Returning to The Hague: The Third International Peace Conference
"This conference could augur well for the coming century. It would unite into one mighty whole the efforts of all States sincerely striving to make the great idea of universal peace triumph over strife and discord." - Count Mikhail Nidolayevich Muravyou, Russian Foreign Affairs Minister, 1898. In 1899 governments gathered in the Hague for the first International Peace Conference. For the first time in history, a conference was held not to conclude or settle a war, but to focus on building a lasting world peace. It sought to develop permanent mechanisms of international law to contribute to disarmament, the prevention of war and the peaceful settlement of disputes. A Second Hague Peace Conference was also held in 1907.
These conferences made historic advances in the development of international law. They established the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) and made seminal contributions to the establishment of the League of Nations, the Permanent Court of International Justice, as well as to their successors, the United Nations and the International Court of Justice (ICJ). The ICJ and PCA continue to operate out of The Hague. A Third Hague Peace Conference was proposed to convene in 1915. However, the outbreak of World War I and a series of other conflicts worldwide prevented the conference from occurring. ...Until now. During the last decade, calls for a 1999 Third Hague Peace Conference were initiated by the Movement of Non-Aligned Countries and the Russian Federation. The Hague Appeal for Peace has been included by the UN General Assembly as part of this historic gathering. Once again, governments and members of civil society will gather in the name of peace.
The Hague Appeal for Peace 1999 is a major end-of-century peace campaign dedicated to the de-legitimisation of war. May 1999 marks the 100th anniversary of the First Hague International Peace Conference, organised by the Russian Tsar and the Queen of the Netherlands. One hundred war-torn years later, the Hague Appeal for Peace 1999 is taking up the same vital questions again, in order to make further strides towards a peaceful, sustainable world order. The Hague Appeal for Peace is an ongoing process, initiated and organised by civil society and various non-governmental organisations, with a parallel inter-governmental process convened by the Netherlands and the Russian Federation. The campaign's main focus will be a peace and justice congress in The Hague, the Netherlands, from 11 - 16 May 1999.
Key themes of the Hague Appeal include: International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights; Conflict Prevention and Resolution; Disarmament; The Roots of War / Building a Culture of Peace. After the conference there will be an intensive and continuing follow-up program to implement its decisions and start making objectives into reality.

The Twenty Second `Irfan Colloquium
The 1999 session of the `Irfan Colloquium in English in Europe will be held 27-29 August, Trent Park, Middlesex University (London). The program has two parts: (1) Colloquium for presentation of research papers; (2) the Seminar on the Revelation of Baha'u'llah. The main themes of the colloquium will be "World religions and the Bahá'í Faith" and "Principles of the Bahá'í Belief System or Bahá'í Theology".
From the beginning of the Four Year Plan a series of seminars are organized for the study of the Writings of Baha'u'llah. Seminars in 1999 will be devoted to the Tablets revealed during the early Akka period (1868 - 1884). In addition to Kitab-i-Aqdas and Question and Answers, Tablets addressed to the Kings and Rulers, Ridvanu'l-Adl, Ru'ya, Hikmat, Burhan, Ard-i-Ba, Hirtik, Ihtiraq, Manikchi, Tibb, Ahbab, Ittihad, Aqdas, Laylatu'l-Quds, Istintaq, and Suri-yi-Haykal are among the Tablets of this period that will be presented and discussed in the seminar. Those interested in presenting papers are requested to send their proposals before 21 April to Dr Moojan Momen, Wixamtree, Sand Lane, Northill, Biggleswade, Beds. SG18 9AD, England. Those planning to attend `Irfan Colloquium and Seminar are requested to contact Mrs. Mirta Lopez mirta@compuserve.com
Please note that there will also be a Persian-language `Irfan Colloquium: 18-24 June, Instituto Permanente di Insegamento Bahá'í via Capodimonte 49, 03010 Acuto (FR), Italy. For registration please contact the Institute <act.bahai@axa.it> Those interested in presenting papers at this Persian-language Colloquium are requested to send their proposals to Dr. Iraj Ayman, Bahá'í National Center, 1233 Central Street, Evanston, IL 60201, USA: iayman@usbnc.org
The Bahá'í Faith Index, online since 1995, is a Bahá'í-oriented search engine containing almost 3,000 links to Bahá'í addresses and mailing lists all over the world. It is divided into 24 categories, and there is special emphasis laid on the availability of non-English materials, in the form of 33 language names at the top of the main site, at http://www.bcca.org/~cvoogt
The aim of the Bahá'í Faith Index is to link to all Bahá'í sites in a manner making it convenient for visitors to retrieve the information they desire, and to provide a venue for special internet-based resources for the Bahá'í Faith, such as an online version of "The Dawnbreakers" and "Baha'u'llah and the New Era," as well as several Russian items, the "Kitab'i'Aqdas," "The Hidden Words," and "God Loves Laughter" included.
Because of the Index's international emphasis, it also provides news for Baha'is, covering human rights issues pertaining to Iran and its persecution of the Baha'is there. Similarly, a venue for public discussion of various issues is provided in the form of a semi-moderated discussion forum, and a chatroom for live conversation. The Bahá'í Faith Index also hosts the Bahá'í Ring, a collection of over 200 Bahá'í web sites around the world, linked together sequentially, allowing the visitor to go from one to the other, or to choose one of the over 200 at random. The Bahá'í Ring is intended to help emphasise the Bahá'í Faith's international presence by including as many sites as possible from around the world, demonstrating the diversity within the Bahá'í Faith.
Besides maintaining a central repository for Bahá'í links, news, discussions, online publications or republications, and the Baha'i Ring, the Index includes a monthly Bahá'í Internet Update mailing list to keep subscribers up to date on the latest new developments in the Bahá'í Internet world.
I hope that provides a general overview of what the Bahá'í Faith Index is and does. The site will continue to grow as it has in the last four years, usually with the most active periods of addition and change being in the summers.

Sincerely

This is a list of List of Bahá'u'lláh's Tablets. The new version, resident at http://bahai-library.com/books/rg/rg.leiden.html covers about 500 tablets, and lists commentaries on the Aqdas and Hidden Words by individual paragraphs of these works, as well as listing general commentaries. Its compiler Sen McGlinn has also started to put in current Persian-language scholarship, eg from Pazhuheshnameh and Muhadirat, and the coverage of the English-language scholarship is much improved, thanks mainly to Jonah Winters. The weak point is still the location of Persian and Arabic originals, and past Persian-language scholarship.).
Bibliography of publications in Bábí and Bahá’í Studies, 1997-1998
An ever-increasing body of literature on the Bahá’í Faith is being produced by Bahá’í publishers, and such other bodies as Associations for Bahá’í Studies. A list of current Bahá’í Publishers can be found in editions of The Bahá’í World. Systematic posting of essays on the world wide web is also widely regarded as "publication". Significant references to the Faith appear in the literature of religious studies and the social sciences generally, as well as in current affairs literature. The following is a partial listing of recent literature that either refers to, or focuses on, the Bahá’í Faith. It is compiled through searches in bibliographic reference available on cd-rom and on the internet.
Reference services
The rapid emergence of electronic information services is revolutionising access to information on the Bahá'í Faith. Electronic sources range from websites that are freely accessible, to databases available only by subscription (eg Lexis), to discussion groups that allow researchers to communicate back and forth. By combining these sources the researcher may learn not only of such traditional sources of scholarly information as books and academic papers, but of such other sources as news services and newspaper articles. Judicial and other official records such as those of the United Nations Organisation are also becoming available, as are book lists supplied by book sellers. A search at the on-line bookstore "Amazon.com", for example, finds 264 references to "Bahá'í". A CD ROM from Newsbank called REDEX has an "Index to UN Documents" which when searched in March 1999 yielded 209 references to "Bahá'í". A search in the EBSCO database, in the "World Magazine Bank" file, yielded 107 references to Bahá'í.
Project Muse, a full text retrieval of 46 journals in history, sciences, philosophy, literature, provides an example of journals having "full-text" search and retrieval capacity, which allows a search on a keyword such as "Bahá'í" to be successful where-ever the term is in the text.
The vast quantity of data that is searchable on some subscription databases is breathtaking. UMI, for instance, includes eight sub-databases, each of which includes a constellation of information.
A Database named Emerald comprises fulltext access to approximately forty titles in marketing, general management, human resources, quality, property, operations, production & economics, library & information services, information management, training & education and engineering.
An electronic reference service even identified a microfiche collection of materials with Bahá'í content from India deposited in the US Library of Congress. A subscription called FirstSearch grants access to a large number of databases. The database area of arts and humanities the general database " worldcat" gained 1723 records for "Bahá'í". This amount included 26 records in English fur 1998. The general database "article1st" found 36 refs, (including 1 for 1998). The firstsearch database called "Papers first" includes "Papers included in every congress, conference, exposition, workshop, symposium, and meeting received at The British Library." A search on "Bahá'í" yielded eleven references, including one in 1998.
The netfirst database consists of "Bibliographic citations including abstracts, subject headings, and classification codes." It includes a variety of Internet accessible resources including World Wide Web pages and Listservs, and will soon also encompass Usenet newsgroups, FTP sites, Gopher servers, and electronic publications in other formats. A search in March yielded 212 records for "Bahá'í".
The database "Index to Theses accepted for higher degrees by the Universities of Great Britain and Ireland" yielded no references to "Bahá'í", but under Babism lists From Shaykhism to Babism: a study in charismatic renewal in Shi'i Islam by D. M. MacEoin, (1979, Ph.D., Cambridge).
