnson Sirleaf at an event hosted at the Center for Global Development on November 4, 2019. Mr. Masood Ahmed - CDG Chairman, Mr. Larry Summers, former President and my dear friend Nancy Birdsall, the CDG Family, Special Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen: I fondly recall that CGD was one of Liberia’s first partners, even before my inauguration in January of 2006, as we sought to tackle the legacy of decades of regional and civil war. It was the Chair Emeritus of CGD Ed Scott who established the Scott Family Liberia Fellows. The program recruited both Liberians and non-Liberians to serve as assistants to heads of agencies and ministries to help rebuild the country. A current Visiting Fellow at CGD, Gyude Moore, was one such Scott Fellows. Gyude was also my former Deputy Chief of Staff and Minister of Public Works. Your platform continued to be here for me, arguing for debt relief, highlighting the importance of rebuilding Liberia’s security forces towards post-conflict stabilization, and helping ensure that Liberia was at the front of the queue for programs like PEPFAR, Feed the Future, the MCC and Power Africa. Through the efforts of Betsy Williams, the Scotts Fellows initiative expanded to the President’s Young Professional Program, which included qualifying graduates of local institutions. Today, the program has transformed into the Emerging Public Leaders and has been implemented in Ghana with potential to expand into other African countries.

  • Address by President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf the Sixth Nelson Mandela Annual Lecture Title: Behold the New Africa Johannesburg, South Africa, July 12 2008
    ADDRESS BY PRESIDENT ELLEN JOHNSON-SIRLEAF THE SIXTH NELSON MANDELA ANNUAL LECTURE TITLE: BEHOLD THE NEW AFRICA JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA, JULY 12 2008 Our revered President Mandela, our sister Graça Machel, distinguished ladies and gentlemen: What an honor it is to be standing before His Excellency, Nelson Mandela, to deliver the 6th Annual Nelson Mandela Lecture here at Walter Sisulu Square in Kliptown, Soweto. What an honour to follow all the many sterling persons who have given this speech before me. President Mandela on the occasion of your 90th birthday, I would like to pay tribute to you, a man who paved the way for a new generation of leaders and the emergence of democratization in Africa where, through free and fair elect or other processes, authority is transferred peacefully from one civilian government to another; where issues and hope, not fear for the future, define the national debate; where equality of women is a right and women’s agencies supported and utilized; where governments invest in basic services like health and education, for all; where there is respect for individual and human rights; where there is a vibrant and open media; where economic growth is driven by entrepreneurs and the private sector; where open markets and trade define interactions with traditional donor nations; And finally and more importantly, where leaders are accountable to their people. We admire you, President Mandela; for returning justice and democracy to your country, South Africa, and in doing so, for becoming an inspiration for Africans and for peoples the world over. You have taught us that if one believes in compassion for humanity we can all make a difference.

    Graduate Women International (GWI) United Nation Repre- sentative Report 2019 High Level Panel on “Futures of Education” during the 74th Session of the Gen- eral Assembly of the United Nations (UN) Organized by United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and Portugal New York, 25 September 2019 Attended by GWI UN representatives Sophie Zaretsky, Maryella Hannum and Maureen Byrne Inequalities, violence and exclusion are bringing many societies to a point of crisis. The fragility of our planet and its ecosystems is becoming more and more apparent. Advances in digital communication, artificial intelligence and biotechnology have great potential for moving humanity forward. In re- sponse, the UNESCO launched the “Futures of Education” project in the attempt to generate debate on how education needs to be re-thought. Hereby, UNESCO is establishing a High-Level International Commission of eminent thought leaders of diverse expertise and perspectives from the world of poli- tics, academia, the arts, science and business. Through a consultative process involving governments, policymakers, civil society, youth, educators and other stakeholders the International Commission will prepare a report for 2021 that will provide an agenda for policy debate and resulting action. Although the primary Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) addressed is SDG 4 on achieving inclusive access to quality education for all, this project intersects with all other SDGs as well. Present at the panel were among others Audrey Azoulay, Head of UNESCO; Antonio Guterres, UN Sec- retary General; Ms. Sahle-Work Zewde, President of Ethiopia and Chair of the International Commis- sion on the Futures of Education; Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, President of Portugal as well as several heads of state, educators, civil society and private sector representatives.
