ROYCE ABBEY PEACE ORATION
The Royce Abbey Peace Oration was named in honour of Past Rotary International President Royce Abbey AO, DCM. As the World President of Rotary International for the years 1988 to 1989, Royce selected as his presidential Theme ‘Put Life into Rotary – Your Life’ and indeed this was his personal credo throughout his life. Royce Abbey passed away in February, 2014.

His distinguished army career was marked by the award of the Distinguished Conduct Medal for bravery. His exemplary war service was followed by a number of very successful business enterprises.
 
Royce Abbey’s first contact with Rotary was with Sir Angus Mitchell, the first Australian world president of Rotary. Royce was to follow in his footsteps. After contributing many years of community service as national president of the YMCA, Royce received many accolades for his inspiring support of The Rotary Foundation. Royce was recognized as one who had a strong vision for peace in the world. He was impressed by the prospects of forming lasting international friendships within Rotary and recognized their potential to improve international understanding, goodwill and peace.

The inaugural Royce Abbey Oration was presented by PRIP Royce Abbey at the first International Conference of Rotary District Peace Communities held in Wagga Wagga, Australia on 10 September 2000. It established a tradition of addresses by prestigious speakers focusing on the concept and practice of peace. The concept of peace espoused by the Rotary District 9705 Communities Program transcends the simplistic view of an absence of war and encompasses all those measures that improve human relations with positive and harmonious outcomes. Violence and conflict are pervasive global phenomena that are seriously affecting community well-being. The rejection of violence, the respect for life and human dignity, the resolution of personal and community violence and the reconciliation of differences can realize those freedoms under which Peace and harmony can flourish.
