<\/center><\/p>\nAs we look back over the past few years of CPNN articles, we find many good leaders in the world today. The photo above comes from The Elders, the group of leaders organized under the sponsorship of Nelson Mandela before his death. Below we find articles from the Group of 77 Non-aligned Nations and UNASUR, as well as many leading individuals, some of which we only come to recognize when they have died, such as Father Berrigan, Julian Bond, not to mention Nelson Mandela. Others are still alive and we need to learn from their wisdom, such as Federico Mayor<\/a> and the Nobel Women<\/a>.<\/p>\n See also the discussion How can we carry forward the work of the great peace and justice activists who went before us?<\/a><\/p>\n Here are the CPNN articles on this subject:<\/p>\n \u2018A Voice That Upholds the Conscience of the World\u2019: Spain Honors Francesca Albanese for Efforts to Stop Gaza Genocide<\/a><\/p>\n Pope Leo calls for new \u2018cul\u00adture of peace\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n S\u00e1nchez, Lula Lead \u2018Work for Peace\u2019 and Equality at Gathering of Global Progressive Leaders in Spain<\/a><\/p>\n Pope Leo Delivers \u2018Rebuke\u2019 of Pete Hegseth With Anti-War Palm Sunday Sermon<\/a><\/p>\n USA: Speech of Bernie Sanders to NoKings Rally in Minneapolis<\/a><\/p>\n War in Iran: Elders call for consistency in defence of the international rule of law<\/a><\/p>\n Speech by the Permanent Representative of Cuba to the United Nations, Ambassador Ernesto Sober\u00f3n Guzm\u00e1n, at the commemorative event of the 12th Anniversary of the Proclamation of Latin America and the Caribbean as a Zone of Peace<\/a><\/p>\n IPU Statement on the International Day of Peaceful Coexistence<\/a><\/p>\n Appeal by Nobel Peace Prize winner Adolfo P\u00e9rez Esquivel.
