Kjell Magne Bondevik Former Prime Minister of Norway. President of the Oslo Center for Peace and Human Rights.
How did you end up working for peace, democracy and promotion of human rights? I got increasingly interested in questions relating to human rights, democracy and peace at the end of my political career. Thus, I decided to work with and for the promotion of human rights and with questions relating to the advancement of stable democracies around the world. After retiring from politics I found it appropriate to establish the Oslo Centre for Peace and Human Rights in order to work towards such goals.
What are the main objectives of the Oslo Center? The Oslo Center’s vision is a world consisting of stable democracies that respect equality and human rights. By being an independent, professional, politically relevant and non-partisan democracy assistance centre, the Oslo Center will assist fragile states and vulnerable democracies in strengthening their democratic political institutions and processes.
If you could give one thing (non-material) to future generations, what would it be? The Bible.
