PREFACE

After my graduation at the Faculty of Science in 1958, Cairo University, I preferred serving my country as a scientific officer at the Egyptian Armed Forces. I was lucky enough to have a direct contact with President Hosni Mubarak both at West Cairo Air base in 1960 and at the Air Force Headquarters for fifteen years.

It was by an act of God that I a good destiny to be nominated by the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign affairs to be sent on a four months mission to verify the chemical disarmament at University of Helsinki in Finland. I was awarded by Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland, in this field, my certificate as an International Chemical Warfare Inspector in 1990. In 29 January 1993 Director of Washington Office of The International Center for the Support of the Chemical Weapons Convention Preparatory Commission selected me as a member of the Advisory Board.

In as much I was serving in the Egyptian Armed Forces and joined in three conspicuous wars (1967 the Egyptian Israeli June war—1966 the Yemen war—1973 the Egyptian Israeli October war). Since that time, I devoted myself main endeavors of my life: the call for Peace for a Better World, a world that should be void of wars and destruction of all kinds.

Here, I introduce a brief survey biography of Dr. Abdel Hamid Badawi (Pasha), the pathfinder of "Peace for a Better World" who took part in founding the Charter of The United Nations on June 6th, 1945, and who was the first Arab to be elected as the International Court of Justice Judge in La Hey. During his second jurisdiction as a Judge he was elected as the International Court of Justice Deputy Judge through 1955-1958.

Dr. Abdel Hamid Badawi (Pasha) was a matchless guideline jurist of a unique mentality. He had a creative political energy and a pioneer character driven by innate and effluent patriotic feelings. He had a poetic perception with a deep and wide culture. He also had a pure disposition and an intelligent mind with a kind heart. Some people disagreed with him, others envied, but all respected him greatly.

That was Dr. Abdel Hamid Badawi (Pasha), the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Judge of the International Court of Justice, member of the Arabic Language Complex, the delicate Poet, and the unique legal negotiator.

Dr. Abdel Hamid Badawi (Pasha) was born in Alexandria in 1887, he spent his elementary school at the Strong Bond School or Al Orwatul Wuthqa School. Then he continued his education in one of the educational institutes in Medina in Saudi Arabia where he moved with his father. There he learnt Turkish, which was the dominant language in the Arab zone at that time. In 1897 he came back again with his family to Alexandria where he concluded the high school study. He, therefore, was a member of one of the first Egyptian class to graduate in the higher stage education. Knowing the study of law was to quench his thirst for justice and meet his natural faculties, he chose law as his major, though all his family members were well known merchants.

Therefore, in 1904, he joined the School of Law, named as such at that time instead of a college name. When he reached twenty one years, he got his law degree. He was about to be a lawyer but he found himself restrained from that study, so he turned the path away and preferred to work as the general attorney. Later, he was chosen as one of the first three pioneers to be syndicated to go abroad for their postgraduate study. At the age of twenty five, he was on a mission to Grenoble University in France to get PhD in Law with a high rank in the Civil Law. The French dean of the faculty wrote to the Egyptian Ministry of Education saying:

This dissertation will introduce a positive thesis in the history of study of law for all researchers who walk on the same path".

The thesis had a deep inference on the study of the Roman doctrines and showed how they arose. It was also a unique deep study for the French old doctrines of the middle ages.

Soon after his arrival to Egypt, he took over the position of a professor at School of Law, then took the command of a judge, and while Abdel Khaleq Tharwat Pasha, the Minister of Justice at that time, was on a work inspection tour in Tanta, specifically in 1921. He was so taken by that sagacious talented young judge that he offered him the position of a cabinet secretary-general. Through 1926 to 1940, he was appointed the Minister of Finance (Treasury). He had been continuously promoted and the trust in him was rising and growing so much that he was holding three critical positions at one time: he was the Royal Counselor, the State Causes Committee Chief, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Chancellor.

In 1945 and during the reign of Mr. Mahmud Fahmy Al Nuqrashy, Dr. Abdel Hamid Badawi (Pasha) was appointed as the Egyptian Minister of Foreign Affairs. Once again he was able to invest his potential and various experiences in serving his country. He headed the delegation that traveled to share constituting of the UN Charter in the San Francisco conference. He was seen there by his colleagues as the most initiative and most impressive deputy especially when he strongly opposed giving the super powers the VETO. He believed that the neonate organization (the UN) was the place where all nations should be treated equally in both rights and duties. His representation to Egypt in that conference was highly appreciated in both local and international spheres.

Later on, a group of candid people; namely, Dr.Abdel Hamid (Pasha), Mr. Abdel Aziz Fahmy (Pasha), and His Excellency Minister Helmy Bahgat Badawi (who was the president of The Suez Canal Authority), took on their shoulders the burden of translating the Charter of the United Nations into Arabic. This document is still being used up to this moment.

If is a well known matter of fact that the Egyptian Diplomat, Dr. Abdel Hamid (Pasha) had to support the rights of his homeland, Egypt. That was peculiar and exceptional at that of time where loyalty was devoted either to the High British Representative or to the King or even to the leaders of different parties aiming to achieve some personal interests. The loyalty of Dr. Abdel Hamid (Pasha) was entirely devoted to his country Egypt.

That was quite clear when he joined Mr. Abdel Khaleq Tharwat (Pasha) and Muhammad Mahmud (Pasha) in negotiations with Britain. He quoted and illustrated the best and ideal examples of his loyalty to his country and love of her independence at the Montero conference. He accurately planned and successfully accomplished this policy. As a result of this conference, capitulations were annulled and Egypt, in turn, reacquired its full executive, legislative and judicial authorities.

On 4th August, 1965 Dr. Abdel Hamid Badawi (Pasha) caught the last breath of his life and his soul passed away to meet the Creator of all creatures of this world. His commemoration and funeral oration were presented to all the world press agencies as well as the International Court of Justice, the United Nations Organization, the Arabic Language Complex and all the Jurists of Egypt. With all esteem, submissiveness and reverence every Egyptian should stand before this unique juristic icon to remember him as a star, a great figure of diplomatic negotiations and as a juristic miracle. For his most prominent role in Peace for a Better World, we should memorialize his character and pray that his soul rest in peace.

The goal of living, whatever it might be, could be pursued and attained more readily if one acted in accordance with the laws of peace and therefore realized optimum potential. If one did not do this he would be poorly prepared to achieve his objectives and would be constantly getting into war and difficulties

During my spiritual journey to attain self-peace I met several saints and all of them teach their devotees Truth, righteousness, Peace, Love and Non-violence to attain self-peace, spread WORLD PEACE and work for salvation in the midst of their worldly activities.
