HH Dalai Lama's Appeal Regarding Tibet Protests and Human Rights

This document, appearing to be a proposal or an internal note from Elie Wiesel to Jean-David Levitte, outlines an "International Nobel Prize Colloquium: Whither the 21st Century." The proposed event, tentatively scheduled for May-June 2010, aims to gather approximately fifty Nobel laureates and other influential personalities. The program is designed for two or three days, featuring four commissions dedicated to politics & economy, history & crises, power & ethics, and media & human rights. It also includes two daily plenary sessions and evening concerts with distinguished musicians. The document states that invitations would be extended by the President of the Republic and Elie Wiesel himself, reminiscent of a similar event in 1988. The colloquium is planned to conclude with the publication of a manifesto addressing major challenges facing the current generation. A handwritten note at the bottom, likely from Elie Wiesel, asks "My dear Jean-David... what do we do with it?" or "what do we make of it?".

A letter from the Palace of Monaco, dated May 11, 2006, thanks Mr. Elie Wiesel for accepting to preside over the jury of a special prize to be presented at the inaugural Monaco Media Forum (October 19-21, 2006). The letter highlights the forum's aim to gather media and communications leaders and venture capitalists, and its importance in drawing attention to freedom of expression and information, liberties still denied to a large part of the world's population. The author notes that the prize's description, focusing on "Innovative use of Media for the betterment of humanity," is still evolving and invites Mr. Wiesel's suggestions for nominees. The letter is signed by "Albert de Monaco," referring to Prince Albert II of Monaco.

This document is a three-page fax from Jack Lang to Elie Wiesel. The first page is a fax cover sheet dated September 10, 2003 (though the transmission report indicates June 5, 2003), introducing the new Air France Director in New York, Monsieur Marie-Joseph Malé, and providing his contact details. The subsequent two pages contain a reflective essay or speech fragment, likely authored by Jack Lang, addressed informally to "Elie." The text discusses the urgent lessons learned from past errors, emphasizing the supreme duty to expose and denounce evil. It highlights the international community's delayed but eventual intervention in Bosnia and Kosovo, contrasting it with a perceived failure to act in Tibet and Rwanda. The author stresses the moral role of conscience in public affairs and praises the engagement of young people in the fight for human rights, which has become a "secular religion" for them. The essay concludes by quoting Albert Camus: "There is more to celebrate in man than to denigrate," questioning if this holds true for the coming century. The overall theme is a call for vigilance, solidarity, and active protest against injustice and indifference.
