Oscar was born in 1941 in the town of Heredia to one of Costa Rica's richest coffee-growing families. When Oscar was just seven years old, Costa Rica made the historic decision to abolish its standing army. Thus, Oscar grew up in Central America's only country that did not rely on military might to ensure its security. After studying at the Colegio Saint Francis in San Jose, Oscar went to the United States and studied medicine at Boston University. Inspired by the political debates of the times, Oscar returned to Costa Rica to study law and economics.

News Oscar Arias Sanchez, Nobel Peace Prize Winner, to Speak at Law School Former president of Costa Rica, Oscar Arias Sanchez spoke as a guest of the International Law Society on Friday, April 2, 1999 in Room 102. President Arias spoke about his efforts to eliminate military spending in Central America and other regions of the world in hopes of promoting human rights, democratic society, and a peaceful future. Because the poorest nations cannot depend on free trade, foreign direct investment, foreign aid, and debt forgiveness, they must provide their own resources to give their populations the opportunity for a proper education and advancement. He also stressed the need for the United States to provide world leadership on moral grounds. In 1987, Costa Rican President Oscar Arias Sanchez garnered world recognition when he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his work in ending the Nicaraguan civil war.

TOWARDS THE AMERICAS OF THE YEAR 2005: DEMOCRACY, DEVELOPMENT AND PROSPERITY Speech delivered during the Opening conference Nobel Peace Prize Winner (1987) President of the Republic of Costa Rica (1986-1990) This document is a translation. The Spanish version is the official text. Ladies and Gentlemen, Dear friends, The economic integration process in our Hemisphere must be designed while drawing on the lessons of nearly two centuries of political relations between our peoples, always united, despite their diversity, around aspirations and principles of justice and democracy. However, the American nations must not ignore the lessons bestowed upon humanity by the two greatest integrationist experiments of our century: the now vanished Soviet Union and the ever more vigorous European Union. The basic common element in these two political experiences is a process of economic integration accompanied by profound political and social transformations. In the former case, there was a pretension of arriving, in the long term, at an egalitarian democracy, which was belied from the outset by the ignoring of fundamental freedoms, the violation of human rights and the militarization of society. In the latter case, the success of economic integration was the result of certain commitments with regard to peace, democracy and social justice, reasonably respected by the Western European societies. While the Soviet integrationist attempt, condemned to failure, as we have seen, was based upon the totalitarian indoctrination of its societies, the European Union rigorously closed its doors to the countries governed by antidemocratic regimes. In this contrast, one can see evidence that the strengthening of democracy is a sine qua non condition for an economic integration process to succeed and to have the possibility of attaining permanence. Such a strengthening depends, in turn, on political system's ability to face the challenges of fighting against poverty, inequality and violence, which are among the most urgent for the majority of the countries of our Hemisphere.

Dispel the familiar images dancing through your head right now; this is neither the fanatical jogger nor King George's dad. Nobel Peace Prize recipient Oscar Arias Snchez, once leader of Costa Rica a country amazing for its lack of a standing army has been invited to give a speech on the harmful effects of globalization and militarization on democracy, and the need for global justice. Responsible for his appearance is the Pendle Hill Peace Network, a Quaker-based organization promoting peace activism and research. Snchez is here to participate in the network's weekly Forum, a series of lectures from both activists and academics already committed to working for a peaceful word and for direct resistance to oppression, according to John Meyer, the Forum's organizer. The network itself, he says, was conceptualized just after 9/11 based on the belief that those studying the preconditions for a peaceful world and conflict resolution need to have as much intense work and dedication as the Roves and the Rumsfelds of the world put into planning for war. Snchez's monumental experience with peace work should prove an insightful jumping-off point in this organization's search for sustained peace.
