SUMMARY:Gold Medal to Stéphane Hessel
DESCRIPTION:On 2 May\, at the Australian Ambassador’s Residence in Paris\, the Sydney Peace Foundation will award a posthumous Gold Medal for Human Rights to Stéphane Hessel for his life-long contribution to building a more peaceful and just society. \nStéphane Hessel\, a German born Jew whose family fled to France\, became a fighter in the French Resistance where he was captured\, tortured and escaped execution by the Nazis. On returning to Paris\, Hessel became a diplomat and was a one of twelve members of the committee who drafted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. As the French Ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva\, Hessel promoted non-violent responses to conflict and made many stands against human rights abuses. In 2009 he published the Book “Time For Outrage” which sold 4.5 million copies in 35 countries and is credited with being the catalyst for Occupy Movements around the world. \nStéphane Hessel was originally selected by the Sydney Peace Prize Jury to be the 16th recipient of the Prize. Sadly\, on 6 March 2013\, at 95-years old\, Hessel passed away quietly in his sleep. \nFollowing an address by Chair Stuart Rees\, and a reception hosted by Australian Ambassador to France Ric Wells\, the Gold Medal will be presented to Hessel’s widowed wife Madame Christane Hessel-Chabry. \nThe Foundation hopes that this award will help broadcast Hessel’s words of outrage and hope\, and that his legacy will continue to spread and inspire non-violent protests around the world. \nSee photos and a write-up of the event here: https://sydneypeacefoundation.org.au/2013-stephane-hessel/
