  • (MSF), to Be New Cleveringa Lecturer at Leiden University
    Doctor Joanne Liu, International President of Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), to be new Cleveringa lecturer at Leiden University Word of welcome by Rector prof. Carel Stolker Leiden, 25 November 2016 Dear professor Liu, Re-reading the famous opening lines of Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities, it struck me how well they apply to our own time and age. Let me read them to you: “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, ...” Dickens was, of course, writing about the age of the French Revolution and the Jacobin Reign of Terror that eventually followed. Our current global situation is different in many ways. And still, this is both the best of times and the worst of times, both the spring of hope and the winter of despair. Your own work and the work of your organisation, Médecins sans Frontières, Doctors without Borders, is a wonderful example of the best that humanity has to offer. You help people who need it most, often in situations where other organisations do not even dare to tread. And you do so without favouring any faction or any ethnic group, and without serving any specific political agenda. It certainly is the best of times when such an organisation receives widespread recognition and appreciation, including the 1999 Nobel Peace Prize, "in recognition of the organization's pioneering humanitarian work on several continents".
