APPEAL TO HIS HOLINESS POPE FRANCIS TO REPLACE JUST WAR THEORY WITH THEOLOGY OF 
PEACE, NONKILLING, AND NONVIOLENCE

Events, Notices
PRESENTATION TO NOBEL SUMMIT, ROME, ITALY. 12TH DECEMBER, 2014; by Mairead Maguire, Dear Brothers and Sisters, It is particularly appropriate that we are gathered here around International Human Rights Day and our theme is Peace and Living It. I believe that Peace is a Human Right for everyone, and its presence is necessary in order to protect and sustain all the other rights enshrined in the U.N. Universal Declaration of Human Rights. I am sure we can agree that although we have a Universal Declaration, we have a long way to go to ensure that our Governments implement and uphold all these rights.

USA/UK Committed Genocide Against Iraq People between l990/2012 killed 3.3 million including –750,000 children through sanctions and war

Notices, Press Releases
On September llth, 2014, President Obama, President of USA, on the anniversary of Sept., 11th, in his speech promised the world more war, and especially the people of Iraq and Syria when he promised that together with his coalition partners, they would kill every ISIS person in Iraq, Syria, or anywhere in the world they may be.

Moving Beyond Militarism: Nobel Women’s Initiative Releases 2013 Belfast Report

Events, Notices, Training
Over 100 individuals from more than twenty countries gathered in Belfast, Northern Ireland in May 2013 to hold a dialogue about women’s role in moving beyond militarism. The Nobel Women’s Initiative is pleased to announce the publication of our report from that conference, Moving Beyond Militarism: Women-Driven Solutions for a Nonviolent World. Six Nobel Peace Laureates were joined by more than 80 influential activists, academics and decision-makers from across the globe whose work focuses on ending militarism and war with nonviolent strategies for peace. Military budgets have increased over the past 20 years. Armed battles killed over 37 000 people worldwide which is more than four deaths every hour. This also means investments in health, education, environmental protection and other areas are neglected. Hyper-militarization has consequences on peace processes all…

SAY NO TO WAR AND MEDIA PROPAGANDA NO TO US/NATO AND YES TO PEACE

Notices, Press Releases
WHILE US/UK/NATO IS PUSHING FOR WAR WITH RUSSIA, IT BEHOVES PEOPLE AND THEIR GOVERNMENTS, AROUND THE WORLD TO TAKE A CLEAR STAND FOR PEACE AND AGAINST VIOLENCE AND WAR, NO MATTER WHERE IT COMES FROM. WE ARE AT A DANGEROUS POINT IN OUR HISTORY OF THE HUMAN FAMILY AND IT WOULD BE THE GREATEST OF TRAGEDIES FOR OURSELVES AND OUR CHILDREN IF WE SIMPLY ALLOWED THE WAR PROFITEERS TO TAKE US INTO A THIRD WORLD WAR, RESULTING IN THE DEATH OF UNTOLD MILLIONS OF PEOPLE. NATO’S DECISION IN WALES IN SEPTEMBER, TO CREATE A NEW 4,000 STRONG RAPID REACTION FORCE FOR INITIAL DEPLOYMENT IN THE BALTICS IS A DANGEROUS PATH FOR US ALL TO BE FORCED DOWN, AND COULD WELL LEAD TO A THIRD WORLD WAR IF NOT STOPPED.
