<\/center>Following the Second High Level Forum of the United Nations on the Culture of Peace, Anwarul Chowdhury, a former Under-Secretary General of the UN, had this to say about what the UN is doing for a culture of peace. His remarks were published by the Independent European Daily Express.<\/p>\nCivil society worldwide has been in the forefront of the global movement for the culture of peace, working diligently and patiently at the grassroots level, he said.<\/p>\n
“I find it is the governments and power structures which are the most persistent foot-draggers with regard to advancing the culture of peace through policy steps and action,” said Chowdhury, a former U.N. under-secretary-general and currently representing civil society and the Global Movement for the Culture of Peace. . .<\/p>\n
The United Nations, he pointed out, has shown great vision by adopting its historic, norm-setting Declaration and Programme of Action on the Culture of Peace in 1999, but has not been organised enough in making the document a system-wide flagship effort of the world body.<\/p>\n
“I am a believer that the world, particularly the governments, will come to realise its true value and usefulness sooner than later,” Chowdhury said.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, beginning with the High-Level Forum in 2023<\/a>, the civil society was excluded. As Ambassador Chowdhury noted at that time, “the \u201ccold-shoulder\u201d given to the culture of peace for this forum this year is part of a more general rejection of the culture of peace by the current United Nations administration.”<\/p>\n * * * * * * * * * * * *\n<\/p>\n This question applies to the following CPNN articles:<\/p>\n 2025 United Nations High-Level Forum on the Culture of
