Call for Nominations for the 1999 Pearson Peace Medal The Pearson Peace Medal is awarded to a Canadian who has personally contributed, through his or her working life and voluntary commitments, to those causes to which Lester B. Pearson devoted his distinguished career: aid to the developing world, mediation between those confronting one another with arms, succour to refugees and others in need, equal rights and justice for all humanity, and peaceful change through world law and world organization. A jury of eminent Canadians selects the recipient of honour. The Medal is presented, often by the Governor-General of Canada, on or about United Nations Day, October 24. Any Canadian may nominate a fellow citizen for this prestigious award. The Jury requires the fullest possible dossiers to facilitate its selection deliberation. (Self nominations are not accepted.)
