Subject: UNESCO Awarded Medal To General [COMETA] Norlain


Same General Norlain involved with COMETA.

I have a thing with UNESCO being more in control than everyone
else thinks. They refer a lot to 'temples'. It might make you go
hmmm or it may not.

UNESCO Director-General Awards Gold Mahatma Gandhi Medal To
French General Norlain - [18 March 1999]


Paris, March 18 {No.99-54} - UNESCO Director-General Federico
Mayor today attributed the gold Mahatma Gandhi medal to retired
French General Bernard Norlain in recognition of his leading
role in conflict prevention and in the promotion of a culture of
peace.

General Norlain has held senior positions during his 36 years in
the French Air Force. Between 1986 and 1989, he was chief
military assistant to French prime ministers Jacques Chirac and
Michel Rocard. He then commanded France's defence and tactical
air forces, and directed the French Institute for Advanced
Studies on National Defence, the Institut des hautes études de
défense nationale (IHEDN). In 1995, UNESCO and IHEDN jointly
organised the International Symposium From Partial Insecurity to
Global Security which brought together representatives of many
defence institutes and made possible the promotion of a new
approach to security, based on the needs of populations.

In awarding the medal, Mr Mayor said it should be viewed as a
sixth star to be added to the general's five: "a very special
star spreading the light of peace, dialogue and tolerance, of
non-violence, the star of the culture of peace." He thanked him
for his contribution to the dialogue between UNESCO and defence
institutes and through them "with the armed forces which are
destined to become active partners in the promotion of the
culture of peace."

After praising the brave idea which enabled military to
co-operate with the "temple of education and culture which is
UNESCO," General Norlain recalled that "peace, like a medal, has
two sides: the humanistic and cultural project and security." He
added: "There can be no democracy without peace and no peace
without security, or stability. Civil society must not be
pitched against military society. There is one society and it
must take part in the same democratic project."
