Have some kind of mindfulness practice on a daily basis to overcome stress producing unmindful mental, emotional, speech habits and adversarial reactions, pay attention to things we value and cultivate habits that brings contentment, joy and happiness for self and others, and extend our capacity for love, compassion and goodwill to all sentient beings.

1. We must tolerate the opinion of every individual and may consider it as a freedom of expression and thoughts.

2. We should respect every religious value of all religions in order to avoid sectarian violence.

3. The core nations should change their economic policies about the pheriphary nations.

4. All the state government must ensure the provision of welfare to the masses.

5. The fundamental rights under U.N declaration of Human Rights should be practice.

6. The conflicting issues should be resolved through negotiation and compromise. 

7. Every state should respect the sovergnity of other states.

Using religion affiliations to promote peace within the community.  The import of religious tolerance as espoused by various religions should the reference point of peace cohabitation of people within the community through the preaching of the peace gospel among members.

The essence of peace is many a time neglected and hardly felt unless and untill chaos usurp that the spirit of it begins to wave in the air,and it's absence became a fatal death.Therefore,peace as a concept must be thoroughly crasped and accurate dessemination of the message should cut across all works of life in other to ensure world peace and effect the change of a conflict free world.

A really interesting piece on 'UN Godmothers' (below) has just been sent to me by the UK-based internal aid workers' group Voluntary Service Overseas' (VSO).  Like many of
us, the VSO realises the hardest work re. UN Women has just begun - it faces
very considerable barriers, both internally in pulling together the former 4
rather contentious elements, in obtaining guaranteed and sufficient long-term
funding to do its job, the kind of funding entities like UNIFEM never had, and
above all performing its crucial role in ensuring not only UN Member States but
sister UN Agencies too really do enforce Gender equity rather than spout a lot
of hot air.

 

--------------------

 

UN Godmothers

 

The UN Godmothers: the Godmothers is a group of men and women who think women everywhere deserve a chance. Together we’ll watch over UN Women, help keep it on track and protect it from people who’d like to see it
fail - everything a good godmother would do. By making sure UN Women gets the
powers and funding it needs, we can make life better for millions of women
worldwide.

 

§     With 52 years experience sending volunteers to developing countries, VSO knows that by supporting women you can end poverty

 

§     UN Women is the opportunity of a generation to lift millions of women out of poverty; however it already has a massive funding shortfall.  Its success is dependent on strong and
immediate financial support from the UK and other governments  

 

§     You can help. Everyone everywhere can make the world a better place for women.  Sign up to be a UN Godmother at www.thegodmothers.org.uk.

 

Why become a Godmother?

 

 

The creation of UN Women is a beacon of hope. It’s recognition at the highest level of the contribution women make to society, and the pervasive barriers that stop many of them from fulfilling their potential.

 

But a new agency alone is not enough. Previous UN women’s agencies have been prevented from achieving their goals because they have lacked resources and clout. They have been excluded from top-level UN
decision-making forums. They’ve been denied the funding and staff to run
important programmes. And their role and the scale of their operations have
been unclear, resulting in confusion and wasted resources. For a similar fate
to befall UN Women would be a tragedy for millions of women.

 

The next few months are crucial. They’re when issues like the funding and scale of operations of UN Women will be determined. It all comes down to the decisions made by a handful of people. By showing them that
UN Women is important to us, we can convince them to give it the support it
needs.

 

VSO will be starting by asking the Government to fund the agency properly. More will follow as the action heats up.

 

We’re not asking for a big commitment. We’re not asking for hours of your time. Most of the things we’ll ask you to do will be as simple as sending an email, talking to your friends or signing your name. If
you want to get more involved, there’ll be plenty of opportunities. It’s the
best chance women around the world have. Help them seize it.

 

Help us end the discrimination that keeps millions of women in poverty. Worldwide more than 60 million girls have been forced into early marriage. Of the 780 million people who can't read, 510 million are
female. Women work two thirds of the world's working hours but earn just 10% of
the income.

 

The new UN women's agency could put a stop to all this. But to fulfil its promise it needs everyone's help.

Dear friends I wish that all our words would be translated in real doings and not stay as simple  promises taken by the wind, We need real fortress in our souls and spirits for to face the evil spirits from the enemies of Peace and to keep our open minds and hearts for to share all that we can with others, not the false spirit from all those who only live of preach the Peace for to receive foreign money in exchange and justify their expensives ways of life. It happens in my country Peru and Im sorry and ashamed from these kind of conducts.

Great Ideas, Peace makers, and one more if I can add is "Teach/preach (sow) peace to your children, they will teach peace to their childern and their children, and so forth, will see (reap) peace in the world then."

And a worldwide curriculum of PEACE EDUCATION (Education for peaceful co-existence) is the need at all levels and for all stakeholders. What do you think??

With best regards

Excellent ideas Craig!!

I would add to foster within our organziations and peace-related projects the implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 principles (plus Resolutions 1888 and 1889) about the effective participation of women in peacebuidling processes as key peacebuilders and decision makers, and introducing a gender perspective in our peace work.

Happy holidays to all of you from Peru!
