April 17, 1989 - Abba Eban, former Israeli ambassador to the United States and the United Nations, speaking at Distinguished Carlson Lecture at Northrop Auditorium. Eban addresses the topic “Roadblocks to Peace in the Middle East.” After speech, Eban answered audience questions. A vehement champion of Israel's national interest, Eban’s diplomacy won the Jewish state crucial international support in its initial decade. Eban has spoken out against any attempt to make the occupied territories a permanent part of Israel since they were won in the 1967 Six-Day War, and his contribution to the 1968 U.N. Security Council resolution has been the foundation for every serious Middle East peace effort. He is active in the reconciliation movement between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization, and was one of seven Israeli representatives to recent talks with PLO leaders, European politicians and Jewish spokespersons at The Hague. The Carlson Lecture Series is managed by the Humphrey Institute's Citizen Education Program and is made possible through a $1 million gift from Curtis L. Carlson, founder and chair of Minneapolis-based Carlson Cos. The Carlson Lecture Series brings distinguished national and international leaders to the university to speak on current topics of public interest.
