Peace with Justice

关于我们

My World, of which Ernest G. Tannis is President, was set up in 1985 as a not-for-profit organization (NFP) with the motto: “children helping other children pick up the pieces”. The idea for this organization came from Emile Kanim who asked a fellow Lebanese person in Ottawa if he knew of a pro bono lawyer who can help establish this NFP. That’s how they met. Emile left a lucrative business in Los Angeles, California and Ernie was leaving a lucrative law practice in Ottawa, Ontario. The activities and intentions of My World will be written up in due course, as this website evolves. Coincidentally, they were both on the same mission, to increase access to justice, and build on non-violent process options for people to prevent, manage and resolve conflicts individually, institutionally and internationally. After Emile’s passing, with the permission of his family, in his memory and honour, and to preserve his legacy, a My World “Peace with Justice” Award was created. The first recipient was Dr. Ed Napke in 2016 in Ottawa, a world-renowned medical scientist. The second recipient was Ambassador John W. McDonald, Washington, D.C. in 2018. He was an American diplomat and international development and peacebuilding expert, appointed twice by Presidents Carter and Reagan to represent the United States at United Nations World Conferences.
