Conflict studies institute launched
Former Northern Ireland arms decommissioning inspector Martti Ahtisaari will officially launch a new conflict studies institute at Queen’s University Belfast today.
The ex-president of Finland has won the Nobel Peace Prize for his work on helping end violence around the world. In 2000 he surveyed IRA arms dumps for the International Independent Commission on Decommissioning (IICD) as part of the peace process.
