Lubbers joins Pax Christi board
Former prime minister and UN High Commissioner for Refugees Ruud Lubbers has become a committee member of the peace organisation Pax Christi and will advise the group on nuclear weapons.
The move is interesting because Lubbers clashed fiercely with the peace movement when he was prime minister in the 80s and the Netherlands was gripped by the cruise missile crisis.
