warsaw world summit summary note october 2013:

The Solidarity Shorts International Film Contest 2013 Workshops are over.

The winners of the contest came to Poland, took part in an intensive Film Workshop at the Gdynia Film School and participated in the World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates in Warsaw. Overall, the entire experience can be best described through a series of pictures, available at our Facebook photo gallery.

 

The participants of the contest had these things to say at the end of their stay in Poland:

Rafael (Venezuela):

How to thank? It is precisely the question that I’ve been doing to myself the last few hours. Dear team of Solidarity Shorts, especially the organizers and representatives of Lech Walesa Institute, Jerzy and Patrycja, two weeks ago my passport was blank, empty. I had never left my country before. Almost a month ago I received the lovely news of winning a contest in Poland. Poland? I never thought it would be the first country to visit outside of my country. And now I say, Oh MY GOD! You all should see that Poland really is beautiful. Poland and its people. These two weeks with you were amazing. For me, it was like a new awakening. Receive film training in Gdynia Film School, participate of the World Summit of Nobel Peace Prize Laureates in Warsaw and visit the beautiful city of Krakow, is more than impressive. It’s awesome!. A dream come true. You took care of us extremely well, and we appreciate it from our hearts. I had the pleasure of meeting beautiful human beings from all over the world , many of them are human rights activists, people who are in tune with what we want: a global change to all live better. The tools I acquired thanks to you, I will use them and I will continue fighting for the noblest goals we have set. I hope to see you soon in Venezuela to do good things . THANK YOU! Receive my love and hugs.

Nabat (Ukraine):

It’s really been wonderful days! Communicating with people from different parts of the world. I very much hope that we will see you again!

Catalin (Romania):

I like very much, and i think this: Poland it’s a great country to represent Europe in first visit of anyone from outside. We have many beautiful countries in Europe, even Romania, but Poland it is great! Thank you Poland and, of course, Jerzy, Lech Walesa Institute and Gdynia Film School.

 

As organizers of Solidarity Shorts 2013 we wish to thank our partners – the Gdynia Film School, the Wajda School Foundation, the Polish Film Institute, the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Adam Mickiewicz Institute – for allowing this project to come to life. It has been a fantastic experience and we are looking forward to the 2014 edition. To everyone interested in next year’s edition of Solidarity Shorts, please follow the Solidarity Shorts website, our Facebook profile and our Twitter account.

Nobel peace laureates’ statement: nuclear abolition is a .. humanitarian imperative- world summit summary statement Oct 2013, Warsaw

Nuclear weapons are an existential threat to humanity, and must never be used again, under any circumstances. We therefore welcome the recent shift in the international discourse about nuclear weapons towards the recognition by a number of States that the catastrophic and irremediable consequences of the use of nuclear weapons require decisive action to outlaw and eliminate them.

The nature and scope of the medical, environmental, and humanitarian disaster that would result from any use of nuclear weapons was examined in detail at the Oslo conference on the Humanitarian Impact of Nuclear Weapons in March 2013, and will be the subject of a follow-up conference this February in Mexico.

We know, from the tragic experiences of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, that even a single nuclear weapon exploded over a city can kill tens of thousands of people in an instant and leave tens of thousands more with untreatable blast, burn, and radiation injuries. More recently, we have learned that a limited, regional nuclear war involving 100 Hiroshima-sized weapons—a fraction of current global arsenals—would disrupt the Earth’s climate and curtail agricultural production so severely that more than a billion people would be at risk of starvation from the resulting “nuclear famine.” A conflict employing the large arsenals of the US and Russia—which cannot be ruled out as long as the weapons exist—would threaten the very existence of everyone on Earth.

The continued possession of over 17200 nuclear weapons by nine countries, together with large amounts of fissile material with attendant proliferation risks, poses a real danger to the existence of humankind. The use of nuclear weapons by design or accident and by possessor states or nonstate actors threatens all of us.

The dangers that we face from nuclear weapons—and the humanitarian imperative to outlaw and eliminate them—have become a major focus of several official and unofficial gatherings of States in the past year, including preparatory meetings for the 2015 Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference, the meetings of the Open-Ended Working Group on nuclear disarmament, and the High-Level Meeting on Nuclear Disarmament at the UN General Assembly on September 26. We urge those States to take the next step and to initiate a process for a treaty that will ban nuclear weapons and, ultimately, abolish them before they abolish us.

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has said “there are no right hands for the wrong weapons.” This new humanitarian-based initiative to remove the most abhorrent weapons ever created from everyone’s hands, which is now supported by a growing number of States and by civil society, offers a pathway to a nuclear-weapons-free world that is inspiring, hopeful, and practical. We give this initiative our full endorsement.

Special Statement on Liu Xiaobo world summit october 2013

We deeply regret that our fellow Nobel Peace Laureate Liu Xiaobo cannot be here with us in Warsaw, Poland to celebrate human solidarity and peace. This distinguished writer and professor is a prisoner of conscience incarcerated in Jinzhou, Liaoning, China.

We respectfully call upon the government of China to release our fellow Nobel Peace Laureate Lui Xiaobo. He, like us, is an advocate for nonviolence, debate and dialogue. He has called for progress in democracy and citizen participation in governance. These are benefits not threats to any society.

China is a great nation with a growing dynamic economy. In recent years it has uplifted millions of its citizens from material poverty. It is time for China to demonstrate its full confidence in universal human rights and thus freedom of expression.

Human rights are inherent in our humanity; they are universal, not western or eastern. Our commitment to human solidarity compels us to call for the release of all prisoners of conscience everywhere.

We, As Nobel Peace Prize recipients, remind our Chinese friends that freedom of non-violent expression, freedom of speech and conscience, strengthen society and enhance culture, wellbeing, and the quality of life. Freeing our colleague Lui Xiaobo and other prisoners of conscience will be abenefit to China and the world.
