In human rights and peacemaking, it's really about having a solid concrete goal - the reduction of human suffering somewhere in the world - and then doing what is required to get that goal achieved.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I know of no greater work for humanity than in the cause of peace, which can only be achieved by the earnest efforts of nations and peoples.
Our most important task is to transform our consciousness so that violence is no longer an option for us in our personal lives, that understanding that a world of peace is possible only if we relate to each other as peaceful beings, one individual at a time.
Peace as a goal is an ideal which will not be contested by any government or nation, not even the most belligerent.
We want peace to be permanent.
Another essential to a universal and durable peace is social justice.
Promoting tolerance and human dignity is one of mankind's unfinished challenges.
Everybody wants peace. That's a truism. There is no point in accomplishing through war what you can accomplish through peace.
Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal.
I believe in peace-building in any kind of platform, be it a political platform like Parliament or negotiations like peace-building negotiations.
For development, peace is essential.
