Juan [Somavia, Director-General of the International Labour Organization (ILO)], thank you for the introduction and let me also thank you for hosting this network here at the ILO. In addition to our friends from the media, let me also welcome and thank the representatives of youth organizations and members of the High-Level Panel of the Youth Employment Network who are here with us this afternoon. Let me give you a word of background. Last year, together with the heads of the World Bank and the International Labour Organization, I convened a High-Level Policy Network on Youth Employment — drawing on the most creative leaders in private industry, civil society and economic policy. The aim was to explore imaginative approaches in creating opportunities for youth. The Network was one of the key initiatives in my Millennium Report, which was prepared for the Millennium Summit and intended to help shape the agenda for the United Nations in the twenty-first century. Why focus on youth employment? The facts and figures should speak for themselves. Youth make up more than 40 per cent of the world's total unemployed.

Chef van de redactie buitenland was dr. Anton Constandse. Van 1946 tot en met 1948 had ik de opleiding voor de diplomatieke dienst gevolgd van het Nederlands Opleidings Instituut voor het Buitenland (NOIB) op Nijenrode. Van 1948 tot en met 1950 volgde ik op het Yale College in New Haven, Connecticut, de studie Political Science and International Relations. Inmiddels 25 jaar geworden twijfelde ik steeds meer aan een leven als ambtenaar van het Ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken. Was ik niet een te vrijgevochten en te zelfstandig denkende vogel om zonder tegensputteren of mokken braaf Haagse opdrachten uit te voeren waar ik het wellicht faliekant mee oneens zou zijn? Van een dergelijke incompatibilité d'humeurs zou immers alleen maar gedonder kunnen komen. Op het Yale College had ik in dit verband al het een en ander meegemaakt. In 1949 was ik tot praeses van de Yale International Club gekozen, een organisatie voor de in New Haven studerende buitenlandse studenten. Nederland knokte in die dagen onder de noemer van ‘politionele acties’ tegen Indonesië. Ik nodigde ambassadeur F.C.A.

  • Not Released Excerpts of an Interview with the Prime
    1 NOT RELEASED EXCERPTS OF AN INTERVIEW WITH THE PRIME MINISTER LEE KUAN YEW, BY MR. ROBERT KROON OF NETHERLANDS TV TROS, 17 SEPTEMBER 1976 ROBERT KROON: Mr. Prime Minister, how do you feel about this move which the Dutch Labour Party had a very strong hand and which finally led to the withdrawal of the People’s Action Party from the Socialist International? PRIME MINISTER: It’s not really relevant to our problems here. And if we are going to be constantly plagued by rather quaint, quixotic ideas about what socialism ought to be in Southeast Asia, that we must adopt West European standards of tolerance and permissiveness, well, perhaps, we will be better off not to be a member. And they would also be better off not to be associated with us because, on the one hand, they are ashamed that we have not adopted their standards, on the other hand, there are many things which West Europeans do which will lose me a lot of votes is I were to copy to them. lky/1976/lky0917.doc 2 ROBERT KROON: I understand that there is a mission coming out under the former Primer Minister Wilson to look into this situation. Are they trying to bridge the gap again? PRIME MINISTER: I don’t really know. Our position is quite clear. I think we face real problems. In Southeast Asia, they are not theoretical, make-believe illusory issues. This is a very different world. Once we had Watergate -- collapse of the American effort in Vietnam and Cambodia -- the American withdrawal from Thailand, I think a new situation has emerged which presents real, new challenges.

Jakarta, 14 maart 1995 H.M. de koningin Mevrouw, Ik schrijf U, omdat ik hier enkele maanden ben neergestreken om de actuele ontwikkelingen in Indonesië in verband met Uw komende staatsbezoek in augustus nader onder de loep te nemen. Uiteraard zal het Haagse apparaat U stapels dossiers ter oriëntatie doen toekomen, waar ik deze brief aan zou willen toevoegen. Reeds veertig jaar houd ik mij met dit land bezig, heb alle hoofdrolspelers sedert 1956 persoonlijk ontmoet en leren kennen. Mijn conclusie is, dat U deze reis niet moet maken. In Uw kerstrede van 1994 beklaagde U zich erover dat altijd achteraf werd geoordeeld wat ‘goed’ of ‘fout’ was geweest. U noemde dit nakaarten en wijsheid achteraf. Fascisme was ‘fout’. Verzet er tegen was ‘goed’. Collaboratie met fascisten was ‘fout’. Welnu, mijn Indonesische collega-journalisten wijzen mij erop dat Suharto aan het hoofd staat van een fascistische politiestaat. Wanneer U deze man dus de eer aandoet om hem een staatsbezoek te brengen, is dit ‘fout’ en stel ik dit vooraf vast. Suharto is een massamoordenaar, die voor het eerst in de geschiedenis van zijn land concentratiekampen in nazi-stijl inrichtte voor tegenstanders, die hij niet een gele ster uitdeelde, maar een stempel in hun identiteitspapieren liet plaatsen om hen voor het leven te brandmerken. Voltaire waarschuwde al, dat zelfs despoten goede momenten hadden. Hitler bestreed de werkeloosheid, legde autostrada's aan en liet de Volkswagen ontwerpen.
