28.09.2006 Nepalilaiset ovat menettämässä uskonsa rauhan tuloon, pelkää Suomessa vieraileva ihmisoikeusaktiivi K.B. Rokaya.

Poliittiset puolueet ja maolaisliike sopivat kesäkuussa kahdeksan kohdan ohjelmasta, joka määrittelee tien konfliktin ratkaisuun ja demokratiaan, mutta sen toteuttaminen polkee paikoillaan.

A symbol of peace.
22.09.2006 In New York Secretary-General Kofi Annan rang the Peace Bell, on the seared fields of conflict in Somalia appeals rang out to end the violence and in Afghanistan children flew the once forbidden kites of hope as the United Nations system today marked the annual International Day of Peace from its stately Headquarters building to the furthest flung trenches of warfare.

Kofi Annan suona la campana della Pace
22.09.2006 “Oggi come negli altri 364 giorni, le violenze continuano a mietere vite innocenti. E queste ultime settimane hanno visto nuove escalation di conflitti in molte parti del mondo” - ha detto il Segretario generale dell’Onu Kofi Annan nel suo messaggio per la Giornata internazionale della Pace che si è celebrata ieri 21 settembre. E in un messaggio inviato alla Conferenza sulla Cooperazione Interreligiosa per la Pace in corso a New York, Annan ha lanciato un forte appello per il dialogo, la cooperazione e l'abbandono dei pregiudizi tra le fedi e ha messo in guardia contro le crescenti tensioni tra le principali religioni del mondo. Ieri era anche la Giornata Internazionale di Preghiera per la Pace dell'Onu: una giornata in cui "possano tacere le armi e in cui tutti, a partire dalla propria spiritualità, possano riproporsi di costruire la pace attraverso la nonviolenza". PaxChristi Italia ha aderito alla giornata chiedendo per domenica durante le liturgie una preghiera particolare per la pace.

15.09.2006 La Rete Caschi Bianchi (coordinamento degli enti Associazione Comunità Papa Giovanni XXIII, Caritas Italiana, Volontari nel Mondo FOCSIV e GAVCI) esprime soddisfazione per la proposta della Vice Ministra alla Cooperazione Patrizia Sentinelli al Tavolo per la ricostruzione del Libano in ordine alla costituzione di una forza civile di pace che favorisca il processo di ricostruzione e la soluzione non-violenta del conflitto. E l'Assemblea nazionale di "Action for peace", tenutasi a Firenze il 10 settembre scorso, propone a tutto il movimento contro la guerra e per la pace, entro novembre, una Manifestazione nazionale sulla base di un appello nel quale si sottolinea che "la missione militare in Libano, - pur con i limiti e le ambiguità della risoluzione ONU 1701 - è nata sul consenso delle parti in conflitto ed ha l'obiettivo ufficiale di interposizione e protezione dei civili", ma che è esposta al rischio di degenerazione se la politica non occupa immediatamente la scena, riguadagnando il terreno del negoziato e del dialogo con tutti gli Stati della Regione e mettendo al centro la soluzione della questione Israelo-Palestinese, condizione indispensabile perché prevalgano pace e giustizia in Medio oriente.
