Since its unveiling on
London’s Trafalgar Square in April 2016, the Arch has been on public display
around the world. The structure is a symbol of the triumph of cooperation over
conflict, optimism over despair, and human ingenuity over senseless
destruction.
On 25th and
26th April, with the support of the Government of Switzerland, UNESCO
is organising one of the most important conferences of 2019 on the subject of
cultural heritage protection, “Protecting Cultural Property: International
Conference on the 20th Anniversary of the 1999 Second Protocol to the 1954
Hague Convention”.
A first-of-its-kind
meeting, the UNESCO conference will bring together State representatives,
stakeholders, and international experts to reflect on the achievements of the
Second Protocol to the 1954 Convention — a key landmark in international
humanitarian and cultural protection policy.
Switzerland and Geneva
are proud to underline their commitment to peacebuilding and cultural
protection through the support of these initiatives.

The
Palace of Nations, Geneva, Switzerland
It served as the headquarters of the
It served as the headquarters of the
The Palace is located in Ariana
Park, which was bequeathed to the City of Geneva in 1890. The park also
contains a 1668 chalet.
The League of Nations, abbreviated
as LN or LoN, (French: La Société des Nations, meaning "Society of
Nations") was an intergovernmental organisation founded on 10 January 1920 as a result of the Paris Peace Conference that ended
the First
World War. It was the first worldwide intergovernmental
organisation whose principal mission was to maintain world peace.
The League oversaw the Permanent
Court of International Justice and several other agencies and commissions
created to deal with pressing international problems. These included the
Disarmament Commission, the International Labour Organization (ILO), the Mandates Commission, the International
Commission on Intellectual Cooperation[76] (precursor to UNESCO),
the Permanent Central Opium Board, the Commission for Refugees, and the Slavery
Commission.[77] Three of these institutions were
transferred to the United Nations after the Second World War: the International
Labour Organization, the Permanent Court of International
Justice (as the International Court of Justice), and
the Health Organisation[78] (restructured as the World Health Organization).[79]
The Permanent Court of International Justice was provided for by
the Covenant, but not established by it. The Council and the Assembly
established its constitution. Its judges were elected by the Council and the
Assembly, and its budget was provided by the latter. The Court was to hear and
decide any international dispute which the parties concerned submitted to it.
It might also give an advisory opinion on any dispute or question referred to
it by the Council or the Assembly. The Court was open to all the nations of the
world under certain broad conditions.[80]
The International Labour Organization was created in 1919 on the basis of Part XIII of the
Treaty of Versailles.[81] The ILO, although having the same
members as the League and being subject to the budget control of the Assembly,
was an autonomous organisation with its own Governing Body, its own General
Conference and its own Secretariat. Its constitution differed from that of the
League: representation had been accorded not only to governments but also to
representatives of employers' and workers' organisations.
The Peace Conference adopted
the principle that these territories should be administered by different governments
on behalf of the League – a system of national responsibility subject to
international supervision.[105] This plan, defined as the mandate system, was adopted by
the "Council of Ten" (the
heads of government and foreign ministers of the main Allied powers: Britain,
France, the United States, Italy, and Japan) on 30 January 1919 and transmitted
to the League of Nations
Beneath the Palace's foundation stone is a time capsule containing a document
listing the names of the League of Nations member states, a copy of the Covenant
of the League, and specimen coins of all the countries represented
at the league's Tenth Assembly. A medal showing the Palace of Nations with
the Jura Mountains in
the background was struck in silvered bronze.[6]
The building overlooks Lake Geneva and has a clear view of
the French Alps.
The Celestial Sphere
Woodrow Wilson Memorial, Ariana Park, Palais des Nations, Geneva, Switzerland.
It was donated in 1939 by the Woodrow
Wilson Foundation to
what was then the League of Nations building. Known also as the Woodrow
Wilson Memorial Sphere of the Palais des Nations it is today a symbol
of Geneva International and of Geneva as the centre of dialogue and peace.

"The Rebirth" - a sculpture for the United Nations by
Michelangelo Pistoletto
https://youtu.be/QkFvmep-Fsk - UN
Geneva - Published on Oct 8, 2015
The renowned artist Maestro Michelangelo Pistoletto has
created a sculpture for the 70th anniversary of the United Nations called
"The Rebirth".
The sculpture
contains 193 marble stones, each representing one of the 193 UN Member States,
and will be located at UN Geneva. Its shape is a configuration of the
mathematical sign for 'infinity'.
Symbolizing the ‘rebirth’ of society, and a new world, the Rebirth sends a
strong global message of our shared commitment to peace, rights and well-being
for all as the United Nations enters its seventieth year.
"The stones represent rebirth, unity, the act of
uniting - the United Nations" - in this short video Pistoletto explains
his artistic inspiration and you can glimpse behind the scenes at his workshop
Cittadellarte Fondazione Pistoletto.
Rebirth will be unveiled on Saturday 24 October, the UN's
70th anniversary, as part of a grand Open Day of UN Geneva's office the Palais
des Nations. Everyone is invited to this public event - you can find all the
info here: www.unog.ch/OpenDay .

SESAME: CERN helps
plant a seed of peace in the Middle East / Jordan
In One Thousand and One Nights, ‘open sesame’ are the magic
words that allow Ali Baba to access a hidden treasure of untold riches. In the
1990s this classic tale inspired physicists at the European Organization for
Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva to ask whether the CERN model of science and
peace could be replicated in the Middle East. It took years of hard work and
complex negotiations to bring the dream to life. The new centre is called
SESAME.
Building a culture of peace …
At the European Cultural Conference in Lausanne in 1949, de Rougemont had first
proposed the idea of establishing what came to be known as CERN
Al Balqa, Jordan
The Synchrotron-Light for Experimental
Science and Applications in the Middle East (SESAME) is an independent laboratory located in Allan in the Balqagovernorate of Jordan, created under the auspices of UNESCO on 30 May 2002.
The laboratory was inaugurated on 16 May 2017
under the patronage and presence of King Abdullah II.[2]

“The World Between

daughter of Moqim, (granddaughter of) Malku from Palmyra, which, according to
expert estimates, was created in the late 2nd or early 3rd century.
he New York Metropolitan Museum’s “The World Between
Empires” will feature around 190 antique sculptures, murals, pieces of
jewellery and other objects from the Middle East from Monday to June 23.
On the one hand, the exhibition deals with culture, religion
and trade in antiquity, but on the other it also raises “complex questions
about the preservation of cultural heritage,” says museum director Max Hollein.
The New York Metropolitan Museum at Central Park in

displays replica of destroyed Palmyra altar
Tuesday 23 April 2019
A replica of a worship
niche belonging to the 2,000-year-old
Temple of Bel at Palmyra was displayed in the National Museum of Damascus
on Tuesday.
Using 3D imaging and
stonework, an Italian team reconstructed the altar after it was destroyed by
the Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) during seize of Palmyra back in
2015.
"We are honoured
that Syria accepted this gift which we made out of friendship for your country,"
said Frances Pinnock of the Sapienza University of Rome who had headed the
reconstruction team.
"We hope …
Palmyra will become again the bride of the desert," she added.
The National Museum of
Damascus is further adorned by 2nd-century murals, elaborate tombs, and the
recently restored Lion of al-Lat,
which originally stood guard at the
National Museum of Palmyra but was whisked away to Damascus for
safeguarding

It was placed in

BEIRUT, LEBANON (3:20

planning an offensive to retake the ancient city of Palmyra in the eastern
countryside of the Homs Governorate.
A source from the
Syrian Army in eastern Homs said they have discovered an Islamic State plot to
not only retake land in central Syria, but also recapture the key city of
Palmyra in the process.

site.
Moscow will be hoping that images of its classical musicians in Syria
