ROLE OF MEDIA IN THE EMERGING NEW WORLD ORDER

Dear conference participants, ladies and gentlemen!

I feel contentment for participating in this grandiose conference and I warmly greet all of you. I want to mention with great satisfaction that current conference is dedicated to the discussion of the most world global issues and I also, being the appreciator of democracy, peace, security, nuclear disarmament, human rights protection, justice, healthy ecology and equality in the world applaud this arrangement.

We live in more developed but very perturbated worried world in last decade. In different parts of the world – in Africa, Asia, Caucasus and in other regions there are military conflicts and wars which remain unsolved and their solution has certain difficulties. People are divided into high and low levels depending on their nationality, race and religion, and all people and countries have the right to live peace, security, they have equal rights. I think, as the main idea of this conference is «The main justice in the world» just combines all these human values in itself and there is great necessity for emerging new world orders in order to achieve these values. The famous Indian City Montessori School (CMS) has done and is going to do great work in this direction.

In the establishment of the school, taking as a criterion word of an ancient Indian philosophy Vasundhauv Kutumbakam «All world as a family» and choosing as a motto Mahatma Gandhi’s word «Do kindness to all world» by creators of the school miss and mister Gandhi’s has to draw everybody to think and struggle for there. Especially, the media organizations and mass media has to work in this direction for emerging new world orders for supporting peace and security, human rights protection and for obtaining equality, and all media organizations have to come together realizing of this idea. It is an undenied fact that, today there is no enough guarantee for establishment after peace and security and there are emptiness in the activity of Security Council and in General Assembly of the United Nations in this direction. The resolutions accepted by UN on military conflicts and regional security in many cases remain unfulfilled. I am as a citizen of a country which is involved in the conflict since1988, and from the beginning of 1990th to intensive war and more than 20% of its total territory is occupied by Armenia, being the inhabitant of Garabagh region native land, in his house, his relatives and most of his relatives live in under miserable circumstance up to day I can say that four decisions of the UN which required from Armenia to release the occupied territories of Azerbaijan are still remain on papers. Such kind of facts are still existing.

The existence of the planet in peace, security and without nuclear weapons and the idea of friendship and equality of all people all over the world is the standing theme of media. Today, the ideology of struggle against, international terrorism, kinds of wars, regional conflicts, violence of international law, corruption, narcobizness and conflicts occurred on the National background and the wishes on emerging new world orders what will be able to prevent occurring of such kind of cases became the focus of daily activity of mass media. Of course, media members are undergo death, prosecution, violence in their activity and they are involved in the unnecessary court conflicts. According to being the director of IPI in Azerbaijan I can say that, up to the definite period the number of murdered journalists in 2004 is over one hundred. In comparison in 2002, the member of dead journalist is more in 30 persons. Since occupation from March up to day in Iraq of the number death journalists were 62 people. There is such a saying that the 2004 can be written in the history as the worst year on number of death journalists.

The pursuits are going to be continued. For example, after 18 months release Mordechai Vanunu for spreading information about the nuclear arsenal of Israel after 6 months again was arrested by the Israel police. Because his information confirms the opinion of experts that Israel is one of the six biggest countries in the world for keeping the nuclear arsenal. At last, democracy and free media established on behalf of the journalists is achieved by daily losts among them. I regret that, international structures and international organization on human rights protect: on very occasionally defense the rights media members the rights who fight against terrorism and military conflict.

I want to mention that at present time military expenses per man increased and reached the level of 159 $ USA. There are 19 military conflicts in the world which still going on. But it is important fact that all conflicts solve by peacefully.

By the way, I would like to note that International Eurasia Press Fund (IEPF) lead by me was established in 1992, in period when the territories of Azerbaijan was occupied by Armenian aggressory and the aggressive war was intensified. And the main goal of IEPF from the first day was to get the true information from the conflict zones, to bring it to world community notice and to direct the mass media representatives’ attention to this direction. So the IEPF, organized more than 100 visits of people diplomats, educators and journalists from the different countries of the world to the conflict zone. We joined to the struggle on military conflicts, violence’s, terrorism, not only for Garabagh conflict, but in Caucasus human rights, wholly in the world. From the first period the IEPF chose the motto “Peace at home, peace in the country, peace in the world” as a direction of its activity, as a media organization the IEPF actively joined the peacekeeping actions. From 1999 the IEPF is the participant of the Countries of Independent Community and the member of working group on control and prevention conflicts. Besides, organization is a member of Survey Group on controlling crisis in South Caucasus of concorsium partnership for Peace of Defense Academy and Security Investigation Institute within “Marshal” center. For obtained success in peacekeeping actions Fund became a member of International Peace Bureau since 2001

Basing on my own experience I can say from my experience that media can and has to play the leading role in the emerging of new world orders that will serve to establish of peace, security and equality. Because the victory of human ideas and values is the main aim of media to be achieved.

In all countries of the world the society is controlled by the low. That is why, present situation in the world demands to create the International Law which will be accepted and used by all continues of the world. Of course, International Parliament can adopt this Low. As usual, great and sustainable mission falls on media. Media as usual has to demonstrate its bellicosity, great solidarity and has to use its propagandist, organizing, mobilization ability and maximum role in the emerging of and accepting the new world law. International Media organizations have to take active part in emerging of new world orders in order to achieve development of peace, security, nuclear disarmament, human rights protection, worldwide citizenship and global management, safe and healthy in the world. International Peace Bureau, International Journalist Federation, International Institute for News Security, International Freedom of Expression Exchange, World Free Media Committee, Journalists Protection Committee, Reporters without Borders and other media organizations have to conduct awareness and coordinating works among media organizations.

It is important to provide participation of famous media organizations and their members in preparation of International Law regulation that reflex new world orders. Of course, in this case UN has to support these organizations.

At the end of my speech, I express my heartily gratitude to all members of the conference and I feel contentment for being participator in this conference which dedicated to the discussion of important human issues. I believe that conference conducted in the frame of very principal and efficient discussion will give its successful results, and decision it accept will be a document which will stimulate world to the security planet for everybody despite their race, nationality, religion and guarantee for peace in the world.

Thank you for your attention.
