Compiled by Dick Bennett for a Culture of
Peace. (#1 May 15, 2010. #2 May 15, 2011; #3 May 15,
2012; #4 May 15, 2013; #5 May 15, 2014).
Every year, 15th May is International
Conscientious Objection day. These six
newsletters offer a small anthology of writings and films for our own and
others education, for classrooms, for letters and columns to newspapers.
Around the world, all who understand the chaos,
brutality, and futility of wars remember all who refused to go to war and raise
awareness of the many who continue to be persecuted and imprisoned for refusing
to kill and be part of armed forces.

NATIONAL/INTERNATIONAL DAYS PROJECT
Two
kinds of violence disrupt the harmony of our world: individual and structural. This newsletter is part of OMNI’s
NATIONAL/INTERNATIONAL DAYS PROJECT, by which we affirm nonviolent DAYS, such
as United Nations DAY, Human Rights DAY, Conscientious Objectors’ DAY, and
strive for the goals of equity, health, protection of all species—that is, a
world free of war and war permitted or promoted by our warrior leaders. Read Richard Rubenstein’s book, Reasons
to Kill: Why Americans Choose War (2010).
Rubenstein analyzes seven “key rationales for war” employed by
successive leaders to gain public support for domination and destruction
instead of cooperation and construction.
Our
DAYS Project also counters the structural conditioning for violence and wars in
such celebrations as Columbus Day, Armed Forces Day, and Memorial Day. These national days of violence reinforce
the long history of US war-making and its drive for domination, hardness,
punishment, wars, invasions and interventions—hundreds since even before the some
fifty since WWII, amounting to permanent war. (See Gary Brumback, America’s Oldest Professions: Warring and
Spying; William Blum, Killing Hope and Rogue Nation.) --Dick

International
Conscientious Objector Day
15 May 2015
15 May every year: Raising awareness of those who refuse
to participate in armed conflict.
Conscientious Objectors are
those who, for moral or religious reasons, refuse to participate in armed
conflict or join the armed forces. International
Conscientious Objector Day is
marked around the world each year on 15 May. You can find further details on
the Peace Pledge Union website.
Also, take a look at CO Project, an
online archive and educational resource about Conscientious Objectors.
As well as relating to issues of peace and conflict, and linking in with history in terms of how Conscientious Objectors were treated during the two World Wars, this is also an important human rights issue and can give rise to interesting discussions about rights and responsibilities. Does your country have the right to force you to enlist, and do you have the right to refuse?

The International
Conscientious Objectors’ Day was initiated by the International Conscientious
Objectors' Meeting (ICOM). The ICOM was an annual meeting of COs and their
supporters held throughout the world to exchange ideas and offer solidarity.
In 1985, at a time when compulsory conscription was still commonplace, it
decided to use 15 May, to develop a sharper focus for action on conscientious
objection.
The Conscientious Objectors Stone here in Tavistock Square, London was unveiled on May 15 1994 by Sir Michael Tippett, Peace Pledge Union President and a one time conscientious objector |
