Jan Oberg Proposal to World Press Photo - Peace and Reconciliation Photography

Kyoto, Japan December 17, 2009 Dear World Press Photo people It goes without saying that your exhibition this year too was marvellous.

The proposal I want to put forward here is exclusively constructive. As a peace res… Continue

David Swanson Obama's Rejection Speech

By David Swanson That was not a peace prize acceptance speech. That was an infomercial for war. President Obama took the peace prize home with him, but left behind in Oslo his praise for war, his claims for war, and his view of an alternative and more peaceful approach to the world consisting of murderous economic sanctions. Some highlights:
"There are the men and women around the world who have been jailed and beaten in the pursuit of justice; those who toil in humanitarian organ

Dear Colleagues In today's increasingly connected world there are thousands of resources available to obtain news and analysis about conflict and peace related issues.

David Swanson News from the Counting House

By David Swanson In every village of the kingdom the heralds would cry out the news. And always it would be the same news from every herald who wore the purple sash. But other heralds would cry out different news, crazy news, news that wasn't news at all. The royal heralds got their news from the king's palace, which is why they all cried out the same news at the same time. The other heralds told about the inner workings of the palace as well, but it was clear they did not know what they were… Continue

Chris Proposal to facilitate global peace and enable Human brilliance for all

I sent this to the Pope, as I have sent this out to everyone who says that they would like to see a change in the world and end the human created suffering, destitution, and death of children, women, and men, our fellow human beings. As a child, my Mother signed me up as an Altar Boy, and I grew up literally in St.Edward's Roman Catholic Church and School on Arlington Street in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. As I grew older, I read a lot and something I read really made an impression and made me a… Continue

Md. Ashraf Hossain Israel Palestine Conflict: The origin and the Prospect

Israel-Palestine Conflict: The Origin and the Prospects, by Md. Ashraf Hossain Israel-Palestine conflict is more problematic, more irreconcilable, and likely more difficult to solve than any other problem in the world, particularly in the Middle East. It combines high emotion with limited territory and intense ethnic and nationalistic view from both the groups leading to a history-based complicated issue that nobody apparently wants to sacrifice each other. But still there is reason to hope bec… Continue

Md. Ashraf Hossain US Attack on Iraq in 2003: Violation of International Humanitarian Law

A stated rationale for a potential attack on Iraq is the desire to remove any threat from weapons of mass destruction (WMD) that it possessed. Throughout 2002, the Bush administration made clear that removing Saddam Hussein from power in order to restore international peace and security was a major goal. The principal stated justifications for this policy of "regime change" were that Iraq's continuing production of WMD and known ties to terrorist organizations, as well as Iraq's continued viol… Continue

Clement M. Aapengnuo Finding lasting peace in Bawku (Northern Ghana)

Violent ethno-political clashes have marred Northern Ghana for decades. Bawku in Upper East Region has been the scene of repeated confrontations between the Mamprusi and Kusasi ethnic groups. Often presented as a conflict about chieftaincy and ethnic rivalry, the conflict is in its fifth decade, despite many efforts to resolve it. A wide range of political and economic competition over chieftaincy, land, markets, lorry parks and names of places are thus cut to fit the “ethnic conflict” or “chief… Continue

Cheryl Duckworth, Ph.D. Peace Education and Ft. Hood

Can peace education help to prevent the violent loss of life, such as we all witnessed recently at Ft. Hood? I believe that it is an essential piece of the puzzle. People offer various explanations regarding why a soldier murdered fellow soldiers. Some are pointing to Maj. Hassan’s Islamic identity or possible extremist views. Others point to his impending deployment to Iraq or sense of humiliation and social isolation. Since we know that very few behaviors are motivated by just one cause, I thi… Continue

David Swanson How to End Wars

By David Swanson Around the United States, peace groups are engaged in effective campaigns against proposed new military installations, local funding of weapons companies, and the routine destruction of the environment and of workers' health by such companies. Activists are building better media outlets, educating young people, educating old people, keeping military testing and recruiting out of schools, and discouraging the Army from building real-weapon video arcades in shopping malls. But wh… Continue

Krishna H. Pushkar Nepal's Tumbling Peace

Nepal's Tumbling PeaceEvery successful peace process has its time bound broader strategic norms along with an estimated destination. However, Nepal's peace process has been running in a mysterious rhythm. Neither the government itself nor related stakeholders are found serious, even the estimated destination of ongoing peace process of Nepal is under dubiousness. So, the ongoing peace process seems falling down into limbo. Appallingly, all larger and smaller parties attempt to take leadership of… Continue

Rene Wadlow Women and Universal Responsibility

Women, Universal Responsibility and the Healing of Nations Rene Wadlow* We should begin to develop from the level of the individual through that of society to the world at large, what I call a sense of universal responsibility: a deep respect for every living being who lives on this one small planet and calls it home. The Dalai Lama On 31 October 2002, the UN Security Council adopted unanimously Resolution 1325 urging “Member States to ensure increased representation of women at all decision-m… Continue
