CPNN

It has become increasingly difficult to find good news to report this year.

The most terrible war crimes in recent memory continue to be committed by Israel against the Palestinian people including their genocide of Gaza. And this continues to receive the support of the United States. Meanwhile Europe is rearming as if in preparation for their Third World War, failing to consider that nuclear weapons have changed the nature of war. And the United States continues to lead the world in armaments, announcing their largest military budget of history. Wars continue in the Ukraine and Sudan and India and Pakistan started what could have become nuclear war.

As The Elders declare, “The risk of nuclear catastrophe is higher than at any time since the Cold War. Leaders are failing to uphold international law, and eroding basic norms. We are regressing into a world in which the rule of law is being replaced by rule by power, with a destabilising new nuclear arms race.”

The few good news stories below consist mostly of protests against these wars and rearmaments.

As we said in last month’s bulletin, CPNN cannot be content to report the news for a culture of peace.

WE MUST CREATE IT.

Last month the launch of the Peace Manifesto 2025 did not achieve the results we hoped for. Perhaps you are one of the hundreds of people who went to our website but failed to publish the Manifesto on social media. And perhaps you found, as we were told by some readers, that the instructions were too complicated to follow.

So we are relaunching the initiative this month, with a revised website that provides a simple procedure to post the Manifesto on social media.

Please go to our website, https://activatingpeace.org and click on facebook, instagram or linkedin to share the Manifesto.

To become successful, there needs to be enough posts that the Manifesto “goes viral” and continues to do so “until we win” a culture of peace.

It is not enough to report. We must create the good news!

Here is the new frontpage of our website

THE PEACE MANIFESTO

I’m sick and tired of the culture of war, so I give my support to the culture of peace, and I will keep spreading the word on social media until we win. I live in City, Country .
