A l’occasion d’un \u00e9v\u00e8nement organis\u00e9 au si\u00e8ge de l’ONU \u00e0 New York sur le th\u00e8me de la culture de la paix, des hauts responsables de l’Organisation ont appel\u00e9 mercredi [9 septembre] la communaut\u00e9 internationale \u00e0 s’impliquer dans la mise en \u0153uvre du futur Programme de d\u00e9veloppement durable 2030 afin d’instaurer d\u00e9finitivement une culture de la paix \u00e0 l’\u00e9chelle mondiale.<\/p>\n

\u00ab La r\u00e9union d’aujourd’hui a pour but de nous confronter \u00e0 la dure r\u00e9alit\u00e9 du monde actuel, o\u00f9 les gens souffrent et meurent de la violence et d’atrocit\u00e9s \u00bb, a d\u00e9clar\u00e9 le Secr\u00e9taire g\u00e9n\u00e9ral des Nations Unies, Ban Ki-moon, \u00e0 l’ouverture d’un forum de haut niveau en faveur de l’\u00e9tablissement d’une culture de la paix qui avait lieu dans l’enceinte de l’Assembl\u00e9e g\u00e9n\u00e9rale de l’ONU.<\/p>\n

Citant en exemple le cas embl\u00e9matique de la Syrie, qualifi\u00e9e de pire crise humanitaire du moment, M. Ban a fermement condamn\u00e9 les violations des droits de l’homme et du droit international perp\u00e9tr\u00e9es dans le pays aussi bien par les autorit\u00e9s que par les groupes arm\u00e9s antigouvernementaux.<\/p>\n

\u00ab Notre incapacit\u00e9 \u00e0 mettre fin aux souffrances en Syrie est visible dans les camps et les maisons [d’accueil] en Jordanie, au Liban et en Turquie, mais aussi \u00e0 travers la bouleversante crise des r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s en Europe \u00bb, a d\u00e9plor\u00e9 le Secr\u00e9taire g\u00e9n\u00e9ral.<\/p>\n

Sur ce dernier point, le chef de l’ONU a exhort\u00e9 les dirigeants europ\u00e9ens \u00e0 mettre en \u0153uvre une r\u00e9ponse commune et humaine face \u00e0 l’afflux de r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s fuyant leurs pays en guerre pour atteindre l’Europe.<\/p>\n

M. Ban a \u00e9galement appel\u00e9 ces m\u00eames dirigeants \u00e0 se prononcer tr\u00e8s clairement contre la x\u00e9nophobie et la discrimination \u00e0 l’encontre des r\u00e9fugi\u00e9s et migrants.<\/p>\n

\u00ab Nous ne pouvons pas construire une culture de la paix sans une campagne active de sensibilisation contre la division et l’injustice \u00bb, a affirm\u00e9 le Secr\u00e9taire g\u00e9n\u00e9ral.<\/p>\n

Outre la promotion de l’\u00e9ducation, la d\u00e9fense des droits humains et le renforcement de la solidarit\u00e9, M. Ban a appel\u00e9 les Etats du monde entier \u00e0 promouvoir davantage la jeunesse.<\/p>\n

\u00ab Il est temps d’investir dans les jeunes en tant qu’artisans de la paix \u00bb, a-t-il estim\u00e9.<\/p>\n

A cette fin, M. Ban a mentionn\u00e9 l’espoir repr\u00e9sent\u00e9 par la future adoption du Programme de d\u00e9veloppement durable 2030 par les dirigeants mondiaux lors d’un sommet organis\u00e9 au si\u00e8ge de l’ONU \u00e0 New York fin septembre, en marge de la 70\u00e8me Assembl\u00e9e g\u00e9n\u00e9rale de l’Organisation.<\/p>\n

\u00ab Les objectifs de d\u00e9veloppement durable offrent une approche exhaustive de l’avanc\u00e9e \u00e9conomique, sociale et environnementale. Ceci est capital pour la pr\u00e9vention des conflits et la promotion d’une culture de la paix \u00bb, a affirm\u00e9 le Secr\u00e9taire g\u00e9n\u00e9ral.<\/p>\n

En conclusion de son discours, le chef de l’ONU a appel\u00e9 la communaut\u00e9 internationale \u00e0 faire sienne cet avertissement de Gandhi : \u00ab Il n’y aura pas de paix durable sur terre, \u00e0 moins que nous n’apprenions non seulement \u00e0 tol\u00e9rer mais aussi \u00e0 respecter les religions autres que la n\u00f4tre \u00bb.<\/p>\n

De son c\u00f4t\u00e9, le Pr\u00e9sident de l’Assembl\u00e9e g\u00e9n\u00e9rale, Sam Kutesa, a fait \u00e9cho aux propos de M. Ban en d\u00e9clarant que le nouveau Programme de d\u00e9veloppement et les 17 Objectifs de d\u00e9veloppement durable (ODD) qu’il comporte permettront d’instaurer une culture de la paix.<\/p>\n

\u00ab L’Objectif num\u00e9ro 16 des Objectifs de d\u00e9veloppement durable a trait \u00e0 la promotion de soci\u00e9t\u00e9s pacifiques et inclusives pour le d\u00e9veloppement durable. A travers l’Objectif num\u00e9ro 4, le Programme aspire \u00e9galement \u00e0 favoriser les syst\u00e8mes \u00e9ducatifs capables de promouvoir durablement une culture de la paix et de la non-violence \u00bb, a pr\u00e9cis\u00e9 M. Kutesa dans un discours lu par un Vice-pr\u00e9sident de l’Assembl\u00e9e, Einar Gunnarsson.<\/p>\n

Afin de veiller \u00e0 la mise en \u0153uvre du futur Programme et \u00e0 l’instauration d’une culture de la paix, le Pr\u00e9sident de l’Assembl\u00e9e g\u00e9n\u00e9rale a \u00e9mis une s\u00e9rie de recommandations, appelant la communaut\u00e9 internationale \u00e0 : promouvoir le dialogue et la compr\u00e9hension mutuelle, tout en renfor\u00e7ant le respect de la diversit\u00e9 religieuse et culturelle ; renforcer les principes de la libert\u00e9 de pens\u00e9e, de croyance et d’expression ; \u00e9liminer toutes les formes de discrimination et d’intol\u00e9rance ; d\u00e9velopper et \u00e9tendre les politiques qui favorisent la justice, la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 et la primaut\u00e9 du droit ; encourager une plus grande participation des femmes dans la pr\u00e9vention des conflits et la consolidation de la paix ; et faire un usage efficace des m\u00e9dias pour la promotion d’informations concernant une culture de la paix.<\/p>\n

\nQuestion related to this article:<\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n

Can the UN help move the world toward a culture of peace?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The following comes from the CPNN Coordinator’s blog of October 2012<\/a><\/p>\n

The United Nations and the Culture of Peace<\/p>\n

My ten years working in the United Nations system left me with a sweet and sour taste: the sweet side was the universality of the UN, both its staff and mandate, and its great significance for raising the consciousness of the peoples of the world; the sour side was the jealousy of the Member States who make sure that the UN does not encroach on their freedom to rule over their own citizens, as well as people in other countries that they may dominate through neo-colonial relations. This became crystal-clear to me when the United States delegate, during the informal meetings of the UN General Assembly in 1999, opposed the Declaration and Programme of Action on a Culture of Peace, saying that it would make it more difficult for them to start a war. In fact, throughout history, war (call it \u201cdefense\u201d if you prefer) has always been the most fundamental \u201cright\u201d of the state<\/p>\n

With this in mind, I have been pleasantly surprised by the extent to which the UN system has once again taken up the culture of peace as a priority, as shown in this month’s CPNN bulletin<\/a>, just as it was a priority in the Year 2000 when I was the director of the UN International Year for the Culture of Peace<\/p>\n

Of course, this does not happen by chance, and great credit belongs to two men who played key roles for the Year 2000, Federico Mayor Zaragoza, who made the culture of peace a priority of UNESCO, and Anwarul Chowdhury, who played the role of midwife at the UN General Assembly, guiding the culture of peace resolution through nine months of opposition by the powerful states. Once again, this last month, these two men motivated and spoke eloquently at the High Level Forum on a Culture of Peace at the UN<\/p>\n

As always it was the countries of the South who supported the initiative (see the CPNN article of September 24<\/a> and its discussion), but at least this month it was not blocked by the powerful states<\/p>\n

In fact, it is my impression that the powerful states pay less and less attention to the United Nations. When there was a financial crisis a few years ago, the powerful states did not turn to the UN agencies , the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, but set up their own temporary system of finance ministers, and when it came time for the review of nuclear non-proliferation, President Obama held his own meeting with heads of state in Washington and ignored the UN conference where the only head of state to speak was that of Iran. And the US has pulled out of UNESCO entirely, forcing drastic cuts in its budget<\/p>\n

In fact, the lack of attention by the powerful states may provide the UN system with an opportunity to push the agenda of the culture of peace without their opposition – let us hope that the UN can take advantage of this<\/p>\n

Of course, in the long run, the UN, or any other institution, cannot mandate a culture of peace; instead, the culture of peace can only grow from the consciousness, both understanding and action, of the peoples of the world (see last month\u2019s blog below). That\u2019s why the role of the UN for consciousnes-raising is ultimately its greatest contribution!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
