Manifesto 2000 for a culture of Peace and Non-violence

Because the year 2000 must be a new beginning, an opportunity to transform -
all together - the culture of war and violence into a culture of peace and
non-violence.

Because this transformation demands the participation of each and every one
of us, and must offer young people and future generations the values that
can inspire them to shape a world based on justice, solidarity, liberty,
dignity, harmony and prosperity for all.

Because the culture of peace can underpin sustainable development,
environmental protection and the well-being of each person.

Because I am aware of my share of responsibility for the future of humanity,
in particular to the children of today and tomorrow.

I pledge in my daily life, in my family, my work, my community, my country
and my region, to:

Respect the life and dignity of each human being 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 without engaging in 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;
