Mai 2001 9:16 09 The Liaison Committee of Historians came into being in 1982 as a result of an important international symposium that the Commission had organized in Luxembourg to launch historical research on Euro- pean integration. The committee is composed of historians of the European Union member countries who work on contemporary history. The Liaison Committee: – gathers and conveys information about work on European history after the Second World War; – advises the European Union on research projects concerning contemporary European history. Thus, the Liaison Committee was commissioned to make publicly available the archives of the Community institutions; – enables researchers to make better use of the archival sources; – promotes research meetings to get an update of work in progress and to stimulate new research: seven research conferences have been organized and their proceedings published. The Journal of European Integration History – Revue d’histoire de l’intégration européenne – Zeitschrift für Geschichte der europäischen Integration is in line with the preoccupations of the Liaison Committee. Being the first history journal to deal exclusively with the history of European Integration, the Journal offers the increasing number of young historians devoting their research to contemporary Europe, a permanent forum. The Liaison Committee is supported by the European Commission, but works completely independ- ently and according to historians’ critical method.

In 1959 EFTA was instead established, with the three Scandinavian countries included among the seven founding countries. Contemporary observers claimed that the Scandinavian cus- toms union henceforth ". at most would serve as a subject for dissertations for future researchers on Nordic cooperation".3 This article is based on my dissertation on the plans for a Scandinavian customs union, and the Norwegian attitude towards these. Norway has been judged, both by contemporaries and in hindsight by researchers, to be the most reluctant among the Scandinavian countries towards Scandinavian cooperation and a Scandinavian customs union. This conclusion will be discussed and modified in this article. My argument is that Norway throughout this period pursued a fairly consistent and positive policy towards closer Scandi- Ingrid Sogner, born 1964, Cand.

OVERVIEW During the debate, Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon, President of the General Assembly Mogens Lykketoft, representatives from 191 Member States and three observer delegations put forth their concerns, positions and priorities under the theme “The UN at 70: The Road Ahead for Peace, Security, and Human Rights.” The main topics during the General Debate included the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the refugee crisis in Europe, the threat of non-state terrorist like Daesh and Boko-Haram, and the conflict in Syria. Many states praised the adoption of the 2030 Agenda by the General Assembly and spoke hopefully about the potential of the Global Goals to end poverty, reduce gender inequality, protect against climate change, and promote human rights. 1 However, several states also voiced concern that the Agenda does not adequately account for differences between states in capacity and circumstance. By far the most prevalent topic at the debate was the conflict in Syria and the ensuing refugee crisis. There was a general consensus that the global community must act to end the Syrian conflict, although there was dissension as to what form this action should take.

    THE SECRETARY-GENERAL 24 August 2005 Dear Dr. Brooks, Thank you for your kind letter of 1 August 2005. I am happy to know that you continue to have such a keen interest in the work of the United Nations, and greatly appreciate the support you have expressed for the Organization, and me personally. I can well understand your wish to visit the United Nations, but I regret that it will not be possible to extend an invitation to you and your family to attend the upcoming Summit in September. In view of the large number of Heads of State who will be in New York for the Summit, access to the United Nations complex has had to be restricted to official delegations of Member States and current United Nations staff. I would, however, be pleased to meet you should you wish to visit the United Nations at a mutually convenient time after the Summit. Please accept my best wishes as you prepare to return to Liberia, and thank you again for your continued support for the ideals of the United Nations. Yours sincerely, Kofi A. Annan Dr. Angie Brooks AUG 2 4 2005 Texas PS: """"" As far as I'm aware, there are no "ceremonial moments" which would warrant an invitation to Ms. Brooks as a former GA President.

    March 17, 1994 Friends, Enclosed Is Some of My Work on Behalf Of

    March 17, 1994 Friends, Enclosed is some of my work on behalf of shaping this vision for the upcoming United Nations 50th Anni- versary Celebration. I believe there is a need to weave these "threads" into a common vision, and the Philadelphia for World Peace and Dignity Campaign dem- onstrates for the world how one city comes together to "sound out for survival." It is based on a belief in people, and in our greatest resource . the human spirit. It was created to inspire the participation of all people, and to serve as an empowering model for other cities to follow. It is an on-going campaign and carries with it the seeds of new beginnings. I believe deeply that we stand at a moment in time that will not come again. We have what we need to make this happen. Lifting American Dignity is the goal. Sharing it with the world is the dream. For the youth of the world, "We Hold the Light" is just the begin- ning. But it is the first step, and it is towards hope and towards the future. Inspiring future peacekeepers of the world and mobilizing youth in a bold new spirit of peace and cooperation is the mission. The global youth concert enables young people to express in their own voices and dreams of peace. It empowers them to take positive action for change, and to come together in unity and purpose. In that spirit, I submit the enclosed recommended theme song for this World Peace and Dignity Campaign: "WE CAN DO IT," an empowering song to help lift and mobilize the youth of the world.

    Vice President's Remarks at Angie Brooks International Center, 7

    Remarks by H. E. Joseph N. Boakai, Vice President, Republic of Liberia At Program Marking One-Year Anniversary of the Launch of the Angie Brooks International Center for Women’s Empowerment, Leadership Development, International Peace and Security University of Liberia Campus at Fendell, Sunday, March 7, 2010 Excellencies; Workshop Facilitators and Participants; Distinguished Guests; Ladies and Gentlemen: As we did last year, and have done since the United Nations set aside this day more than thirty years ago, we join the world in commemorating International Women’s Day, being celebrated tomorrow, March 8 th . The international community set aside this day in recognition of women’s contributions to international peace and development. Women have made important strides, but much remains to be done to ensure that the female 50 percent of the population can reach their fullest potential and make the world better through their contributions. How time flies, Ladies and Gentlemen! It was an extraordinary happening that took place in Liberia exactly a year ago, when our country co-convened, with Finland, the International Colloquium on Women’s Empowerment, Leadership Development, International Peace and Security. The Colloquium witnessed one of the largest gatherings of women ever held in Africa. Over a thousand women – and a few men – convened near Monrovia to discuss and strategize on how to empower women to be more effective leaders by linking them with their peers from around the world, and sharing and implementing best practices on economic empowerment, influencing climate change and sustaining development. The outcomes were: The Monrovia Declaration and The Call for Action.
