OMNI NATIONAL/INTERNATIONAL DAYS PROJECT
“Terrible wars have been fought
in the past because people thought that they could not live in the same world
together, or because they thought their beliefs were in head-on collision with
those of their neighbors. Then, with
time, they found that it was not only possible but necessary to make a working
compromise that allowed for the differences.
They found that it was not only possible but necessary to accept the
principle of diversity in human society.”
Dag Hammarskjold (form UN Secretary General). Quoted in Hammarskjold: A Life by Roger Lipsey
“I wonder how the foreign policies of the United States
would look if we wiped out the national boundaries of the world, at least in
our minds, and thought of all children everywhere as our own.” Howard Zinn
“If I define my neighbor as the one I must go out to look
for, on the highways and byways, in the factories and slums, on the farms and
in the mines, then my world changes.”
Gustavo Gutierrez, Founder of Liberation Theology
“As man advances in civilization, and small tribes are
united into larger communities, the simplest reason would tell each individual
that he ought to extend his social instincts and sympathies to all the other
members of the same nation, though personally unknown to him. This point being once reached, there is only
an artificial barrier to prevent his sympathies extending to the men of all
nations and races.” Charles Darwin, The Descent of Man.
“Abolishing war in the 21st century is not only
realistic in the sense that it is possible, but also realistically necessary
for human survival and well-being. The
peacemaking primate has the capacity to do so.” Douglas Fry, The Human Potential for Peace, p. 262.
“As our hearts open to deeper understanding, our circle of
compassion naturally enlarges and spontaneously begins to include more and more
‘others’—not just our own tribe, sect, nation, or race, but all human beings,
and not just humans, but other mammals, and birds, fish, forests, and the whole
beautifully interwoven tapestry of living, pulsing creation. All beings.
All of us.” Will Tuttle, The World Peace Diet, p. 293.

2013 Peace Day Theme:
Education for Peace Featured
The 2013 International Day of Peace theme has
been chosen, it is "Education for Peace". 2013 is a vital year in
which to engage larger numbers of people around the world in the awareness of
Peace and the practices of PeaceBuilding. The United Nation's International Day
of Peace (IDP) provides the focal point for thousands of NGOs globally, to
inspire and engage many millions of constituents. Toward that end, the theme
for the 2013 IDP, Education for Peace, was chosen on the inspiration of the
U.N. Secretary General's Education First Campaign, an initiative to raise the political
profile of education, strengthen the global movement to achieve quality
education and generate additional and sufficient funding through sustained
advocacy efforts.
The 2013 Peace Day theme highlights education as an important path toward a
more peaceful world as well as the crucial need for educational programming
specific to the subject of peace. Achieving gains in education will have an
impact on all the Millennium Development Goals as well, from lower child and maternal
mortality, to better health, higher income and more environmentally-friendly
societies.

Dear Culture of Peace Initiative Participants and
Supporters,
The International Day of Peace is
one month away. Many observances will start sooner. One
focus of this issue is to help organizations create and disseminate
press releases to raise awareness of your Peace Day events - and your
year round peacebuilding practices. Below that is information on
some new or significant events - as well as ways to network and promote
your organization or efforts for this year's global observance.
Press Release Tips:
It is important to obtain local media coverage to promote your event
for the International Day of Peace. In fact for many events,
local coverage may be the most likely to occur. Go to the
websites of the top newspapers and TV and radio stations in your
area to a link that says "Contact Us", "News Tips"
or "Press Releases". You should be able to e-mail or
paste your press release into a form and submit it.
The following link may be of assistance to you. http://www.developer-resource.com/how-to-send-press-releases.htm
Sending press releases to on-line newsletters and organizations that
have such newsletters, or Facebook pages, or blogs, may also help to
promote your event and / or organization. If your NGO has many
local branches (and some of you have hundreds), you may wish to forward
your Press Release to these various locations for their own use.
Here is a Press Release Template - that you can use or adapt:
YOUR ORGANIZATION is... Observing
the International Day of Peace, Sept. 21
YOUR CITY / TOWN / LOCATION – This year much of humanity will conduct
the largest global observance of the International Day of Peace ever on
or around Sept. 21st. Thousands of organizations and hundreds of
millions of people worldwide observe this occasion. Many events
last for several days. Some will start on this year's 10th anniversary
of Sept. 11, 2001; others will continue through Oct. 2, Gandhi's
birthday and the International Day of Non-Violence. One focal
point across the entire planet will be the minute of silence at 12:00
noon, in all time zones worldwide, on Sept. 21 - as requested by Ban
Ki-moon, Secretary General of the United Nations.
(DESCRIPTION OF YOUR LOCAL, REGIONAL OR GLOBAL - EVENTS HERE.
POSSIBLY WITH A PHOTO / IMAGE FROM LAST YEAR OR ELSEWHERE.)
(NOTE, PROVIDING THE FOLLOWING BACKGROUND INFORMATION ABOUT THE
INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE WILL HELP EDITORS TO UNDERSTAND THE SCOPE OF
THIS OCCASION AND THE SIGNIFICANCE OF YOUR EVENTS & ACTIONS - AND
ENCOURAGE THEM TO WRITE ABOUT THEM & YOU.)
The International Day of Peace was established by a unanimous resolution
of the United Nations in 1981. Its mission is to provide a common time
period for individuals, organizations and nations to create practical
acts of peace on or near a shared date, and to bring together efforts
from around the world whose ultimate focus is to promote peace and
sustainability. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the
International Day of Peace. In recent years, this observance has
included significant portions of humanity due to the proliferation of
wireless technology, computers and cell phones,
The United Nations announced earlier this year that the theme for this
year's International Day of Peace 2011 is 'Make Your Voice Heard'.
In doing so it thanked the thousands of organizations who have
'institutionalized' this observance worldwide.
Peace Day saves lives. Nations and governing bodies the world
over are joining the call for peace through a range of activities
including ceasefires, proclamations, and pledges for humanitarian
aid. Religious groups and educational institutions across the
planet are conducting both educational and community service
programs. Many non-government organizations use this occasion as
an opportunity to promote their year round efforts, whether their focus
is on human rights, the environment, humanitarian relief, poverty,
health care, disarmament or international cooperation. World
leaders and public figures call for participation; businesses and
professionals create various types of promotions; individuals can
participate in many ways - even privately, or with friends and
family. The combination of all of these activities creates long
term impact, beyond the annual observance.
One such peacebuilding effort, that (YOUR ORGANIZATION"S NAME)
participates with, is the Culture of Peace Initiative (CPI), which is a
UN-designated Peace Messenger program established by Pathways To Peace
that includes thousands of organizations from around the world.
Pathways To Peace has been working with the United Nations to promote
the observance of the International Day of Peace since its inception in
1981. The Culture of Peace Initiative has promoted peace by
bringing together previously unseen and unheard voices working towards
peace, as well as uniting the strengths of established organizations to
help create a worldwide 'culture of peace' for future
generations. For more information about Pathways To Peace, the
Culture of Peace Initiative, and the International Day of Peace as well
as listings of thousands of events worldwide, please visit www.internationaldayofpeace.org , www.cultureofpeace.org , and www.pathwaystopeace.org .
Here is a link to a 3 minute informative and entertaining video about
the International Day of Peace. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSr2gBsg9dI
(ADD YOUR ORGANIZATION'S LOCAL CONTACT INFORMATION HERE AT THE BOTTOM
OF YOUR PRESS RELEASE)
####Updates of significant programs and promotional
opportunities:
The EVENT LOCATOR on our websites for
2011 is open for all to use. Please post your events on our
websites www.internationaldayofpeace.org and / or www.cultureofpeace.org . Events posted on
either site automatically show up on the other site. This will
give your event the widest possible global exposure. Events
listed will also be included in our annual Culture of Peace
Initiative (CPI) report
to the United Nations. Thank you.
The Peace Wave: There will be a Minute of Silence at Noon
in All Time Zones Worldwide, as requested by Ban Ki-moon, Secretary
General of the UN and sponsored by Pathways To Peace on behalf of the
Culture of Peace Initiative. We are a network of thousands of
groups working year round to produce and promote practical
peacebuilding activities. Many groups are actively promoting this
'Minute of Silence' and tens of millions of people will be doing this.
Together we can envelope the world with a 'Wave of Peace'.
For those who don't know, Pathways To Peace initiated this program over
20 years ago - and even called it The Peace Wave back then. In
fact, the idea for the Secretary General's annual request for the minute
of silence at noon in all time zones actually stemmed from this
program. Of course, global technology wasn't what it is
today. In more ways than one, this is an idea whose time has
come. Peace begins within - but extends to wherever we take it.
Our FACEBOOK PAGE has 35,000 members! People and organizations
from all over the world post there - and learn about, and network with,
each other. Check it out.www.facebook.com/peaceday
You CAN NOW SHARE this newsletter on Facebook, Twitter, and Linked In
by clicking on the icons at the top of this page - above our logo.
Peace Wave Facebook event: In keeping with the Secretary
General Ban Ki-moon's request for a Minute of Silence at Noon in All
Time Zones Worldwide, we have created a Facebook event for this.
Please invite your Facebook friends to participate and share
this. Together, we can take this 'viral' and create a 'wave' of peaceful
energies surrounding the planet and encompassing all of humanity. https://www.facebook.com/groups/140189526027805/?id=218384681541622#!/event.php?eid=184359108294303
Peace Day TV will be promoting The Peace Wave: The Minute of Silence at Noon
In All Time Zones Worldwide during their Global Peace Day Broadcast.
Every hour throughout the International Day of Peace, their broadcast
will issue a reminder for people to do this in their particular time
zone. These reminders will include lists of countries and major
cities in the time zone for each hour, as well as public service
announcements by world leaders and public figures reminding people to
do this. They will also list organizations that will be promoting
this observance to their members. If you would like your
organization listed there, as well as on the International Day of Peace
Facebook page, please send the name of your organization topeaceday@comcast.net and melvin@pathwaystopeace.org . Thank you.

Dedication: We dedicate this issue to Grandfather William Commanda,
the Algonquin spiritual leader, who passed away recently at the age of
97. Elder Commanda was honored at the International Day of Peace
ceremonies in Montreal,
as "Pacifist of the Year" on September 21, 2006. An Algonquin
Elder from Kitigan Zibi Reserve, the great, great grandson of
Pakinawatik, the hereditary Anishinabe chief who led his people to
settle in their traditional hunting and trapping grounds in the Ottawa
River area in the mid eighteen hundreds, Elder Commanda was also Keeper
of three Wampum Belts of sacred and historic importance: the Seven
Fires Prophecy Belt about choice, the 1700's Belt about sharing, and
the 1793 Jay Treaty Border Crossing Belt about borderlessness.
More recently, Elder Commanda worked with Cercle de Paix – Circle of
Peace, which represents Pathways To Peace and The Culture of Peace
Initiative in Canada.www.circleofpeace.ca
He actively promoted a "Culture of Peace" as he pursued his
Vision for the Development of A Healing and Peace Building Centre on
the traditional Spiritual Meeting Grounds of the Anishnabec People
until the very end. Migwetch for your teachings Grandfather and
for being such an example to us all. http://www.angelfire.com/ns/circleofallnations/page2.html

We Would Have World Peace
If the Schools Taught Peace
By Dick Bennett
During the
debates over health care in the United States, I never read
directly from or read about the leading nations of the world in good health
and well-being. One would think
comparison with Denmark’s
health care (free hip operations include a free rehab hospital in Spain) and health
care in France (a free pre-natal nurse for every pregnant woman continuing
post-birth), for two examples, would
be part of the deliberative process.
Likewise, I
cannot recall, during recent US elections, comparisons with the
political systems of other countries.
What has worked better in other democracies? What are the alternatives to US
elections that create more democratic results? The British Parliamentary system? Nations with workplace democracy? Again, this kind of comparative
knowledge seems essential if we are to make wise decisions for the
future. One would think every
election would inspire close examination of the US process through comparison
with other nations.
That our
political leaders do not provide this critical thinking is perhaps
understandable, except in the genuine, rare leader. The same situation prevails regarding
the creation of world peace. Our
media and educational institutions might make international comparison
fundamental to their mission of enlightenment for a well-informed
citizenry
in a democracy.
Our newspapers and television news programs and K through 12 and
college education might bring us the programs and classes necessary for
contradiction analysis (a basic tool for exposing fallacies and hypocrisy),
for empathy, and for their offspring compassion.
Let me give
an example from the so-called “War on Terrorism” that has continued the
“Cold War” to perpetuate continual wars that some commentators refer to as
“permanent war.” The U.S. declared its invasion of Iraq in 1991/Iraq War I, called “Operation
Desert Storm,” the Gulf War, to be a heroic defense of conquered Kuwait,
part of its global role as defender of freedom at home and abroad. That Kuwait was a kingdom, Saddam
Hussein had been given a green light by our Ambassador, and Congress
facilitated lies regarding Iraqi atrocities against Kuwaitis, are only
minor difficulties with this argument.
The main problem is the hypocrisy of our leaders. No matter how much money was involved in
congressional campaigns from the military-corporate complex (Exxon
Pentagon), or no matter how much flag waving, war drumming, and lying pressured
the public, had our congressmen and public been well-informed about US
imperial history (empathy for the dozens of underdog countries and hundreds
of thousands of people bombed and gunned) and in the techniques of
fallacious deception (familiar for more than a hundred years), the congressional
representatives would have been thoughtful and the public would have acted
as citizens.
With this
knowledge and skill, the media and the educational system can provide the
perspective by which we can see through constructed meanings and see reality--of
the “enemies” (political definitions) and the victims (napalm and shrapnel
being a reality), and understand, too, the consequences of proposed and
planned wars. No one in power, no
school or college, and few newspapers stood against the storm of bombs and
bullets soon to begin. And one main
reason is that they did not even try to imagine the “enemy.” They did not try to visualize the burned
bodies, the destroyed homes, a nation in ruin. And they did not try to conceive of the
extended consequences, the hatred not only from relatives and friends, but
by the sympathizers for fellow members of faith, or by the countless
supporters of underdogs/haters of bullies.
Listen to
Moazzam Begg, a British citizen who was imprisoned and tortured by the US military
as an “enemy combatant” for more than three years before being released without charge.
“There wasn’t
anyone I knew in the Asian community [in Birmingham,
England] who supported Operation Desert Storm. . . .my father and I
felt it was a demonstration of a particular kind of hypocrisy that seemed
so typical of certain Western nations. . . .
“Neither of
us liked the Iraq
occupation of Kuwait,
which would have been the underdog.
But Kuwait
was never the issue. Several UN
resolutions had clearly designated Palestine,
Kashmir, and South Lebanon as occupied territories, and yet there was no
concerted US
action for liberating them. In
fact, Israel’s
occupation of Palestine was wholeheartedly
supported by the US.” [Very few members of Congress remembered
these facts, connected these dots, and apparently the same was true about
the mainstream media and the public.]
Furthermore, where did Saddam get his weapons for the invasion of Kuwait? “Iraq
‘s forces had been bolstered by weapons supplied by the US, UK
and France
in an attempt to check the spread of Iranian-style Islamic revolutions in
the Arab world.” What had the West
done when Iraq invaded
the Shatt al-Arab waterway in Iran? Supplied chemical weapons to
Saddam.”
Moazzam Begg did not become a terrorist, but out
of the knowledge they had about US contradictory, biased, violent behavior regarding “good” nations and
“bad” nations, people all over the
world did become terrorists and do today.
But the US
invasion did not have to happen, and would not have happened, or would have
been restricted in scope (no Highway of Death), had they been well-informed
about the history leading up to Operation Desert Storm and educated to
question the rationalizations (the whole panoply of fallacies) employed to
justify mass killing.
Perhaps you
have already thought that the existence of the enormous US Pentagon forces
was another impetus to invasion as powerful as historical ignorance and
lack of skeptical skill. If you arm
yourself you are prepared to use it, including anticipatorily, or as
invaders say, to prevent attack. Let
our schools teach the nations of the world and teach our youth to examine
and compare them with our own. Teach Denmark and nations like it,
that, instead of arming for “defense,” act charitably toward their citizens
and people around the world.
