Peace and Security

oo often, the use of words is seen as weakness, and war is viewed as the only path to peace. But true strength lies in dialogue. Choosing nonviolence does not mean surrendering to injustice. It means standing with courage, using our words, values, and humanity to resist oppression.

Speaking truth, refusing violence, and challenging injustice through peaceful means are powerful actions. They lay the foundation for lasting peace and dismantle systems of tyranny. We believe diplomacy must recognize that there is no greater force than the spoken word—no stronger foundation for a healthy society than communication, dialogue, and mutual understanding.

War is not strength. It is failure. Too often, war has been waged in the name of peace—but peace can never be built on weapons. Peace means only one thing: building peace, not just declaring it.

🧭 A Peaceful Struggle

We are tired of seeing brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers carrying weapons in the name of peace.

We must find the courage to step away from conventions and comfortable silence—to struggle peacefully, using only our voices, our values, and our conscience.

Too often, false justifications are used to impose violence. But peace is not about domination or intervention.

Peace is built with peace. Not with missiles. Not with armies.

A human rights defender must embody this principle: acting through words, heart, and meaningful mediation. It is not about overpowering others, but about protecting the dignity of all.

Even today, after centuries of human history, we have not fully understood this simple truth. And every day, innocent people pay the price.

👦 Let Children Teach Us

Look at the classrooms of the world. Children of different backgrounds, cultures, and languages sit side by side—open-minded, unburdened by prejudice. Their light should guide us.

They teach us that an open mind can always find a way forward. That a heart free from selfish interests can find balance and peace.

Perhaps it’s time world leaders looked to children for inspiration—to remember what they’ve forgotten:

how to build peace from the ground up.
