UNRWA, ICJ named in unofficial 2024 Nobel Peace Prize shortlist

Henrik Urdal, director of the Peace Research Institute Oslo, has announced his unofficial 2024 Nobel Peace Prize shortlist. He included UNRWA and the ICJ.

The UN's Palestinian refugee agency UNRWA and the International Court of Justice (ICJ) have been named in an unofficial shortlist for the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize. Henrik Urdal, director of the Norwegian-based Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO), announced his list on Wednesday – as he has each year since assuming his role in 2017. UNRWA and its chief Philippe Lazzarini were third on the list, which gives Urdal's perspective on the most deserving potential winners. The ICJ took the second spot. "UNRWA is on the list for their crucial humanitarian support in one of today's most devastating humanitarian contexts," Urdal told The New Arab in emailed comments. "The Nobel Peace Prize has a long tradition for awarding prizes for humanitarian work (including to ICRC, MSF, WFP, [gynaecologist and rights activist] Denis Mukwege), and a prize to UNRWA would sit very well in this tradition. "It will also bring important attention to the need for protecting and supporting humanitarian assistance in an increasingly polarised geopolitical situation." The shortlist's announcement comes after Norwegian MP Asmund Aukrust last week said he had put UNRWA forward for the peace prize. "We welcome this as a reaffirmation and a recognition of the work of UNRWA and its humanitarian frontline workers in Gaza and the region," an agency spokesperson told The New Arab.

Depuis l’époque apostolique, avec l’évangéliste Luc, appelé le médecin bien-aimé par l’apôtre Paul, et jusqu’à nos jours, de nombreux médecins chrétiens ont laissé une empreinte déterminante et durable dans l’histoire de l’expansion de l’Église.

Il serait impossible de les citer tous, mais certainement que nous avons entendu parler de certains ?

Mentionnons : Ambroise Paré, à qui l’on doit cette citation bien connue « Je le soignai, Dieu le guérit » ; le célèbre médecin et pasteur Alsacien, Albert Schweitzer, fondateur de l’hôpital de Lambaréné au Gabon ; d’autres moins connus du public francophone comme l’Anglais Hudson Taylor, fondateur de la Mission à l’Intérieur de la Chine, ayant introduit le christianisme au cœur du peuple Chinois, et dont la survivance nous étonne malgré les terribles pressions du pouvoir en place ; plus près de nous, le célèbre docteur et pasteur pentecôtiste, Denis Mukwege, l’homme qui répare les femmes, Prix Nobel de la paix, fondateur de l’hôpital Panzi à l’Est de la RDC.

J’en ai croisé des centaines d’autres lors de mes nombreux voyages missionnaires, au Rwanda, au Burkina Faso, en Côte d’Ivoire, en Guinée, et bien d’autres pays. Anonymes, discrets, mais efficaces, ils sont des témoins de l’amour de Dieu envers ceux qui souffrent.

« Seigneur, nous te prions pour ces milliers de médecins chrétiens qui chaque jour sont auprès des malades, pour leur apporter les soins dont chacun a besoin. Nous te prions pour leur donner un bon diagnostic, et d’apporter une réponse sage aux souffrances de chacun.

Pour ceux qui dirigent des équipes, ou des hôpitaux, donne-leur d’être de bons gestionnaires des ressources humaines et financières.

Garde-les de tous les dangers qui peuvent les menacer, comme c’est le cas pour le docteur Mukwege qui a déjà été victime de plusieurs tentatives d’assassinat.

Qu’eux, et tout le personnel soignant qui est avec eux, soient des canaux de bénédiction là où tu les as placés ! Au nom de Jésus, amen ! »Avec amour, Paul

Launching the "MUSIC FOR PEACE" album featuring works by renowned composers and pianists.

On Sunday, 31 March, to close out the month of French Language Day and International Women’s Day, the UN Chamber Music Society will be launching the MUSIC FOR PEACE album featuring works by renowned composer and pianist Gabriel Fauré, dedicated to helping to eliminate violence against women and girls.

On this occasion, to help combat sexual violence against women and girls, the UN Chamber Music Society will dedicate this album to the tireless efforts of Nobel Peace Prize laureate Dr. Denis Mukwege, who has bravely committed his life to helping to eliminate violence against women. Denis Mukwege grew up in the town of Bukavu in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). He trained as a doctor and became a gynecologist after studying in France. In 1999, he established the Panzi Hospital in Bukavu, where he and his staff have treated the injuries of thousands of women victims of sexual violence. Many millions of people have been killed, abused or forced to flee in the civil wars that have ravaged the DRC since the 1990s. All parties to the conflict have used the rape of women as a weapon to humiliate and weaken their opponents. Dr. Mukwege has become one of the world’s leading experts on the treatment of internal injuries suffered by women subjected to gang rape. He has carried out countless operations, working long days of up to 18 hours. Quite remarkably, and as a testament to his fundamental human spirit, he was in the operating room when he was told that he had been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

MUSIC FOR PEACE is an album which serves as a catalyst for reflection, healing and renewed commitment to he ideals of the United Nations. It features the piano legend Jerome Lowenthal – a virtuoso of the fingers and the emotions, and who has served as the piano chair of the Juilliard School. Founded in 2016 by Brenda Vongova, the UN Chamber Music Society is dedicated to promoting the United Nations’ goals and values at large - through the universal language of music.

Congo: More Vicious Than Rape

It had been no secret that nearly all sides in the Congo's complex civil war resorted to systematic rape among civilian populations, and estimates were as high as a quarter million victims of sexual assault during the four-year-long conflict. But once fighting died down, victims began coming out of the jungles and forests and their condition was worse than anyone had imagined. Thousands of women had been raped so brutally that they had fistulas. They wandered into hospitals soaked in their own urine and feces, rendered incontinent by their injuries.

Ordinary rapes, even violent ones, do not usually cause fistulas, although it's not medically impossible. Doctors in eastern Congo say they have seen cases that resulted from gang rapes where large numbers of militiamen repeatedly forced themselves on the victim. But more often the damage is caused by the deliberate introduction of objects into the victim's vagina when the rape itself is over. The objects might be sticks or pipes. Or gun barrels. In many cases the attackers shoot the victim in the vagina at point-blank range after they have finished raping her. "Often they'll do this carefully to make sure the woman does not die," says Dr. Denis Mukwege, medical director of Panzi Hospital. "The perpetrators are trying to make the damage as bad as they can, to use it as a kind of weapon of war, a kind of terrorism"
