LA HAYA, Holanda, 5 de noviembre de 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Hague Institute for Global Justice (Instituto de La Haya para la Justicia Mundial) ha nombrado al Dr. Abiodun Williams primer Presidente del Instituto. El Dr. Williams asumirá la presidencia el 1 de enero de 2013.  Actualmente es Vicepresidente Principal del Centro de Manejo de Conflictos en el United States Institute of Peace (Instituto de la Paz de los Estados Unidos, USIP) en Washington, DC.

La Junta del Hague Institute quisiera expresar su sincera gratitud al actual Decano, el profesor Willem van Genugten, por su importante contribución en la fase inicial del Instituto. Su  dedicación, su visión y su liderazgo han tenido una importancia invaluable para el desarrollo del enfoque del Instituto, sus métodos de trabajo y su posicionamiento.

La municipalidad de La Haya y varias instituciones académicas radicadas en La Haya fundaron el Hague Institute for Global Justice en junio de 2011, con el firme apoyo del gobierno holandés. El Instituto está radicado en una ciudad que ha sido un símbolo de paz y justicia por más de un siglo, empezando con la Primera Conferencia de Paz de La Haya en 1899. Está dedicado a resolver importantes cuestiones de justicia global desde una perspectiva interdisciplinaria, y a identificar soluciones prácticas y eficaces. A través de sus proyectos, el Instituto trata de destacar que la paz duradera, la seguridad y el desarrollo no se pueden lograr sin la justicia global y el respeto por el derecho internacional.

"Con gran satisfacción damos la bienvenida al Dr. Abiodun Williams como Presidente de The Hague Institute for Global Justice", dijo Jozias van Aartsen, presidente de la Junta del Instituto, alcalde de La Haya y ex ministro de Asuntos Exteriores. "Con su gran experiencia, tanto en el terreno como en la sede de las Naciones Unidas, será un líder inspirador de nuestro joven Instituto".

El doctor Williams se unió al USIP en 2008 y dirige su trabajo en zonas de conflicto como Afganistán, Pakistán, Irak, Libia, Túnez y Egipto. Antes de su puesto actual, fue Vicepresidente del Centro de Análisis y Prevención de Conflictos, y tuvo la principal responsabilidad por el trabajo del USIP en la prevención de conflictos, Irán y en nordeste de Asia.

Antes de entrar en el USIP, el Dr. Williams tuvo una exitosa carrera en las Naciones Unidas. De 2001 a 2007 fue Director de Planificación Estratégica para los secretarios generales de las Naciones Unidas Ban Ki-moon y Kofi Annan.  De 1994 a 2000 trabajó en tres operaciones de mantenimiento de la paz en Macedonia, Haití y Bosnia-Herzegovina como Asistente Especial del Representante Especial del Secretario General, y como Funcionario de Asuntos Políticos y Humanitarios.

El Dr. Williams también ha tenido una valiosa experiencia en el mundo académico. Ha sido Decano Adjunto del Africa Center for Strategic Studies en la National Defense University en Washington, DC, y tuvo cargos docentes en la Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service en la Georgetown University, la University of Rochester y la Tufts University.  Ha recibido varios premios, entre ellos el Dr. Jean Mayer Global Citizenship Award de la Tufts University y la Medalla Constantine E. Maguire de Georgetown. Es presidente del Consejo Académico en el Sistema de Naciones Unidas, y ha publicado muchos trabajos sobre prevención de conflictos y manejo de conflictos. El Dr. Williams recibió una maestría con honores en Lengua y Literatura Inglesa de la Edinburgh University, y una maestría en Derecho y Diplomacia, y un doctorado en Relaciones Internacionales de The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy.

"Es un honor dirigir The Hague Institute for Global Justice, que tiene un gran potencial de convertirse en un centro de expertos de reconocimiento internacional, y en una fuerza vital en la tarea difícil pero esencial de promover la paz y la justicia mundial. Espero trabajar con el personal, la Junta y el Consejo Asesor para cumplir la promesa del Instituto", dijo el Dr. Williams.

Madeleine K. Albright, presidenta del Consejo Asesor y ex secretaria de Estado de los Estados Unidos, dijo: "Conozco al Dr. Williams desde hace más de 25 años como un colega y amigo valioso. Estoy encantada con este nuevo nombramiento. Es la opción ideal para este puesto, y será un enorme aporte para The Hague Institute for Global Justice. El Dr. Williams es un líder brillante, talentoso e inspirador".
