Ett föredrag från Tyresö historiedag 5 juni där författaren och tidigare diplomaten Staffan Carlsson berättar om sin bok "Helgon och maktspelare - Dag Hammarskjöld som politiker". Var han en principfast FN-chef på kant med stormakterna? Staffan menar att Hammarskjöld var ute efter resultat. Han samarbetade nära med USA. Behövde han tänja på principerna, så gjorde han det. Hammarskjöld ses med rätta som den bäste generalsekreterare FN haft. Producent: Ann Sandin-Lindgren. Här kan man lyssna på fler seminarier från Tyresö historiedag.

Fredagen den 5 juni var det dags igen för den årliga historiedagen på Tyresö Slott där lärare och andra intresserade bjuds in till intressanta föreläsningar. Tyresöradions Ann Sandin-Lindgren var på plats och intervjuade arrangörerna Mats Fält och Martin Englund samt spelade in fyra av seminarierna i sin helhet. Det var Staffan Carlsson - Dag Hammarskjöld, Kjell Östberg - Socialdemokratins väg från Palm till Andersson, Magnus Linton - Knark : svensk narkotikahistoria och Åsa Linderborg Tjabo: en bok om kungen. Här kommer man att kunna höra årets föreläsningar och även tidigare års föreläsningar på slottet.

O neviditelné nemoci, dekreaci, posvátnu a hledání smyslu.Mluvíme o tom, co se stane, když přestaneš být režisérem vlastního filmu a začneš ubírat místo přidávat. Proč se tvůj mozek může chovat jednou jako demokrat, který si se svými přesvědčeními povídá, a podruhé jako král, který se stane tyranem. Jak meditace a psychedelika dokážou na chvíli udělat v hlavě anarchii, ze které může vyvstat něco nového. A proč pocit posvátna mění tvoje zdraví, i když v nic nevěříš.Je to díl o malém a velkém já, o tom, jak si dovolit cítit úplně všechno, a o jedné větě, která tě dokáže zasáhnout přímo do srdce.

Iemand wat jy ontmoet, kan ongelooflik slim en suksesvol wees, maar jy kyk net een keer na hom en binne ongeveer drie sekondes kom jy tot die gevolgtrekking dat jy hom nooit as "wys" sou bestempel nie. In die 1950's en vroeë 60's het Dag Hammarskjöld, ‘n Sweedse diplomaat, as die Sekretaris-Generaal van die Verenigde Nasies gedien. In 'n wêreld vol Koue Oorlog-spanning, jaloesie en politieke valsheid, het Hammarskjöld stilweg 'n ander soort leierskap gehad. Hy was gekenmerk deur nederigheid, vaste morele beginsels en 'n diep persoonlike geloof in God.Sy lewe is deur tye van afsondering, gebed en diens, eerder as ambisie of magsvertoon, gekenmerk. Sy joernaal, Markings, het 'n lewe onthul wat nie deur ego nie, maar deur oorgawe, gekenmerk is.Terwyl sy tydgenote na politieke mag gehunker het, het hy vrede begeer - en hy is bestempel as ‘n nederige krag vir geregtigheid en versoening. Hy is, op ‘n missie om ‘n wapenstilstand in die Kongo te onderhandel, in 'n geheimsinnige vliegtuigongeluk dood. Hy het 'n bonatuurlike, goddelike soort wysheid gehad. Na sy dood is hy met ‘n Nobel Vredesprys geëer en bestempel as die grootste staatsman van die vorige eeu.Jakobus 3:16-17 want waar jaloesie en selfsugtige ambisie is, dáár sal jy ook wanorde en allerhande gemene dade kry.

In dieser Folge führen Patrick und Steve die Reihe zu den Generalsekretären fort. Diesmal steht Dag Hammarskjöld, der zweite UN-Generalsekretär, im Zentrum. Dieser wurde nach dem Rücktritt von Trygve Lie überraschend in das Amt gewählt und leitete die Weltorganisationen von 1953 bis 1961. Bis heute gilt er als eine der prägendsten Figuren der UN. Warum das so ist, besprechen Patrick und Steve im Laufe der Folge. Dabei gehen sie auch auf Hammarskjölds Werdegang, seine Amtsführung sowie zentrale Herausforderungen, mit denen er sich konfrontiert sah, ein.Zu Beginn der Folge gibt Patrick zusätzlich einen Überblick über den aktuellen Stand zur Generalsekretärswahl, da am 21. und 22. April in New York die Anhörungen der vier aktuellen Kandidatinnen und Kandidaten Michelle Bachelet, Rafael Grossi, Rebeca Grynspan und Macky Sall stattgefunden haben.   InhaltÜberblick: Aktuelles zur Auswahl des UN-Generalsekretärs (01:33)Dag Hammarskjöld als Person (11:56)Dag Hammarskjöld als UN-Generalsekretär (16:06)Lehren und Implikationen für die Gegenwart (01:06:15)Shownotes (01:13:39)Weiterführende Informationen Hennig Melber und Manuel Fröhlich, Die Hammarskjöld-Tradition in der internationalen Politik.

What if picking up a book could become a form of prayer? In this conversation, host John Terrill sits down with Jeff Crosby — publisher, author, and lifelong champion of the written word — to talk about his book World of Wonders: A Spirituality of Reading (Paraclete Press, 2025).Jeff brings more than four decades in bookselling and publishing to a deeply personal question: why should we read? His own reading life began with Sunday comics in the Indianapolis Star and baseball biographies, until one book — The Admiral's Daughter, heard about on Good Morning America — “flipped a switch” and opened, in his words, “this idea of a world of wonder.” From there, a career took shape: 13 years as a bookseller, 24 years at InterVarsity Press (ultimately as its publisher), and now as president of ECPA, the trade association of Christian publishing.In this episode, John and Jeff discuss:How a liturgy before reading — drawn from Douglas McKelvey's Every Moment Holy — can transform how we approach any bookWhy reading diverse voices (across gender, ethnicity, and genre) is a pathway toward becoming more human and more ChristlikeThe practice of rereading: how books like Markings by Dag Hammarskjöld and Kent Haruf's novels serve as lifelong companionsThree practical strategies for becoming a wiser reader — including the one question Jeff asks almost everyone he meetsWhy Jeff's bookstore friend was counseled to fast from books — and what that revealed about his relationship to scriptureHow reading together (from team check-ins at ECPA to hosting 75–100 person “Books in Nature” dinners) transforms communityJeff's next book: The Spirit in the Sky — on music, spirituality, and 17 artists from Paul Simon to Marvin Gaye (Bloomsbury, October 2025)Jeff recorded this conversation the day before his mother's memorial service, turning to the Psalms and a poetry collection called Joy (edited by Christian Wiman, Yale University Press) as companions in grief. His witness here is as much lived as written.Guest BioJeff Crosby is the president and CEO of ECPA (Evangelical Christian Publishers Association) and has worked in bookselling and publishing for more than 40 years — from running a Lagos bookstore near Indiana University to 24 years at InterVarsity Press to leading the trade association of Christian publishing. He is the author of World of Wonders: A Spirituality of Reading (Paraclete Press, 2025) and The Language of the Soul. His writing has appeared in Publishers Weekly, Books & Culture, CRUX Journal, and other publications. He lives in the Chicago area with his wife, author Cindy Crosby. Resources MentionedJeff's website: jeffreycrosby.netWorld of Wonders: A Spirituality of Reading — Jeff Crosby (Paraclete Press, 2025)The Spirit in the Sky: The Power of Music and Our Search for Graceland — Jeff Crosby (Bloomsbury, October 2025)Every Moment Holy — Douglas McKelveyMarkings — Dag HammarskjöldReading for the Love of God — Jessica Hooten Wilson (Brazos Press)Joy (poetry anthology) — edited by Christian Wiman (Yale University Press)The Meaning of Your Life — Arthur C.

Bij de VN zijn de sollicitaties begonnen voor de opvolging van Antonio Guterres als Secretaris-Generaal. We zullen hem niet missen. Hij heeft zich ontpopt tot een meester van de verkeerde clichés op de verkeerde momenten. Terwijl de wereldmachten de veiligheidsarchitectuur steen voor steen afbreken, komt de Secretaris-Generaal van achter zijn bureau met briljante commentaren zoals ‘de noodzaak tot de-escalatie' en ‘ik maak me grote zorgen'. Zijn twee termijnen van vijf jaar werden gekenmerkt door een pijnlijk gebrek aan daadkracht: van zijn tandeloze morele verontwaardiging over de invasie van Oekraïne tot zijn onvermogen om de VN-organisaties in conflictgebieden effectief aan te sturen. Zijn enige tastbare succes, de Oekraïense graanovereenkomst, was een zeldzame opleving in een verder anemisch mandaat waarin hij vooral uitblonk in het uiten van zijn 'diepe bezorgdheid' terwijl de halve wereld in brand stond.  Het kan anders. In het verleden bewezen leiders dat de post meer omvat dan een ceremoniële hamer. Dag Hammarskjöld, de eerste SG, legde de basis voor de moderne vredesmacht door met een bijna mystieke onafhankelijkheid tussen de grootmachten te laveren. Kofi Annan wist met zijn morele autoriteit de VN tot het centrum van de wereldpolitiek te maken, zelfs toen hij de VS openlijk kritiseerde over de illegaliteit van de Irak-oorlog. Zij waren geen toeschouwers, maar architecten van de wereldorde.  De rol van de Secretaris-Generaal is nu fundamenteel veranderd. Zoals Foreign Policy  stelt, is de tijd van de 'Blauwhelmen' als universele vredebewaarders voorbij. De volgende leider krijgt geen organisatie die vrede afdwingt, maar een instituut dat moet overleven in een wereld van brute geopolitiek. In deze chaos is er geen behoefte aan een nieuwe predikant, maar aan een guerrilla-diplomaat: iemand die via technische, humanitaire en juridische omwegen feiten op de grond creëert wanneer de Veiligheidsraad, zoals nagenoeg altijd, verlamd is.  De Chileense oud-president Michelle Bachelet  heeft de sterkste troeven, de roep om een vrouw is luid en Latijns-Amerika is aan de beurt. Voor een land als Nederland, dat hamert op de internationale rechtsorde, is de Argentijn Rafael Grossi waarschijnlijk een betere keus. Als hoofd van het VN-atoomagentschap belichaamt hij die guerrilla-diplomatie. Hij gaat de modder in bij de kerncentrale van Zaporizja om escalatie te voorkomen, in plaats van achter een VN-katheder abstracte waarschuwingen te uiten.  De VN is steeds irrelevanter geworden, hoewel dat de organisatie zelf niet valt te verwijten. Die is immers niet meer dan de optelsom van de 193 lidstaten. Maar een sterke kapitein op het schip helpt. De opvolger van Guterres moet inzien dat macht niet in het Handvest zit, maar in de moed om de machten de waarheid te zeggen. De tijd voor clichés is voorbij. De VN heeft een strateeg nodig die de scherven durft op te rapen.  

So much of what is happening these days seems utterly nonsensical, from Trump’s war crime and profanity-laced Easter rant, to the whipsaw on Iran. So, is it simply Occam’s razor, or is there more going on here than we’re led to believe? Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men’s views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it. — President Woodrow Wilson, The New Freedom: A Call for the Emancipation of the Generous Energies of a People (1913) The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the larger centers has owned the Government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson — and I am not wholly excepting the Administration of W. W. The country is going through a repetition of Jackson’s fight with the Bank of the United States — only on a far bigger and broader basis. — President Franklin D. Roosevelt, letter to Col. Edward Mandell House (21 November 1933); as quoted in F.D.R.: His Personal Letters, 1928-1945, edited by Elliott Roosevelt (New York: Duell, Sloan and Pearce, 1950), pg. 373 I would suggest nothing we’re seeing, including (especially) the seemingly nonsensical, is ‘accidental’ or coincidental. It is PSYOP/PSWAR, a potent toxic mixture of POSIWID and chaos theory designed and intended to rapidly produce maximum chaos resulting in a ‘Clash of Civilizations‘ and The End of History and the Last Man, to ultimately bring about a ‘Novus Ordo Seclorum’1234 a la Genesis 11 → Genesis 6 → culminating in Psalm 2 → Revelation 19.

Needless to say, this is not what Washington, Madison, Adams, Jefferson, and Franklin had in mind when they founded the US Constitutional Republic. Members of the US government—as well as We the People—should think about the reflections of multiple Roman authors who regarded the total annihilation of Carthage as an outrage and repudiation of Rome's republican values and virtues. In the Aeneid, Virgil frames the Punic Wars as a fateful conflict initiated by the Punic Queen Dido’s curse on Aeneas’s descendants. I interpret this as Virgil's way of condemning the “unspeakable” destruction of Carthage. The American people should be aware of the fact that if our US government does indeed annihilate the Iranian nation forever, it will certainly have a vast array of terrible consequences for us and for all of mankind. Among other disasters, it is likely that millions of Iranians will be forced to flee to other lands, including those of Europe. Many young men who see their mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters suffer will be animated with a burning desire for revenge. I anticipate great horrors ahead for all of us.

U Thant was a Burmese diplomat and the third Secretary-General of the United Nations. He assumed the role following the death of Dag Hammarskjöld in a plane crash in the Congo in 1961, and soon became one of the most consequential players in international affairs for over a decade. Thant's contributions to some of the key global challenges of the era were widely celebrated at the time but have since been overlooked—until now. A brilliant new biography, Peacemaker: U Thant and the Forgotten Quest for a Just World, places the former Secretary-General at the heart of several crucial moments of the 1960s, including the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Vietnam War, post-colonial struggles in the Congo, and much more. The book is written by Thant Myint-U, a historian who has worked at the United Nations—and who also happens to be U Thant's grandson. In our conversation, Thant describes how his grandfather went from being a schoolteacher in rural Burma to, just 15 years later, playing a key role in mediating the Cuban Missile Crisis as UN Secretary-General. We also discuss Thant's efforts to end the Vietnam War before it escalated, and his work confronting a fascist regime in a breakaway region of the Congo. More broadly, we explore the lessons that the current UN system and its Secretary-General can draw from U Thant's remarkable tenure. Thant Myint-U is the author of Peacemaker: U Thant and the Forgotten Quest for a Just World.

Questions? Comments? Text Us!What does the ancient Hindu epic Mahabharata, often called “India's Iliad,” have to say about your life today? In this From God to Jerry to You, philosopher Jerry L. Martin shares what God revealed to him while praying through the pages of this vast epic and its centerpiece, the Bhagavad Gita.God's surprising message is clear: the purpose of life is not to escape through yoga, asceticism, or lofty philosophy, but to engage; to face sin, suffering, mortality, and the challenges of human existence.Jerry explores the story of the good king Yudi, who must wrestle with duty, saintliness, and the shocking truth that sometimes the morally imperfect is morally required. Krishna reminds him, and us, that true spirituality is not retreat but responsibility, even when choices carry painful costs. Jerry breaks down the word and meaning of swadharma, or personal duty: your unique calling in life. Drawing on the Bhagavad Gita, Dag Hammarskjöld's reflections, and Abigail Rosenthal's piercing question, “Does this task have my name on it?” Jerry invites you to discern your own path. Because only when you say “yes” to your calling does life take on true meaning.This conversation bridges East and West, scripture and modern life, divine revelation and personal reflection. Whether you are a seeker, a philosopher, or simply searching for guidance, this episode offers wisdom you won't want to miss.Other Series:The podcast began with the Dramatic Adaptation of the book and now has several series:The Life Wisdom Project – Spiritual insights on living a wiser, more meaningful life.From God to Jerry to You – Divine messages and breakthroughs for seekers.Two Philosophers Wrestle With God – A dialogue on God, truth, and reason.Jerry & Abigail: An Intimate Dialogue – Love, faith, and divine presence in partnership.What's Your Spiritual Story – Real stories of people changed by encounters with God.What's On Our Mind – Reflections from Jerry and Scott on recent episodes.What's On Your Mind – Listener questions, divine answers, and open dialogue. Stay ConnectedRead the book: God: An Autobiography, As Told to a Philosopher at godanautobiography.com or AmazonShare your questions and reflections: questions@godanautobiography.comSubscribe and listen free wherever you get podcastsShare Your Story | Site | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube

Den här veckan får vi möta pastor och biträdande kyrkoledare Joakim Hagerius från Equmeniakyrkan. Varje dag reflekterar han kring helgon och helighet. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Ur andakten:I en dikt som Dag Hammarskjöld skriver bara månader innan han omkommer i en flygplanskrasch ger han intryck av att vara trött och ensam, men övertygad om att han inte får släppa taget, inte då. Dikten avslutas med orden: ”Gråt, om du kan, gråt, men klaga inte. Vägen valde dig – och du ska tacka.”Vägen valde mig, inte tvärtom. Det är ett ovanligt och saknat synsätt i vår tid. En helig, annorlunda hållning. I denna hållning är inte den viktigaste frågan hur jag når fram till mitt mål? Eller hur jag kan skapa en bättre version av mig själv? Den ännu viktigare frågan är om jag är beredd att säga ja till Jesus Kristus, och att gå så långt in i världen med kärlek och tjänande som det är möjligt. Att inte bli allt för upptagen av mig själv, utan genom Guds nåd leva ett liv som gör världen lite större och ljusare för någon annan.Andakten sändes första gången 2024. Joakim Hagerius arbetar numera som präst i Svenska kyrkan i Göteborg. Text:Joh 21:18-19Musik:Jag Kan Icke Räkna Dem Alla med Anders Widmark trioProducent:Susanna Némethliv@sverigesradio.se

18 september 1961, even na middernacht. Een Douglas DC-6 vliegtuig nadert de luchthaven van Ndola in Noord-Rhodesië.

Henning Melber is Director Emeritus of the Dag Hammarskjöld Foundation and former research director of the Nordic Africa Institute. Melber is the author of "Dag Hammarskjöld, the United Nations and the Decolonisation of Africa" in which he explores the years of African decolonization during which Hammarskjöld was in office, investigating the scope and limits of his influence within the context of global governance. He paints a picture of a man with strong guiding principles, but limited room for maneuver, colliding with the essential interests of the big powers as the 'wind of change' blew over the African continent. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/out-of-the-blank/support

“The United Nations was not created in order to deliver us to heaven, but in order to save us from hell.” - Dag Hammarskjöld.“To Save Us From Hell” is a new weekly news and analysis podcast about the UN. Mark Leon Goldberg, a veteran global affairs journalist and editor of the news outlets UN Dispatch and Global Dispatches, and Anjali Dayal, a political science professor and author at Fordham University, co-host the show. They join us on Making Peace Visible to explain the significance of the UN today, especially when it comes to deescalating conflicts and laying the groundwork for peace. Goldberg and Dayal's intense focus on the UN and its work comes at a time when the world's focus on the institution seems to be diminishing, while violent conflicts are increasing. We also have global crises like climate change, infectious disease, and refugees. The one global institution designated to deal with problems at that scale is the UN. So what's missing from mainstream news coverage of the UN, and can it save us from hell?!Subscribe to “To Save Us from Hell” at globaldispatches.org. Music in this episode by Blue Dot Sessions, Siddhartha Corsus, and SFmusic.

Today I talked to Stuart Reid about his new book The Lumumba Plot: The Secret History of the CIA and a Cold War Assassination (Knopf, 2023). It was supposed to be a moment of great optimism, a cause for jubilation. The Congo was at last being set free from Belgium—one of seventeen countries to gain independence in 1960 from ruling European powers. At the helm as prime minister was charismatic nationalist Patrice Lumumba. Just days after the handover, however, the Congo's new army mutinied, Belgian forces intervened, and Lumumba turned to the United Nations for help in saving his newborn nation from what the press was already calling “the Congo crisis.” Dag Hammarskjöld, the tidy Swede serving as UN secretary-general, quickly arranged the organization's biggest peacekeeping mission in history. But chaos was still spreading. Frustrated with the fecklessness of the UN and spurned by the United States, Lumumba then approached the Soviets for help—an appeal that set off alarm bells at the CIA. To forestall the spread of Communism in Africa, the CIA sent word to its station chief in the Congo, Larry Devlin: Lumumba had to go. Within a year, everything would unravel. The CIA plot to murder Lumumba would fizzle out, but he would be deposed in a CIA-backed coup, transferred to enemy territory in a CIA-approved operation, and shot dead by Congolese assassins. Hammarskjöld, too, would die, in a mysterious plane crash en route to negotiate a cease-fire with the Congo's rebellious southeast. And a young, ambitious military officer named Joseph Mobutu, who had once sworn fealty to Lumumba, would seize power with U.S. help and misrule the country for more than three decades. For the Congolese people, the events of 1960–61 represented the opening chapter of a long horror story. For the U.S. government, however, they provided a playbook for future interventions. Andrew O. Pace is a historian of the US in the world who specializes in the moral fog of war. He is currently a DPAA Research Partner Fellow at the University of Southern Mississippi and a co-host of the Diplomatic History Channel on the New Books Network. He is also working on a book about the reversal in US foreign policy from victory at all costs in World War II to peace at any price in the Vietnam War.

President Reagan's disappointment in and distrust of international organizations is vividly apparent in his radio commentaries from 1975-1980. Today, when we look at the situation in Ukraine, and the tragedies unfolding in Gaza, we can't help but wonder what, if anything, the organization has accomplished in bringing peace to the world. On March 25, just a month ago, the UN Security Council passed a resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire for the month of Ramadan, in addition to the immediate and unconditional release of hostages and "the urgent need to expand the flow" of aid into Gaza. There were 14 votes in favor with the United States abstaining. As of this writing, despite their demands, the parties involved - Israel and Hamas - have not heeded. It was Dag Hammarskjöld, the tragic second UN secretary general, who said it best. The United Nations, he said, “was created not to lead mankind to heaven but to save humanity from hell”. So in this podcast, we'll listen to two of Ronald Reagan's speeches - an excerpt from a 1983 address where his aggressive rhetoric was criticized and a radio address from 1978, both clarify why he believed that the UN, despite its lofty goals, is impotent.

Most folks these days have never heard of Dag Hammarskjöld, but in his time he was a global mover and shaker. As the son of the Swedish Prime Minister, he grew up in halls of power, teaching at a prestigious university, running a bank and, eventually, heading the newly-formed United Nations. Yet his stellar career was cut short by a tragic plane crash while on a secret mission to stop a war. And, more than 60 years later, Ben, Matt and Noel are increasingly certain he was murdered. Was this death an unfortunate plane crash -- or a genuine assassination?
