Viewpoint Science home shop ... search Kofi Annan: gentleman diplomat October 2001 Kofi Annan Kofi Atta Annan, 63, winner of the 2001 Nobel Peace Prize, issued a millennium report in April 2000 titled We the Peoples: The Role of the United Nations in the 21st Century . It was a remarkable document, outlining goals for reducing global poverty, improving education for boys and girls in poor countries, and relieving the scourge of AIDS. "We must put people at the centre of everything we do," Annan said. "No calling is more noble, and no responsibility greater, than that of enabling men, women and children, in cities and villages around the world, to make their lives better." Barbara Crossette wrote in The New York Times He was born in Kumasi, Ghana, on April 8, 1938, a member of an upper-class merchant family that had descended from tribal chiefs. While boarding at a high school in Ghana, he once conducted a successful hunger strike to protest against the poor quality of food. He went on to the University of Science and Technology at Kumasi, then Macalester College in St. Paul, Minn., Institut des Haute Étude Internationale in Geneva, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he earned a master's degree in management. Annan is the first secretary general to have worked his way to the top job through the ranks, being a 30-year UN veteran. He performed brilliantly in the early 1990s, negotiating the release of Western hostages from Iraq after the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. In 1994, Annan directed the withdrawal of UN forces from Somalia. In the mid-1990s, he served as the special representative for the UN peacekeeping operations in the former Yugoslavia.

International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), Nobel Prize for Peace in both 1917 and 1944. It shared another Nobel Peace Prize with the League of Red Cross Societies in 1963, the year of the 100th anniversary of the ICRC's founding. The International Committee of the Red Cross was formed in response to the experiences of its founder, Jean-Henri Dunant , at the Battle of Solferino in 1859. Dunant witnessed thousands of wounded soldiers left to die for lack of adequate medical services. Soliciting help from neighbouring civilians, Dunant organized care for the soldiers. In 1862 he published an account of the situation at Solferino; by 1863 he had garnered so much support that the Geneva Society for Public Welfare helped found the International Committee for the Relief of the Wounded. In 1875 this organization became the International Committee of the Red Cross. The ICRC is now one component of a large network including national Red Cross and Red Crescent societies and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. (The Red Crescent was adopted in lieu of the Red Cross in Muslim countries.) The governing body of the ICRC is the Committee, consisting of no more than 25 members. All the members are Swiss, in part due to the origins of the Red Cross in Geneva but also to establish neutrality so any countries in need can receive aid. The Committee meets in assembly 10 times each year to ensure that the ICRC fulfills its duties as the promoter of international humanitarian law and as the guardian of the Fundamental Principles of the Red Cross: "humanity, impartiality, neutrality, independence, voluntary service, unity, and universality."

In 1862 Dunant published his recollection of this experience as A Memory of Solferino and remained convinced that the power of humanity could be engaged to alleviate suffering on a global scale. Vulnerable people exist in all societies, he argued, and should be afforded the same care and consideration. Some of the men wounded in battle lay where they fell for days bleeding and tormented by thirst, hunger, flies and burning heat. The dead were thrown into huge pits, along with others seriously injured but alive nonetheless. Amid the stench and sounds of pain and anguish, thieves moved from person to person, robbing both the wounded and the dead. Moved by the sight of the appalling injuries suffered by these young men, Dunant rallied villagers from the town of Castiglione della Pieve to assist and tend the wounded. These townsfolk were to become the first volunteers of the Red Cross. Would there not be some means, during a period of peace and calm, of forming relief Societies whose object would be to have the wounded cared for in time of war by enthusiastic devoted volunteers fully qualified for the task. Such Societies could even render great service during epidemics or at times of disaster of flood and fire; the philanthropic motives underlying their vocation would bring them into action immediately wherever and whenever they could usefully intervene.

A Brief History of the Red Cross, its Symbol, and Clara Barton In 1859, Swiss businessman Henri Dunant (1828-1910) visited the northern Italian battlefield of Solferino and was deeply affected by the impact of war on the lives and dignity of both combatant and civilian. The memoir he wrote, A Memory of Solferino , inspired the 1863 founding of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). Near the end of his book Dunant writes: "But why have I told of all these scenes of pain and distress, and perhaps aroused painful emotions in my readers? Why have I lingered with seeming complacency over lamentable pictures, tracing their details with what may appear desperate fidelity? It is a natural question. Perhaps I might answer it by another: Would it not be possible, in time of peace and quiet, to form relief societies for the purpose of having care given to the wounded in wartime by zealous, devoted and thoroughly qualified volunteers?" The aim of Dunant's proposals was twofold: on the one hand, to create in all countries voluntary "relief societies for the purpose of having care given to the wounded in wartime " and, on the other, to formulate an "international principle, sanctioned by a Convention inviolate in character, " which would serve as the basis and support for the relief societies.

LEADERS OF THE AMERICAN RED CROSS Clara Barton was already world-renowned when she founded the American Red Cross in 1881. Her service to the troops during the Civil War, her various other philanthropic activities here and abroad and her lengthy campaign for American ratification of the 1864 Geneva Convention for the protection of the war injured had made her a genuine American heroine. Yet she was only the first of a long line of distinguished Americans who have served as leaders of the American Red Cross. Among them are friends of presidents and accomplished military leaders, physicians, financiers and public servants. During World War I, a temporary restructuring occurred when President Wilson appointed a seven member War Council to run the Red Cross and its many war-related activities (1917-1919). After the war, leadership reverted to the Central Committee and its Chairman. Following World War II, the Red Cross came under heavy pressure to democratize its leadership structure by granting more power to local chapters. Consequently, in 1947 the organization replaced the Central Committee with a Board of Governors consisting of 50 volunteer members, the majority of whom were elected by the chapters. The President of this new Board, still appointed, along with seven other Governors, by the President of the United States, served as the principal officer of the organization. This restructuring was followed by one more set of changes in 1953 when the Red Cross created the office of a salaried President and renamed the voluntary head of the Board of Governors as its Chairman. This structure exists today with the voluntary Chairman of the Board of Governors serving as the principal officer of the American Red Cross and the paid President, who is nominated by the Chairman and elected by the Board of Governors, serving as the chief executive officer.

RED CROSS Since the Red Cross has figured four times in the award of the Nobel Peace Prize (1917, , and ), as well as in the award to Henri Dunant (1901), and has therefore been made the subject of various presentation speeches and Nobel lectures which give details of its inception, history, and activities, the following brief summary of its origins and present organization is intended as a frame of reference for all four of these awards rather than as the typical history ordinarily included for each award to an organization. Origins In February of 1863 in Geneva, Switzerland, the [Geneva Public Welfare Society] set up a committee of five Swiss citizens to look into the ideas offered by Henri Dunant in his book Un Souvenir de Solferino Guided by Moynier's talent for organization, the committee called an international conference for October of 1863 which, with sixteen nations represented, adopted various pertinent resolutions and principles, along with an international emblem, and appealed to all nations to form voluntary units to help wartime sick and wounded. These units eventually became the National Red Cross Societies, and the Committee of Five itself eventually became the International Committee of the Red Cross, with Gustave Moynier as its president (1864-1910) both before and after it took this name. The work of the Red Cross had been inaugurated.
