Non-Violence

  • We declare our commitment to strive for a culture of peace and cooperation between individuals, within communities and in relations between governments and citizens.
  • We commit to reducing the vulnerability of women and children to violence by building caring and protective communities.
  • We seek a justice system centred on rehabilitation and reconciliation rather than retribution and revenge.
  • We believe that local, national and global security should rest on cooperation, just economic and social structures and relations, ecological security, and vigorous protection of human rights.
