Toward a Decade of Peace and Nonviolence Rebecca Janke A culture of peace will be achieved when citizens of the world understand global problems, have the skills to resolve conflicts and struggle for justice non-violently, live by international standards of human rights and equity, appreciate cultural diversity, and respect the Earth and each other. Such learning can only be achieved with systematic education for peace. Hague Agenda for Peace & Justice for the 21st Century, 1999.
