MANIFESTO FOR A WORLD WITHOUT WARS WARS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN PRESENT IN HISTORY BUT TODAY THE NUCLEAR THREAT PUTS HUMANITY AT THE EDGE OF AN ABYSS In the history of humanity wars have always been present, but the forms they took and the types of suffering they imposed on the populations varied markedly. The first conflicts were sometimes solved in combats between chiefs of clans or tribes, minimizing in this way the number of deaths. At other times the victims in the battle fields were mercenaries of armies to whom kings and noblemen paid the "soldada" for their services. Today, the battle fronts extend to the civilian populations that become their direct and involuntary scenarios in which an army attacks a destitute and defenceless population and by virtue of such an attack their dead become the political weapon of those who "direct" the conflict from another scenario in which they declare war or sign agreements of peace or surrender.

World Without Wars The association World Without Wars works to promote and foster all kinds of ideas and actions that have the potential of helping put an end to war in our world. Its methodology of action is based on active nonviolence. Founder Rafael de la Rubia introduced World Without Wars at the international level for the first time in 1995, at the “Open Encounter of Humanism” at the University of Santiago in Chile, an event attended by delegates from more than 50 countries. Since that time WWW has been developing numerous activities in many countries on the five continents. Over the last year it has focused on campaigns for worldwide nuclear disarmament. Convinced that a world without violence is possible, WWW takes its inspiration from the philosophy of Universalist Humanism and the doctrine of its antecedents WWW subscribes to and promotes the “Humanist Document,” whose basic tenets are:

Why

Written by Administrative Team
Wednesday, 20 August 2008 10:11
Because we can end world hunger with 10% of what is spent on arms, Imagine how life would be if 30-50% of the arms budget went toward improving people’s lives instead of being used for destruction. Because eliminating wars and violence means leaving human pre-history behind and taking a giant step forward in the evolution of our species.. Because we are accompanied by the voices of all the war-torn generations that came before us. The echo of their voices still resounds throughout the world, wherever armed conflict leaves its sinister memorial to the dead, disappeared, disabled and displaced. Because a “world without wars” is an image that opens the future and seeks to become reality in every corner of the planet, as violence gives way to dialog. *The moment has come for the voiceless to be heard! Out of agonizing and urgent need, millions of human beings are crying out for an end to wars and violence.* *We can make that happen by uniting all the forces of pacifism and active non-violence worldwide.*

It will conclude in the Andes Mountains (Punta de Vacas, Aconcagua, Argentina) on January 2, 2010. The March will last 90 days, three long months of travel. It will pass through all climates and seasons, from the hot summer of the tropics and the deserts, to the winter of Siberia. The stages will be the longest American and Asian, both almost a month. A permanent base of a hundred people of different nationalities will complete the journey. In every city the March visits, local individuals and groups will organize forums, meetings, festivals, conferences, and events (sports, cultural, social, musical, artistic, educational, etc., depending on their own creative initiative. At this time hundreds of projects have already been set in motion by different individuals and organizations.

The March was initiated by “World Without Wars,” an international organization that has been working for 15 years in the fields of pacifism and non-violence. The World March, however, will be created and shaped by everyone. Open to any person, organization, collective, group, political party, business, etc., that shares the same aspirations and sensibility, this project is not something closed. Instead, it is a journey that will be progressively enriched as different initiatives set their contributions in motion. That is why this is an invitation to anyone and everyone to participate freely. So that wherever the March goes, the local people can contribute their creativity in a great convergence of multiple activities. There’s space for everything the imagination is capable of conceiving. The possible channels of participation are multiple and diverse, including virtual participation in the March through Internet. This is a march by and for the people, with hopes of reaching most of the world’s population. For this reason we are asking all media to spread the word about this journey around the world for Peace and Non-violence.
