So a professor apparently nominated me to attend the 12th World Summit of Nobel Peace Lauretes (http://www.nobelsummitchicago.org) in Chicago next month. I'll get to see two panels, one on nuclear non-proliferation and the other being the closing panel. But I actually know very little about any of these people. I will obviously do research of my own, but I'd appreciate it if anyone could post any cool info they have (links, sources, anecdotes, etc.).
The panelists are:
“A World Without Nuclear Weapons”
Moderator: Jim Wooten
Panelists to include:
President Oscar Arias
Dr. Shirin Ebadi
Mrs. Ingeborg Breines, International Peace Bureau
International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War
Dr. Jayantha Dhanapala, PUGWASH Conferences
“A Final Conversation with the Laureates”
Moderator: Jim Wooten
Panelists to include:
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
President Mikhail Gorbachev
Professor Jody Williams
Ms. Tawakkol Karman
