  • Trygve

    Trygve Lie speal<s As Secretary-General of the United Nations, Trygve Lie is in a strategic position. Respons­ ible to all member governments and their people rather than to any nation, he is the top ranking international civil servant. He has used this pivotal post intelligently, im­ partially, courageously, and creatively. He has been criticized from all quarters, but has never­ theless gained the respect and confidence of nearly all of the men and women closely as­ sociated with the U. N. Trygve Lie was born on July 16, 1896 in Oslo, Norway. At 15 he was secretary of the local health insurance company; at 16 presi­ dent of a branch of the La:bor Party. Never­ theless he found time to complete his law degree at Oslo University and to ski, skate, wrestle, and play tennis. In 1919 he became assistant to the secretary of the Norwegian Labor Party, then legal adviser to the Trade Union Federation (1922-35), and executive sec­ retary of the Labor Party (1926). When labor came into power in 1935, he became Minister of Justice. At the time of the German Oc­ cupation, he was Minister of Trade, Industry, Shipping, and Fishing. Escaping to London with other cabinet members, he became Foreign Minister in 1941. At the United Nations conference in San Francisco in 1945 he was ·chairman of the Norwegian delegation. On February 1, 1946 he was elected Secretary General of the U. N. and in 1951 his term was extended for three years.

The event is part of an international study project on behalf of the German Federal Ministry of Defence that aims at developing a more pronounced national stance on the concept of protection of civilians (POC) and searches for ways to improve Germany’s “POC preparedness” with respect to military, police, and civilian capacities. The workshop will provide an opportunity to explore the recent policy developments pertaining to POC in the context of UN peace operations, discuss persisting issues and challenges related to the implementation of POC mandates, and map best practices, political commitments and institutional initiatives that aim to renovate and invigorate POC at the international, regional and national levels. In particular, it will identify existing UN, regional and national policy frameworks pertaining to POC, in order to inform the development of national POC strategies, with an aim to foster further cooperation and partnerships in this area.
