The International Peace Institute (IPI) is a New York think tank founded in 1970 as the International Peace Academy, with offices beside United Nations headquarters at 777 United Nations Plaza and regional offices in Vienna and in Manama, Bahrain.1 Its president from 2005 until October 2020 was the Norwegian diplomat Terje Rød-Larsen.14 Four cheques from Jeffrey Epstein’s foundation Gratitude America, Ltd to the institute are cited here, three drawn in 2017 and one in April 2019, together $525,000, and an Epstein office tally of December 2014 records an instruction for a $200,000 cheque to it, without naming the account it was to be drawn on.56789 Two letters from Leon Black to Rød-Larsen reporting gifts of $750,000 and $200,000 are also in the release, one of them an unsigned draft.103 A memo sent to the United States Department of Justice through Eurojust in December 2019, written by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, set out what the ministry had been told about Epstein’s donations to the institute and recorded a second-hand account, expressly unverified, that young women from Eastern Europe had been brought to IPI as short-term trainees and photographed at the UN building for Epstein.111 Rød-Larsen resigned on October 29, 2020 after the Norwegian newspaper Dagens Næringsliv reported his financial dealings with Epstein, and the institute’s board called any engagement with Epstein “repugnant to the institution’s core values.”4

The institute

An unsigned memo dated 12/16/2011 in the release, headed “Establishment of the International Peace Institute as an International Intergovernmental Organization,” sets out a proposal to establish IPI as an intergovernmental organization headquartered in Vienna, governed by a member-states assembly, alongside the existing New York not-for-profit, IPI Inc. It records that “The Government of Austria has offered a package of support that includes privileges and immunities,” and that member states “would continue to fund IPI by voluntary contributions.”12

Three days later Rød-Larsen forwarded Epstein an internal report of a meeting held in Vienna at which ambassadors from Liechtenstein, Norway, Luxembourg, Denmark, Finland and Sweden had been briefed on the proposal and each given a letter to their foreign minister. The report, written by the director of IPI Vienna, Andrea Pfanzelter, says the ambassadors were told that the change “would give states better value for money (by cutting overhead) and it would give IPI access to new sources of funding that are currently not accessible to NGOs in Europe,” and that they were “widely supportive.” The message Rød-Larsen sent Epstein carries as attachments a draft founding agreement, the memo and a transmission letter to the Foreign Minister of Finland.13

A later undated draft concept note in the release, for a cooperation agreement between IPI and Central European University, records that “In Austria, IPI Vienna (Internationales Friedensinstitut) holds the legal status of a ‘Quasi-International Organization,’” and offers to put that status and the institute’s “long standing relationship with the Austrian government” at the university’s disposal as it sought to establish a presence in Vienna. It refers to Salzburg Forum meetings of 2016 and 2017.14

The Norwegian memo of November 2019 records that IPI’s funding “comes from a diverse donor base, which appears to include governments and private individuals and foundations.”1

In November 2010 the institute co-organised a retreat for foreign ministers, the Sir Bani Yas Forum, at Qasr Al Sarab, Abu Dhabi. The four-page agenda in the release, headed “The Middle East, Energy & Security, Inaugural Annual Retreat,” states it was “Co-organised by the United Arab Emirates and the International Peace Institute.”15

Money from Epstein’s foundations

The fellowship and the Bahrain office

A press release circulated from Epstein’s own website says that the Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation “has voiced its full support for the opening of the International Peace Institute in the Gulf kingdom of Bahrain,” and that the foundation “also established a fellowship fund at the International Peace Institute to honor deceased Middle East diplomat Richard Hooper who was killed in the 2003 terrorist bombing of the UN headquarters in Baghdad.”16 The Norwegian memo, working from that release and from the institute’s own web page, records that the fellowship was launched on October 19, 2011, that “Amounts are not specified,” and that on the Bahrain office “No specification of concrete funding is provided.”1 Neither document records a payment.

December 2014

On December 23, 2014 Epstein asked two of his financial staff for “the final of how much money was sent to each of my cahrities.” The reply lists wires sent that day to five institutions and, separately, cheques being written that day, among them “INTERNATIONAL PEACE INITIATIVE 250,000.” Richard Kahn wrote back, “Please advise on IPI as instructions were for 200,000,” and was told: “My typo – instructions are for $200K to Terje Rod-Larsen.”9 The exchange records an instruction and a correction. It does not name the account the cheque was to be drawn on, and no cheque answering to it is cited here.

2017

On the morning of May 8, 2017 Epstein wrote to Kahn, “rich , please send 150k to ipi. from gratitude thanks.” That afternoon, Kahn asked Rød-Larsen whether it was “ok to process and mail a check” to the institute’s New York address “or would you prefer we deliver to you”; Rød-Larsen replied at 3:00:47 PM EDT, “Dear Richard, That is great - thank you! Warmest, Terje.”17 Gratitude America cheque number 321, dated 5/8/2017, pays $150,000 to “International Peace Institute, Inc” at 777 United Nations Plaza and is drawn on Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas.5

On the morning of June 12, 2017, at 8:56 AM, Kahn wrote to Rød-Larsen in a separate thread continuing the May exchange, “Confirming 125k is in addition to 150k sent in may. Thank you.” Later that morning, at 10:50 AM, in a new thread, Epstein wrote to Kahn and Rød-Larsen together, “Rich please send 125 k to ipi.” At 11:22 AM Epstein wrote, “Yes,” and at 11:26 AM Kahn told the office, “Please process check gratitude.”18 Cheque number 327, dated 6/12/2017, pays $125,000 to the institute.6 The bank’s exception record for that cheque gives the exception type as “High dollar pull,” the previous decision as “Refer” and the previous reason as “Signature not on file.”6

On November 1, 2017 Epstein wrote, “send IPI 100 k . to terje attention.” Kahn replied, “regarding IPI previous checks were both from Gratitude America,” listing them as “6/12/2017 125,000” and “5/7/2017 150,000,” and asked Epstein to “please confirm 100,000 will be from gratitude as well.”19 Cheque number 315, dated 11/1/2017, pays $100,000 to the institute and is addressed “Attn: Terje Rod Larsen.”7 Kahn’s recollection dates the May cheque a day earlier than the instrument does: the cheque itself is dated 5/8/2017, which is also the date of Epstein’s instruction.51719

The three 2017 cheques come to $375,000. That is the figure The Daily Beast reported on 19 August 2019, from a review of Gratitude America’s tax returns, as one of the foundation’s biggest donations, as recorded in the Norwegian memo.1567

April 2019

On April 3, 2019 a member of Rød-Larsen’s staff sent Epstein the institute’s bank details, writing, “Terje asked me to send you IPIs bank info.”20 Kahn instructed the office the next day, at 11:52 AM EDT: “please send 150,000 wire from DB gratitude today.”20 Thirty-one minutes later, at 12:23:02 PM EDT, the office wrote to the institute, “We would prefer to send an overnight check or deliver check via messenger. Please email address for delivery.”21 The institute replied that afternoon that the cheque should go to Adam Lupel, the institute’s vice president, because Rød-Larsen was in London.22 The instrument is Gratitude America cheque number 1032, dated 4/5/2019, for $150,000, payable to “International Peace Institute, Inc” and marked “Attn: Adam Lupel”; it is drawn not on the “DB gratitude” account the instruction named (Deutsche Bank, as with the three 2017 cheques) but on the foundation’s account at FirstBank Puerto Rico, St. Thomas.8 The signature reads “Darren K.” followed by a continuous scrawl the scan does not resolve.8 The office’s message proposing a cheque explains the change from a wire to a cheque. The documents cited here do not explain the difference between the account named in the instruction and the account the cheque was drawn on, and this page does not attribute the payment to either.

Dagens Næringsliv reported, as summarised by PassBlue in October 2020, that Epstein donated $650,000 to the institute between 2011 and 2019.4 The cheques cited above are those that appear in the documents read for this page and are not a complete series.

Leon Black’s letters

Two letters from Leon Black to Rød-Larsen are in the release.

The first is dated April 27, 2014 and headed, in place of a letterhead, “[USE LETTERHEAD OF LDB].” Addressed to “Terje Rod Larsen, President, International Peace Institute, Inc.,” it reads: “In appreciation of the excellent work being done at International Peace Institute, Inc. (‘IPI’), I have made a charitable gift in the amount $750,000, representing an unrestricted gift for the use and benefit of IPI to support IPI’s ongoing initiatives, by wire transfer of said gift in accordance with the following wire transfer instructions,” and sets out the institute’s account at JPMorgan Chase, 1 United Nations Plaza. The name “Leon D. Black” is typed at the foot and the space above it is blank: the copy in the release is an unsigned draft.10

The second, dated December 19, 2014, is on Black’s own printed letterhead, is signed, and states: “In appreciation of the excellent work being done at International Peace Institute Inc. (‘IPI’), I have wire transferred a charitable gift in the amount $200,000 to be applied to ‘International Peace Institute Inc.’ representing an unrestricted gift for the use and benefit of IPI to support IPI’s ongoing initiatives.”3 Neither letter is addressed to Epstein, and neither states what part, if any, he had in either gift. Four days before the second letter’s date, on December 23, 2014, Epstein’s office recorded the separate $200,000 cheque instruction described above; nothing in either document links the two.39

The Summers flight and the Mongolia payment

On March 28, 2014 a member of Epstein’s accounting staff wrote to him that someone, whose name is blacked out at the start of the sentence, had “requested to reimburse International Peace Institute for Lawrence Summers flight. The ticket cost is $14,158.88. Please confirm it is approved to reimburse from Enhanced Education.” Epstein replied, “yes.” Below it in the thread is the institute’s own explanation that the ticket had been cancelled and reissued because Summers “had requested the flights be first class,” and that the flights were to Kazakhstan.23

PassBlue reported in October 2020 that Dagens Næringsliv had found that Rød-Larsen, in 2015, instructed the institute to pass on to Epstein a $100,000 honorarium returned to it in connection with a Mongolian advisory board, and quoted the newspaper: “However, it is clear that the president of the think tank [IPI] gave the green light to make a payment of $100,000 to the financier.” PassBlue reported that the institute denied that this happened, and that the newspaper stood by its account.4 In a letter to the board of October 21, 2020, quoted by PassBlue, Rød-Larsen wrote: “IPI never paid any money or compensation of any kind to Jeffrey Epstein.”4

The Gates Foundation grant

On November 1, 2013 Rød-Larsen forwarded Epstein an internal message from the institute’s director of finance and administration reporting that “today we received $1.25 million from the Gates Foundation as the first installment of its $2.5 million in general operating support over 2 years.”24

A grant proposal cover page dated 9 September 2013 records IPI applying to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation for $5,000,000 towards a 12-month project titled “Polio Eradication and Peace and Health,” against a total project cost of $5,002,500, with field work in Pakistan, Nigeria and Somalia. Andrea Pfanzelter, then director of IPI Vienna, is named on it both as the “Institutional official authorized to submit and accept grants on behalf of the organization” and as project director.2

On March 3, 2014 Rød-Larsen forwarded Epstein the grant agreement itself, Investment ID OPP1096058, under the subject “Fwd: Gates Foundation Grant Agreement for IPI.” The agreement names IPI as grantee and Pfanzelter, by then Senior Director, Development, as its primary contact, gives the charitable purpose as “to support polio eradication and initiatives supporting peace and health in developing countries,” and schedules two payments of $1,250,000. The copy Rød-Larsen sent Epstein is the execution copy the foundation had just sent IPI to sign: it carries a signature and the date March 2, 2014 for the foundation, and the institute’s signature and date lines are blank.2526

The president’s office and Epstein

On October 20, 2010 Epstein’s assistant Lesley Groff wrote to him under the subject “10am Friday Roed-Larsen” that she had told an assistant in Rød-Larsen’s office that a named escort would probably be taking him to the United Nations, and that the assistant had said that if he was asked in the UN lobby where he was going his answer was to be “12th Floor meeting with Terje Rod-Larsen.”27

The institute’s working material went to Epstein over several years. On April 3, 2013 the director of IPI Vienna, Andrea Pfanzelter, wrote to Rød-Larsen and Epstein together: “Dear Jeff, I understood from terje that you needed some material on IPI activities. Terje has forwarded you the annual report 2012 and 2011 and I add as an attachment IPI program activities ( which we usually forward to donor countries like Sweden or Norway) Thanks again for all your help.” The attachment named on the message is a file of the institute’s programme activities for 2012.28 On June 10, 2013 Rød-Larsen forwarded Epstein an internal message from the institute’s director of finance and administration headed “IPI bank instructions and 501c3 certification,” carrying the institute’s JPMorgan Chase account details and its tax ruling.29

The Norwegian memo

Content warning: this section concerns an allegation about the treatment of young women.

On December 17, 2019 Norway’s liaison prosecutor at Eurojust in The Hague wrote to a United States Department of Justice liaison prosecutor there that “The Norwegian Director of Public Prosecution has on behalf of the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs sent me information that might be of interest in the case against Mr. Epstein, and requested me to forward the information to USA,” that “The letter concerns International Peace Institute in New York and donations from Jeffrey Epstein,” and that “The information in the letter is provided by a woman to an employee in the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Her identity will upon request be given to your HA.” At 05:51 on January 9, 2020 the American recipient forwarded it on, writing: “I am our DOJ Liaison Prosecutor stationed in The Hague at Eurojust (and an AUSA from Baltimore on detail to OIA). I received the information below, and attached, from our Norwegian partners here. I’m not sure what value add it has, but I am following through on my promise to pass it on.” Later the same day it was passed on again, to a group that includes an addressee marked “(NY) (FBI),” under the note: “Consistent with passing along all tips that come to us directly, please see the email below (and attachment here) that I received earlier today. I have responded to confirm receipt.”11

The enclosure is a two-page memo headed “International Peace Institute in New York and donations from Jeffrey Epstein” and signed off “Oslo, 18 November 2019.” It describes the institute, names its president, board chair and honorary chair, and sets out what the ministry had established about two Epstein foundations: the Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation and the fellowship fund, and Gratitude America and The Daily Beast’s report of a $375,000 donation.1

Its fifth paragraph records that an employee of the ministry had been told by a woman, whose nationality and country of residence the released copy blacks out, that while she worked at the institute between November 2014 and April 2016 “she was asked on more than one occasion, to attend to very short-term trainees from Eastern Europe. These trainees were all young, beautiful females, and without the education required to work at the think tank. They had a brief stint at IPI, during which they also visited the UN building to have pictures taken by them there. These pictures where sent to Mr. Epstein.” The memo adds that “She thought that this was strange, but did not connect it with Mr. Epstein’s other activities at that time,” and closes: “We have not contacted the individual or IPI to verify the above.”1

This is a second-hand account which the memo itself says was not put to the institute or checked. Epstein died in August 2019 and no answer from him exists or could. No response from the institute to this particular allegation appears in the documents and reporting cited on this page; the board’s statement of October 2020, set out below, addresses the donations and the loan to its president and does not mention it.14

Rød-Larsen’s resignation and the institute’s response

On December 16, 2020 the Dagens Næringsliv reporter Tore Gjerstad wrote to a recipient he described as having been “on the team at SDNY prosecuting him,” setting out the newspaper’s work: “We have been writing about Jeffrey Epstein’s political connections for a year, among them revealing how he managed to get Bill Gates through the doors of the Nobel Peace Prize committee’s leader in 2013. But our main target has been the former UN assistant Secretary General, Mr. Terje Rød-Larsen, who resigned as president of the International Peace Institute in New York, after we revealed his financial dealings with Epstein.” He asked to exchange background information, attached translations of the newspaper’s articles, and followed up on January 5, 2021; the message was forwarded on later the same day.30

PassBlue reported that Rød-Larsen resigned as president and chief executive on October 29, 2020, days after the newspaper reported his dealings with Epstein, and that the board appointed the institute’s vice president, Adam Lupel, as acting president and chief executive.4 It quoted the board’s statement that Rød-Larsen had apologised to it “for his failed judgment in securing donations from foundations related to Jeffrey Epstein and in securing his own personal loan from Epstein in 2013, neither of which the Board was aware of,” and that “Epstein’s crimes were hideous. The notion that IPI would be in any way engaged with such an odious character is repugnant to the institution’s core values.”4

It also quoted the board’s chair, Kevin Rudd, in a statement to the newspaper of October 28, 2020: “I first learned of contributions from Epstein’s foundations to the IPI in November 2019 through reporting by the Norwegian press. I was blindsided by this,” and “I will be recommending to the board that an immediate and comprehensive probity review be conducted into the matters raised.” PassBlue recorded that the institute had announced in 2019 that it would donate a sum equivalent to any donations received from Epstein’s foundations to programmes supporting victims of human trafficking and sexual assault.4

The $130,000 loan Epstein made to Rød-Larsen in 2013, its repayment, and the rest of their correspondence are set out on his page.30
