LISTEN TO THE LECTURE ON THIS YEAR´S PEACE PRIZE

Lecture by the Chair of the Nobel Committee Berit Reiss-Andersen about The Nobel Peace Prize for 2019 to Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2019 to Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali for his efforts to achieve peace and international cooperation. The prize was also meant to recognise all the stakeholders working for peace and reconciliation in Ethiopia and in the East and Northeast African regions.

Nobel Lecture 2019 – Abiy Ahmed Ali

The 2019 Nobel Peace Prize Exhibition is a portrait of this year´s Peace Prize Laureate PM Abiy Ahmed Ali, and Ethiopia´s ongoing process towards peace and democracy.

The exhibition is a portrait of the Laureate himself, but it is also a close-up on change, hope and challenges in his country. The Prime Minister of Ethiopia was awarded the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize for his reforms in his country and for his efforts to create peace with neighbouring country Eritrea.

Only days after the announcement of this year´s Laureate, award-winning photographer Finbarr O`Reilly traveled to Ethiopia, on assignment by the Nobel Peace Center, to create a series of photographs of the country and the Nobel Peace Prize Laureate.

"I had very limited time with the Laureate—just a few minutes to make a handful of portraits. So, I focused on documenting some of the political changes implemented by the Laureate, and how he has positioned himself to lead his country as it heads towards elections scheduled for next year," said O´Reilly when asked about the Nobel-assignment.

O´Reilly has captured some of the women assigned to power in Abiy´s new government and how the changes inflicts the society in Addis Ababa. He has also visited the disputed areas of the North were traces of the conflict with Eritrea still lingers.

In November 2018, Dr. Abiy appointed lawyer and women’s rights activist Meaza Ashenafi as President of the Federal Supreme Court of Ethiopia.

Ethiopia’s capital Addis Ababa has a thriving photograph scene which is also depicted in one part of the exhibition with photographs captured by Ethiopia´s seven highest ranking photographers, curated by Aida Muluneh. The images show the transition the county has gone through. 

A part of the exhibition shows works by Ethiopian photographers from Addis Photo Fest archives, co-curated by Aida Muluneh, Desta for Africa Creative Consulting Plc (DFA).

The Exhibition is supported by the City of Oslo, 5th element group and Canon (print&imaging partner).

Resolution 1325 was the outcome of intense lobbying by international civil society and women's organisations 'from below', diplomacy by individuals within the UN system 'from above', and a small group of UN member states, including Canada and Norway. Since the adoption of resolution 1325, civil society organisations have continued to play a vital role in shaping the WPS agenda and pushing it forward.

As resolution 1325 approaches its 20th anniversary, this seminar asks: how do women's civil society organisations and governments interact, differ and cooperate on the WPS agenda today? What are the challenges and opportunities facing civil society organisations when cooperating with states on international normative issues such as the WPS agenda?

 , a network of over 70 Canadian organisations and individuals committed to addressing issues of WPS. The network is committed to promoting and monitoring the efforts of the Government of Canada to implement and support the UN Security Council's resolutions on WPS. The network also provides a forum for exchange and action by Canadian civil society on issues related to WPS.
