. THE PEACE MANIFESTO 2025 .<\/big><\/em><\/center><\/p>\n
\n

\nIn recent months, we have published signs of a fightback, some light in this time of darkness in Gaza, Ukraine, Sudan and now in the US against Trump and Musk.\n<\/p>\n

\nThis month we are making the fightback and we are shining a light ourselves. CPNN is proud to have been involved from the beginning in the Peace Manifesto 2025 that is being launched today, May 1.\n<\/p>\n

Here is the press release that has been sent to media around the world.\n<\/p>\n

\nSICK AND TIRED OF THE CULTURE OF WAR? SHARE THE PEACE MANIFESTO 2025\n<\/p>\n

Saying they are “sick and tired of the culture of war,” Nobel Peace Laureates and other peace organizations and peace activists hope to repeat the success of the Manifesto 2000 that was signed by 75 million people during the UN International Year for the Culture of Peace. They announce that the Peace Manifesto 2025 will be launched on May 1.\n<\/p>\n

Its text is simple; “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 [your City, Country].”\n<\/p>\n

One of the organizers of the new manifesto, David Adams, was in charge of the mobilization of the Manifesto 2000. He says that the success in the year 2000 struck fear in the heart of the military-industrial complex to such an extent that the initiative was shut down. “This time,” he says, “we are not relying on any organization run by states, but we are simply asking the youth of the world to disseminate the Manifesto 2025 on social media. We believe that the current state of the world demands it.”\n<\/p>\n

The Manifesto 2025 is supported by Nobel Peace laureates Mairead Maguire and the International Peace Bureau. Maguire, who is now on a hunger strike to support the people of Gaza (see article below), says “I am very delighted that you are relaunching the culture of peace and wholeheartedly give my support to your efforts.” And Jay Ngoma, the granddaughter of Bishop Desmond Tutu and representative of Desmond Tutu Peace Foundation, says “This manifesto couldn’t come at a more important time, and I wholeheartedly stand with the movement to amplify the voices of youth and civil society in building a just and peaceful world.”\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\n“Our world and Mother Earth continue to be deeply fractured by crises, conflicts and the suffering of wars, injustices, human rights violations, discriminations, and ecological destruction. The Peace Manifesto 2025 urgently appeals to all humanity to embrace personal and social action to build a peaceful, nonviolent, just, compassionate, inclusive and sustainable web of life”, says another of the organizers, Toh Swee-Hin, former professor at the United Nations University for Peace and laureate of the 2000 UNESCO Prize for Peace Education.\n<\/p>\n

The many partners of the initiative include Mouvement de la Paix, World Without War, the Global Campaign for Peace Education, Pathways to Peace and the Asia-Pacific Centre of Education for International Understanding. Other partners include organizations in Philippines, Colombia and Palestine.\n<\/p>\n
