Manifesto 2000

Following I would like to inform you about the Manifesto 2000 for a Culture of Peace and Non-Violence, which was written by the Nobel Prize Peace Laureats, in order to create a sense of responsibility starting on a personal level; it is not an appeal or petition addressed to a higher authority.

It is the responsibility of each and every individual to put into practice the values, attitudes and forms of behaviour which inspire the culture of peace. Everyone can contribute to this aim within their family, their area, their town, their region and their country by promoting non-violence, tolerance, dialogue, reconciliation, justice and solidarity on a daily basis.

The Manifesto 2000 has been made public in Paris on March 4th 1999, and is open to signatures for the wider public all throughout the world

The goal is to present 100 million signatures to the United Nations General Assembly meeting at the turn of the millennium in September 2000.

Manifesto 2000 is for your analysis and eventual subscription. At the same time I ask you if you would be so kind to spread and distribute it between the colleagues of the respective countries and regions, for the same aims.

Manifesto 2000
For a Culture of Peace and Non-Violence

Recognising my share of responsibility for the future of humanity, especially for today's children and those of future generations, I pledge - in my daily life, in my family, my work, my community, my country and my region &#8211; to:

Respect the life and dignity of every person without discrimination or prejudice;

Practise active non-violence, rejecting violence in all its forms: physical, sexual, psychological, economical and social, in particular towards the most deprived and vulnerable such as children and adolescents;

Share my time and material resources in a spirit of generosity to put an end to exclusion, injustice and political and economic oppression;

Defend freedom of expression and cultural diversity giving preference always to dialogue and listening rather than fanaticism, defamation and the rejection of others;

Promote consumer behaviour that is responsible and development practices that respect all forms of life and preserve the balance of nature on the planet;

Contribute to the development of my community, with the full participation of women and respect for democratic principles, in order to create together new forms of solidarity.
