e the men and women who participate in the Peace in Peacetime Conference,Veiw list of Participants
Seal wholeheartedly our commitment to the noblest aspirations of mankind which have been proclaimed in all religious and humanistic traditions that call for the celebration of Life.
Appeal to the best in humanity's values to resist
the growing indifference to human pain.
our policies that lead to the expenditures of billions of dollars for the destruction of life while we condemn to poverty half of the population of the world.
our unbridled consumption patterns that threaten the life support systems of our planet.
our apathy and inaction with respect to the entertainment and communication industry that nourishes greed, violence and lack of respect for life.
our fears and prejudices, rooted in our dualistic thinking, which exacerbate nationalism and intolerance and lead to lack of compassion and the false notion that conflict resolution lies in war and violence.
the undertaking of military exercises that affect the enjoyment of a full life in violation of basic human rights.
Seal here our wholehearted commitment to initiate a process of resistance to the selfishness that prevents us from constructing a better world taking advantage of our technological and scientific achievements.
Seal here our wholehearted commitment to protect humanity's most innocent and greatest resource; its children.
Commit ourselves wholeheartedly to connect the New Humanity in a network of resistance that links individuals and organizations in concrete actions to denounce and reject policies, products and media that threaten directly and indirectly the celebration of Life.
Seal here our wholehearted commitment to establish connections amongst human beings through a Global Strategic Alliance to support every policy, cause or action that favors respect for life, human dignity, freedom and peace.
Peace in peacetime.
