THE 10TH SUMMIT OF NOBEL PEACE LAUREATES, BERLIN, 9-11 NOVEMBER 2009 BREAKING DOWN WALLS
AND BUILDINGBRIDGES
At the invitation of the Mayor of Berlin,
we would like to invite you to the 10th Annual Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates
which will gather in the German capital from 9 – 11 November 2009 in
conjunction with celebrations to mark the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall.
The twentieth anniversary of the fall of
the Berlin Wall presents a unique opportunity to examine global developments
since then – including the rise and fall of unipolarism – and to consider the
strategic, ideological and economic implications of the emerging multipolar
world.
It is intended that the 10th Summit would consider how
the ideological, economic, strategic and religious walls that continue to
divide humanity can best be dismantled and replaced with bridges of
communication and understanding. It will include the following sessions:
20 Years after the fall of the
Berlin Wall: what were its implications and what has changed since then? In an
historic debate, Nobel Peace Laureates as Mikhail Gorbachev, Lech Walesa, F W
de Klerk and others are invited to discuss the meaning of the fall of the wall
twenty years after the event and the implications of the new emerging
multipolar world. The panel will include laureates who played leading roles in
the historic developments of 1989 – not only in Europe, but as far away as
southern Africa.
Breaking down walls created by
nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction, i.e. the walls of strategic
military advantage that continue to divide mankind.
Breaking down walls between
cultural, religious and ethnic communities and the ways and means of building
bridges between such communities. Nearly all conflict in the world today is
caused by continuing walls between ethnic, language and religious communities
within the same societies, as well as by the walls of religious fundamentalism
that continue to divide the world.
Breaking down the walls that
prevent progress toward sustainable development. The walls of short-term
economic interest and governmental and public apathy will have to be dismantled
if mankind is to succeed in building bridges to an environmentally sustainable
future.
Breaking down walls between the
developed and developing world, i.e. the walls that continue to divide
developed and developing countries and the bridges that can be constructed to
ensure that all mankind will increasingly share in the benefits of the
globalizing world economy.
The Summit
is working on the possibility to involve one of the major TV channels (Deutsche
Welle, Al Jazeira, CNN, BBC World, NBC and other) to broadcast the Berlin Nobel
Summit Debates to audiences all over Europe
and the world.
Each discussion will be moderated by a
journalist or an expert and will be introduced with short statements by the
panel leaders followed by a panel discussion and questions from the floor and
youth representatives.
An important contribution to the debate
about Breaking Down Walls And Building Bridges would be signing by the
laureates a declaration on the Breaking Down of Walls and the Building of
Bridges and – based on the panel discussions – identifying a specific project
and action plan to break down walls and build bridges that they will collectively
support during 2010 in order to implement the project and the action plan.
