  • Peace and security are fundamental human rights. All rights are jeopardized when people are subject to the threat of violence.
  • Military action must be a measure of last resort, only to be considered once all other options have been exhausted.
  • Peace takes hard work and proactive engagement from all of us.
  • Even small, seemingly insignificant acts promoting peace can build fertile ground for peaceful relations.
  • People have both a duty and a right to improve their world, all the way from their immediate environments to the global stage.
  • Slamming doors and severing the lines of communication is both easy and lazy. When things get bad, it takes real courage and hard work to maintain interaction and communication.
