SUMMARY:Film: Triage\, Dr Orbinski’s Humanitarian Dilemma
DESCRIPTION:Join for a special documentary film screening of “Triage\, Dr. James Orbinski’s Humanitarian Dilemma”. \nTRIAGE follows the powerful odyssey of James Orbinski\, a humanitarian\, Nobel Peace Prize-winning doctor\, and former head of Doctors Without Borders\, as he returns to Africa to ponder the meaning of his life’s work and the value of helping others. Drawing on a lifetime of experience deep in the trenches of genocide and famine\, this extraordinary individual relives the triumphs and tragedies of relief work in Somalia\, Rwanda\, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The film will unsettle and move as it pointedly asks disturbing questions at the heart of the humanitarian dilemma. \nWhat can any one individual really do to bring peace to those who suffer? Where does humanitarianism end and raw politics begin? How does the sight of unspeakable evil affect the soul? Smartly directed by Patrick Reed\, this remarkable film provides no definitive answers\, but celebrates the best in the human spirit while staring unblinkingly at the worst. \nOrganized by the Consulate General of France in Atlanta and the Georgia Tech Center For Health and Humanitarian Systems (CHHS)\, this documentary film screening will serve as a link between the health and humanity issues addressed during the 2019 France-Atlanta Humanitarian Forum (November 8) and the CHHS Health Systems Next Generation Forum (November 12). Don’t Miss These Events! \n__\nThis event is part of #FranceAtlanta2019! \nCreated in 2010 by the Consulate General of France in Atlanta and Georgia Tech\, France-Atlanta is a series of events centered on innovation and designed to foster cooperation between France and the U.S. Southeast. \nDiscover this year’s events☞ https://france-atlanta.org

SUMMARY:Luncheon and Discussion with Colombian Ambassador Francisco Santos
DESCRIPTION:“Colombia – United States Relations: Today and Tomorrow” \nColombia is one of the oldest democracies in Latin America. The United States and Colombia share a commitment to promoting security\, prosperity\, and democratic governance in Colombia and across the Western Hemisphere. Today though a vibrant democracy and a growing market oriented economy\, Colombia under the guidance of President Ivan Duque’s government faces major internal and external challenges\, and the Venezuelan crisis has added a layer of civic turmoil to a nation already facing monumental challenges. \n \nAccording to the United Nations\, 1.4 million Venezuelans have fled to Colombia. Historically\, Colombia has always been generous with its neighbor\, Venezuela\, but a half century of dealing with internal insurrection has diminished its capacity to deal with one of the worse humanitarian crises in regional history.\n \nAbout Ambassador Francisco Santos: \nAmbassador Santos is a former Vice President of Colombia (2002-2010); journalist\, political\, and citizen participation activist. \nHead of national debate of the Democratic Center Party in 2017\, he ran for Mayor of Bogota on the Democratic Center Party ticket in 2015. He created the Fundación Confianza Colombia\, promoting democracy and citizen participation in public affairs\, as well as developing ideas in the political\, economic and social spheres. \nAs Vice President during the Uribe administration\, his policy priorities were the fight against corruption\, extortion and kidnapping and ridding the country of anti-personnel mines. In that role\, he also led Colombia’s international promotion of trade\, investment and tourism. \nDue to threats from the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC)\, he was exiled in Madrid\, Spain\, for two years (2000-2002). Previous to that\, in 1990 Santos was kidnapped for eight months on orders from drug trafficker Pablo Escobar. He founded the world’s first NGO against kidnapping\, Fundación País Libre and promoted the Anti-Kidnapping Statute\, the first and\, to date\, only law proposed and tabled by public petition via signature collection in Colombia. \nLunch is provided with registration.

SUMMARY:Beyond Oil in the Middle East
DESCRIPTION:The attack on the Aramco oil facilities. \nIt created alarm not only in Saudi Arabia\, but also in the United Arab Emirates and especially in Israel. It demonstrated the new capacity of the more accurate Iranian weapons systems and their strategy of using military force openly but through supposed surrogates giving Iran a fig leaf of deniability. \nThe withdrawal of US forces from northeast Syria and the direct intervention by Turkey appears to have worked to the advantage of Turkey\, Russia\, Iran and the government of Syria. How about civilians? \nThis is complex and no one better than Ambassador Thomas Pickering to unpack how the shift in US policy will affect the balance of power in the Middle East and how US policy will affect Iran’s development of nuclear weapons. \nAbout Ambassador Thomas R. Pickering \nHolds the rank of Career Ambassador\, the highest in the U.S. Foreign Service. In a diplomatic career spanning five decades\, he was U.S. ambassador to Israel\, the Russian Federation\, India\, El Salvador\, Nigeria\, Jordan and the United Nations. He also served as Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs.

SUMMARY:Moon Jae-in Government's Vision for the Korean Peninsula Peace Process - Transforming the DMZ into an International Peace Zone
DESCRIPTION:In the aftermath of World War II\, Korea was divided into two zones with the Soviets in the north and Americans in the south. On June 25\, 1950 North Korea invaded the South. United Nations’ forces responded\, countering the attack. Chinese intervention on November 1\, 1950 led to intensive warfare. An armistice was finally agreed to on July 27\, 1953. \nIn the years since\, violent incidents perpetrated by the North along the 38th Parallel\, in nearby waters\, and elsewhere have contributed to much tension on the Korean peninsula. North Korea’s bid to become a nuclear power continues in the face of South Korean and American efforts to dissuade the latest Kim to abandon his nuclear quest. \nMoreover\, three generations of despotic rule by the Kim family\, characterized by sham elections and a Stalinist totalitarian dictatorship\, have resulted in a nation that often confronts famine and a population that chronically suffers from malnutrition. A 2014 UN inquiry into human rights in North Korea concluded that\, “The gravity\, scale and nature of these violations reveal a state that does not have any parallel in the contemporary world.” \nIn stark contrast to the dystopian North\, South Korea today is a vibrant democracy\, has highly developed economy\, with the world’s second best healthcare system\, and is a major global trading power. Ironically\, China\, which has long supported North Korea\, has become South Korea’s largest trading partner. \nACIR is honored to host Ambassador Chang Jae-bok\, Deputy Foreign Minister\, Republic of Korea\, who will discuss the “Moon Jae-in government’s Vision for the Korean Peninsula Peace process – Transforming the DMZ into an International Peace Zone.” \nAmbassador Chang Jae-bok was appointed Ambassador for Public Diplomacy at the Republic of Korea’ Ministry of Foreign Affairs in May 2019. \nPreviously\, he served as the Deputy Minister for Protocol Affairs and as the Ambassador for the Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie. He also served as Director for the Human Rights and Social Affairs Division as well as the Protocol Division\, Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Overseas\, his most recent post was as the Consul-General of Korea in Milan and before that as the deputy Permanent Delegate to UNESCO in Paris. He was also posted in the Korean Embassies in France\, the Swiss Confederation\, the Republic of Ghana as well as the Korean Permanent Mission to the United Nations in New York. \n\nRegistration fee includes a 3-course luncheon.\nThe Luncheon/Discussion will take place in the Alexandria Room.\nThe luncheon will be followed by a reception\, hosted by the Consulate of the Republic of Korea\, with the ambassador and his team.
