Warsaw, the capital of the world's peace |
|
Warsaw, 21 October, 2013 (APA/OTS) - On 21-23 October, Warsaw
will turn into the global capital of peace. Nobel Peace Prize
Laureates have arrived in Poland to spend the next three days on
discussions about human rights and key global problems. Over six
thousand participants from Poland and abroad have registered to
attend the event. |
The World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates, held in Central and
Eastern Europe for the first time, is guided by the motto "Stand in
solidarity for peace - time to act". Piotr Gulczyński, President of
the Executive Board of the Lech Wałęsa Institute, emphasises that
this year's motto gained a special significance: "Thirty years ago,
President Lech Wałęsa was awarded the Nobel Prize for his commitment
to the peaceful resolution of the problems faced by Poland. His
actions were an expression of the unique sense of solidarity the
Polish nation presented in its struggle for freedom and
independence. Today, in the age of raging conflicts, the world needs
the idea of solidarity as badly as Poland needed it three decades
ago."
During the Summit international participants will join the Nobel
Peace Prize Laureates in a debate on the key issues related to the
reduction of global social inequalities. The following Laureates
will be participating in the debate sessions: His Holiness Dalai
Lama XIV, former President of South Africa Frederik Willem de Klerk,
Iranian lawyer Shirin Ebadi, Irish peace activists Betty Williams
and Mairead Corrigan, and Muhammad Yunus, originator of the concept
of microcredit. The debate will also be attended by representatives
of Nobel Peace Prize awarded organisations: Permanent International
Peace Bureau, Amnesty International, American Friends for Service
Committee, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the United
Nations and United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.
