TOP PRIORITY: The organization's most important culture of peace activity |
HUMAN RIGHTS
|
PARTNERSHIPS AND NETWORKS: What
partnerships and networks does your organization participate in, thus
strengthening the global movement for a culture of peace? |
See 2005 report. New partnership have been with a few interfaith groups working in the Washington DC area.
|
ACTIONS: What activities have
been undertaken by your organization to promote a culture of peace and
nonviolence during the ten years of the Decade? If you already made a
report in 2005, your information from 2005 will be included in the 2010
report.
|
Actions during the first half of the decade may be found in the 2005 report of IVT on the Internet.
Continuing
work with Rwandan journalists in 2008 brought Ivan Kayonga, the TV
producer who interviewed Dr. Dane in 2005, to the U.S. to receive
recognition for his outstanding work with this taped interview. It
almost got him a spot on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" as the modern Parable
of the Mustard Seed. An invitation to the 2009 Oxford Roundtables
became Dr. Dane's opportunity to address the ethics of torture in terms
of the Geneva Convention.
|
PROGRESS: Has your organization
seen progress toward a culture of peace and nonviolence in your domain
of action and in your constituency during the second half of the
Decade? |
During
the latter half of this decade, the media helped to develop more
widespread understanding of the traumatic consequences of violence.
|
OBSTACLES: Has your organization faced any obstacles to implementing the culture of peace and nonviolence? If so, what were they?
|
Political
leaders of policy development continue to address only short term goals
of win-lose strategies rather that shifting to principles of conflict
resolution that rely on verbal negotiation.
|
PLANS: What new engagements are
planned by your organization in the short, medium and long term to
promote a culture of peace and nonviolence? |
|
GLOBAL MOVEMENT: How do you think the culture of peace and nonviolence could be strengthened and supported at the world level??
|
UNESCO
and WHO could continue to sponsor breakthrough conferences that
integrate evidence-based information on the consequences of trauma and
the linkage to identity studies showing increased negative perception
of others. The 1997 Algiers conference was on exceptional example of
positive outcome with this approach.
