Paris Peace Forum 2023
Seeking Common Ground in a World of Rivalry
For the sixth year in a row, the Paris Peace Forum brought together key players in global governance on November 10-11 at the Palais Brongniart. The aim of the 2023 Forum was to “Seek Common Ground in a World of Rivalry”, against a backdrop of global polarization (most notably between China and the United States) jeopardizing international cooperation on issues vital to humanity – all in an environment marked by the eruption of conflict in the Middle East.
Participated Chhaya Mathur Saint Ramon and Janicka Bassis.

Celebrating the 175th birthday of Bertha von Suttner (9th June 2018)
The life and work of Bertha von Suttner (1843-1914) for a world free of war and oppression continues to inspire people today. Her appeal to ‘Lay Down Your Arms!’ has become even more urgent in a world armed with nuclear weapons.
Her vision, efforts, and achievements deserve to be remembered, celebrated, and built upon. The Bertha von Suttner Peace Institute is therefore celebrating the 175th anniversary of her birth. The Hague, the world’s capital city of international peace and justice, and the Peace Palace, are an ideal location for such a programme of events.
Participants in the Bertha von Suttner event in The Hague included Xialei Wu, Jackie Bonasia, Evgenia Lukaschuk, Niels van Tol, Behnaz Monfared, and von Suttner scholars Georg Hamann (Vienna), Verdiana Grossi (Geneva), and Guido Gruenewald (Bonn).
