Invitation to Dr. Elie Wiesel to join the Network of Men Leaders

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.
