@RobLaker “The national flower of #Wales has become the #international flower of #peace. The purchase and wearing of a #daffodil in this way expresses both pride in the nation’s past - and hope for its future.” - Western Mail, 3rd Aug 1925. Explore 4 #StDavidsDay! wcia.org.uk/wcia-news/wcia…

Paging those into international history, internationalism, IR and diplomatic studies! No ink to dry (sadly), but @StoeckmannJan and I just signed a contract with @ManchesterUP for a book titled "Instruments of International Order: Internationalism and Diplomacy, 1900 to 1950".

On the occasion of the opening of the 77th session of the #UnitedNations General Assembly #UNGA77 in New York, we bring you back to the opening session of the #LeagueofNations Assembly in 1928 📽️⬇️
Rob Laker retweeted
When the Assembly of the #LeagueofNations met in September 1922, the #PalaisdesNations did not exist yet! Delegates gathered in the "Salle de la Réformation" 📸⤵️, a building located downtown (📍rue du Rhône) which was rented by the League for the Assembly sessions until 1930😯

Construction of the Assembly Building of the #PalaisdesNations in the 1930s The 1st meeting of the #LeagueofNations Assembly took place in 1937! Before, the Assembly met in the Salle de la Réformation (1920-1929) & the Bâtiment électoral (1929-1936), located in #Geneva downtown

The character and wit of Winifred Coombe Tennant - mother to 'Wales' Unknown Hero' and delegate to the League of Nations - lifted straight from observations in her private diplomatic diary.
