PROGRESS: Has your organization seen
progress toward a culture of peace and nonviolence in your domain of
action and in your constituency during the first half of the Decade? |
Our
organization, working in 37 countries, has seen minimal progress in the
first half of the decade. We have, however, seen remarkable
progress within our own education, and on a grassroots level. The
growing awareness of a culture of peace and nonviolence within and
without the organization has indeed progressed. We have seen a
growing awareness at UN meetings, and amongst our membership
especially.
|
OBSTACLES: What are the most important obstacles that have prevented progress?
|
Funding is one obstacle that has prevented us from completing some specific projects on furthering the decade.
|
ACTIONS: What actions have been
undertaken by your organization to promote a culture of peace and
nonviolence during the first half of the Decade?
|
We have taken numerous actions to promote a culture of peace and nonviolence, including:
- holding events around the world on 21 September
- promoting the culture of peace through publications, web sites, and information sharing.
- working with other organizations to develop curricula on a culture of peace
- promoting disarmament education among our national sections
- promoting democratization of the UN as a way to further the culture of peace
-
organizing events around the globe on peace issues, on women's rights,
in order to examine the root causes of war and eliminate them.
|

give to the Secretary-General and the General Assembly to promote a
culture of peace and nonviolence during the second half of the Decade? |
