THE MISSING PEACE: She Was Called a Traitor in 1915 for Her Pacifist Opposition to World War I
CountHerHistory October 2007 AAUW-Illinois by Barbara Joan Zeitz THE MISSING PEACE: She was called a traitor in 1915 for her pacifist opposition to World War I. She was adamant that no matter the cause, the pain of the fight would render meaningless the victory. She was convinced only peace and democracy would bring peace and democracy. Her name was on the Senate Judiciary Committee’s traitor list in 1919. Her name was on another list in 1931, that of Nobel Peace Prize winners, as the first American woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. Her name? Jane Addams. Another woman pacifist, Countess Bertha Kinsky was born of aristocracy in 1876 in Prague, which then was part of the Austrian Empire. She grew up learning languages, studying the classics and preparing to be an opera singer. But as a young woman, with family fortunes squandered, she had to earn her living. She first worked as a governess in Austria, and then for a mere eight days as secretary-housekeeper to Alfred Nobel in Paris. It is speculated she departed his employ quickly perhaps rejecting his attentions and marriage proposal, for it is known she loved another. Upon her return to Austria, she married Arthur von Suttner and began her career as a journalist and author. In her book, The Machine Age, she published radical views on education and women’s rights. She became a pacifist and envisioned an international peace league to arbitrate instead of to war. Largely through her efforts, the International Peace Bureau was formed with her as vice-president. -

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. -
Chapter Three Information As Protection
The State of the World's Refugees 1993 Chapter Three Information as Protection On 7 November 1992, a vessel slipped away from the Somali port of Marka carrying a desperate human cargo: 3,302 refugees from the brutal civil war that had plunged their country into anarchy and famine. Distress signals from the ship, which carried little food or water, were picked up five days later, as it headed for the Gulf of Aden. No port in the region was willing to accept another shipload of Somali boat people – until the press was alerted and began to write and broadcast news of the impending tragedy. World attention focused on the lost ship, and states with forces in the region launched a week-long air and sea search until it was located. Yemen, already host to 50,000 Somali refugees, opened the port of Aden. The ship, jammed with hungry, thirsty, frightened people, docked safely on 18 November. A late 20th-century cliché holds that information is power. Information is also protection. Neither the general public nor officials can respond adequately to refugee problems they know nothing about. Gathering information and communicating it effectively are central to the assistance and protection of refugees. Radical changes in the information environment, the result of the technological revolution, have made it less likely that humanitarian tragedies will unfold completely unnoticed by the outside world. There are other risks, however. The consumers of modern media are exposed to enormous quantities of information from multiple sources. Refugees and other humanitarian issues compete with an array of topics, ranging from local to global concerns and from the momentous to the trivial. -
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. -

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. Busch 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. -

Heffermehl, jurist LLM og forfatter Stensgaten 24B, 0358 Oslo [email protected], tlf. +47 917 44 783 Oslo, 8. april 2014 ØKOKRIM, Den sentrale enhet for etterforsking og påtale av økonomisk kriminalitet og miljøkriminalitet C. J. Hambros plass 2C 0164 Oslo ANMELDELSE - ULOVLIG FORVALTNING AV NOBELS FREDSPRIS Jeg takker for møte 26.3 2014 med assisterende ØKOKRIM-sjef Thomas Skjelbred og er glad for at ØKOKRIM vil se på mulige strafferettslige sider av den norske forvaltningen av Nobels ”priset för fredsförfäktare”. Vi følger opp med en anmeldelse. De som peker seg ut med særlig ansvar er Nobelkomiteens leder Thorbjørn Jagland og komiteens sekretær Geir Lundestad. Utdeling av Nobels fredspris i strid med Alfreds Nobels testament er en form for økonomisk kriminalitet (kriminalitet innenfor en ellers lovlig virksomhet). Aktuelle straffebestemmelser kan være strl. § 255, jf. § 256 (grovt underslag) og strl. § 275, jf. 276 (grov utroskap). Foretaksstraff i medhold av strl. § 48 a er også aktuelt, jf. annet ledd som bestemmer at stiftelser omfattes av begrepet foretak i første ledd. GENERELT OM BAKGRUNNEN FOR ANMELDELSEN Straffeforfølgning er ikke noe mål i seg selv. Men etter seks års arbeid, utallige henstillinger til Nobelkomiteen, Nobelstiftelsen, det norske og svenske stiftelsestilsynet for å sikre at prisen tildeles vinnere som oppfyller kravene i Nobels testament, må vi konstatere at vi ikke har andre utveier. Det store historiske bakteppet i denne saken er at Nobel i sine siste leveår var opptatt av fredssaken. Han opprettet ”priset för fredsförfäktare” for å gi økonomisk støtte til arbeidet for å få avskaffet militærvesenet i alle land og dermed erstatte makt med rett i internasjonal politikk. -
Reflections on the First Century of the Nobel Peace Prize
Irwin Abrams: Reflections on the first century of the Nobel Peace Prize Det Norske Nobelinstitutts Skriftserie The Norwegian Nobel Institute Series Vol. 1 – No. 5 2 Table of Contents: Introduction............................................................................................. 5 Categories of laureates ............................................................................ 6 Prizes for institutions............................................................................... 8 Prizes for statesmen and political leaders............................................. 11 Prizes for human rights......................................................................... 16 Campaigns ............................................................................................. 18 Recent prizes.......................................................................................... 24 3 4 Introduction I have been reflecting on the Nobel Peace Prize for a long time, and much of what I have to say is not likely to be very new.1 My first reflections were published in 1962, almost forty years ago, entitled “The Nobel Peace Prize. A Balance Sheet”.2 It had been inspired by my analysis of the correspondence between Alfred Nobel and Bertha von Suttner, which showed how she had influenced him to establish this prize.3 I began this balance sheet with Nobel’s much quoted remark to her, “My factories will perhaps make an end to war sooner than your congresses. The day that two army corps can annihilate one another in one second, the civilized
