  • 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.

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.

  • Ipb Annual Report 2004
    INTERNATIONAL PEACE BUREAU ANNUAL REPORT 2004 INTRODUCTION In 2004 the key issues facing the world's peace movements were little different from those they faced in the preceding 3 years. Probably they can be summed in the one word: Iraq. Armed intervention, the dominant rôle of the US, oil wars, terrorism, human rights, military spending, democracy, inter-cultural dialogue, reform of the UN...all the big themes that civil society peace organisations try to grapple with are visible there. The 'images of the year' were undoubtedly the sensational photographs of the abuses at the Abu Ghraib prison committed by US military personnel, which shook America and enraged the Arab world. Things have not got much better since then. With the re-election of the Bush team to the White House, peace advocates have had to accept that a rapid turnaround inUS policies is not on the horizon and that they must dig in for a long haul. For the IPB this was a year in two parts, separated by the great highlight of the Barcelona conference in June, which brought together over 1000 participants from all parts of the globe to debate the broad range of issues referred to above. Much of the early months at the IPB secretariat were spent preparing all the details of this extremely complicated event. The months after were focussed partly on the reporting process and partly on the development of the new project, on Women in Peacemaking. In between we also spent much time putting together the triple-purpose gathering in Florence: the seminar on UN reform; the annual Council meeting; and the MacBride Prize award ceremony.

  • 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.

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

    List of Nobel laureates 1 List of Nobel laureates The Nobel Prizes (Swedish: Nobelpriset, Norwegian: Nobelprisen) are awarded annually by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the Swedish Academy, the Karolinska Institute, and the Norwegian Nobel Committee to individuals and organizations who make outstanding contributions in the fields of chemistry, physics, literature, peace, and physiology or medicine.[1] They were established by the 1895 will of Alfred Nobel, which dictates that the awards should be administered by the Nobel Foundation. Another prize, the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, was established in 1968 by the Sveriges Riksbank, the central bank of Sweden, for contributors to the field of economics.[2] Each prize is awarded by a separate committee; the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awards the Prizes in Physics, Chemistry, and Economics, the Karolinska Institute awards the Prize in Physiology or Medicine, and the Norwegian Nobel Committee awards the Prize in Peace.[3] Each recipient receives a medal, a diploma and a monetary award that has varied throughout the years.[2] In 1901, the recipients of the first Nobel Prizes were given 150,782 SEK, which is equal to 7,731,004 SEK in December 2007. In 2008, the winners were awarded a prize amount of 10,000,000 SEK.[4] The awards are presented in Stockholm in an annual ceremony on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel's death.[5] As of 2011, 826 individuals and 20 organizations have been awarded a Nobel Prize, including 69 winners of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences.[6] Four Nobel laureates were not permitted by their governments to accept the Nobel Prize.
