 IPB Annual Seminar, Copenhagen, Nov. 2008
IPB's Annual seminar was held in Copenhagen on 14-16 Nov. 2008. It was generally felt to be a great success. The event was entitled,'Fredrik Bajer - a Pioneer of Modern Peacemaking. An International Seminar on disarmament, terrorism and poverty: challenges for peace and human rights movements' and was organised by the Danish Peace Council and International Peace Bureau on the occasion of the centenary commemoration of F. Bajer's Nobel Peace Prize (1908).
During the opening session of the seminar, IPB awarded its annual Sean MacBride Peace Prize to the US disarmament advocate Jacqueline Cabasso.
See Next Item for texts of two press releases (including background on Sean MacBride and the Prize itself+previous winners) and extracts from Cabasso's acceptance speech.
