From violence and abuse within family units, to communities and regions torn apart by inter-group conflict and wars among nations, the human condition is rife with turmoil. The consequences of this seemingly perpetual strife weigh heavily on humanity, often creating feelings of powerlessness and hopelessness that only serve to breed more conflict and violence. In the face of these monumental challenges, initiatives for peace struggle to take root. Seeking effective ways to encourage these efforts, the United Nations adopted three declarations on the eve of the 21st century, including the “Declaration on a Culture of Peace” that broadly defines what the vision looks like and the actions necessary to build cultures of peace. Taking up this central challenge of our time, this volume of collected essays presents multiple perspectives on the critical issues of peace and conflict resolution that pervade the globe, addressing the UN’s charge to develop “values, attitudes, modes of behavior and ways of life conducive to the promotion of peace among individuals, groups, and nations.” Bringing together scholars and practitioners from fields including education, sociology, criminology, political science, and peace studies, this work constructively engages the task of creating peace and fostering hope in a conflict-ridden world.

Our world today is barraged by crises-war, famine, poverty, illness, global warming, a struggling economy. Are solutions even possible? Jeffrey Sachs, director of The Earth Institute, tells us: "None of the problems we face are beyond solution if we overcome the fear, which is the greatest obstacle of all." Voices for the Culture of Peace, volume 2, brings together fourteen speakers who share a broad spectrum of expertise and experience, from community activists to human-rights experts to conflict-resolution professionals and beyond. Each brings to the mix a wealth of ideas and, more important, hope for a better future by empowering the contributions of each of us. As Ambassador Anwarul Chowdhury, a longtime leader of efforts to build a culture of peace, says: "I have seen time and again how people-even the humblest and the weakest-have contributed to building the culture of peace in their personal lives, in their families, in their communities and in their countries. And that ultimately is contributing to build a new and better tomorrow for humanity and to the global movement for the culture of peace." The Soka Gakkai International-USA Culture of Peace Resource Centers-located in New York, Santa Monica, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Honolulu and San Francisco-offer the Culture of Peace Distinguished Speaker Series to engage people in a dialogue on the values, attitudes and behaviors that reject violence and inspire creative energy for peace. Lecturers in this series focus on one or more of the eight action areas defined by the 1999 United Nations Declaration and Programme of Action on a Culture of Peace: (1) Fostering a culture of peace through education, (2) Promoting sustainable economic and social development, (3) Promoting respect for all human rights, (4) Ensuring equality between women and men, (5) Fostering democratic participation, (6) Advancing understanding, tolerance and solidarity, (7) Supporting participatory communication and the free flow of information and knowledge and (8) Promoting international peace and security.

Illuminating issues centering on the subject of peace, this collection of rich ideas by leading intellectuals is intended to empower readers with the awareness of how subtle shifts in attitudes and behaviors can help attain and sustain a culture of peace.

Contributors include Anwarul K. Chowdhury, ambassador to the United Nations for Bangladesh; Betty Williams, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize; Jeffrey D. Sachs, director of the Earth Institute; and David Krieger, founder and president of the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation.

The culture of peace and non-violence is essential to human existence, development and progress. In 1999, the United Nations General Assembly adopted by consensus the norm-setting, forward-looking “Declaration and Programme of Action on a Culture of Peace”. Governments, institutions, NGOs, other civil society entities and, in particular, individuals – all are encouraged therein to contribute to the global movement for the culture of peace. Related to this vision, this rich and varied dialogue discusses how the culture of peace can be achieved in the world. Based on the extensive personal and professional experiences of two high-profile thinkers and activists, they analyse the challenges unfolding at local, national and global levels and how these relate to humanity's quest for peace, human security and happiness. Although coming from very different positions – one a Buddhist philosopher, educator and leader; the other a UN diplomat renowned for his international work in peace, development and human rights – these interlocutors are united in their search for justice and better quality of life for all and their conviction that women and young people are the most effective means to achieving positive change in the world. The dialogue provides ideas on the key challenges that face our planet: poverty and deprivation, war and violence, nuclear weapons and small arms, climate change and environmental degradation, weak governance and financial crises, marginalization of women and alienation of youth and the relentless drive for materialism. They also invite us to consider how the culture of peace can be practically achieved through an individual, collective and institutional transformation. Recognizing that global citizenship, multilateralism, women's equality and value-creating education are central and inter-linked themes, this dialogue also underscores the inherent strength of spirituality, compassion, empathy, forgiveness, respect for diversity and empowerment that comes from the trials and tribulations of life.
