AXIS FOR PEACE 2005 The First Axis for Peace Conference was held on the 17 November and 18 of 2005 at the Résidence Palace, a conference centre managed by Belgium’s Prime Minister. The conference gathered some 150 leaders from 37 countries including intellectuals, politicians, diplomats and military officers. Also present at the conference were high level delegations from the Arab World, Eastern and Western Europe, the Americas; however Black Africa, Asia and Oceania were not largely represented at the forum. The event was partially rebroadcast to the Arab World by Al Jazeera , to Latin America some days later by Telesur and to the Slavic world by Russia Today . The Secretary General of the Arab League and several personalities did not attend the conference due to the unexpected call for a diplomatic summit in Cairo aimed at dealing with the future of Iraq. The French government denied Schengen visas to guests that would take transit through Parisian airports. Lebanon’s Prime Minister prohibited his ministers from participating in the conference. An Ecuadorian death squad named ''La Legión Blanca'' ("The White Legion") attempted to assassinate some participants upon their return to Latin America. MAIN MEMBERS
