Civilian Movement for Ministries or Departments of Peace in the World
description
On the 13th of May, 2008, Mr. Federico Mayor Zaragoza1 publishes an article in one of the mainstream newspapers of Spain: La Vanguardia, titled “Ministries for Peace”. In it he says: “With the new millennium the force of reason is expanding in a way that seems unstoppable in these next years, the conscience of the citizens' power, that pacifically, but firmly, will give in to submission towards the arbitrary designs of power. The force of reason against the reason of force, guided by the great universal values and not by the law of market, to return to humanity the reins of its destiny. It is this new citizenship that is capable of moving, with firmness but without violence, towards a Culture of Peace…” What has this 'global citizenship' been doing, apart from the civilian movements for Peace, to spur the political institutions towards a Culture of Peace? This article examines what has been done up to now by citizens around the world that have started a global movement called the GLOBAL ALLIANCE FOR MINISTRIES AND DEPARTMENTS OF PEACE and examines what is meant by Culture of Peace.

En el artículo puede leerse lo siguiente: “Con el nuevo milenio va extendiéndose, de forma que resultará imparable en los próximos años, la fuerza de la razón, la conciencia del poder ciudadano que, pacíficamente, con firmeza, ya no se resigna a vivir sometido a los más arbitrarios designios del poder. La fuerza de la razón frente a la razón de la fuerza, guiada por los grandes valores universales y no por las leyes del mercado, para devolver a la humanidad las riendas de su destino. Es esta nueva ciudadanía la que será capaz de movilizarse, con firmeza pero sin violencia, hacia una cultura de la paz.”¿Y qué ha hecho hasta la fecha esta “ciudadanía mundial”, además de poner en marcha movimientos civiles por la paz, para fomentar entre las instituciones políticas la cultura de la paz? He reunido información interesante de distintas fuentes que quisiera compartir. Lo haré en este orden: –Qué han conseguido hasta el momento ciudadanos de todo el mundo con la creación de un movimiento internacional llamado Alianza Global por los Ministerios y Departamentos de Paz. –Cuál es el significado de cultura de la paz (cuestión abierta a un debate posterior). –Cuál es el significado de Departamento o Ministerio de Paz (cuestión abierta a un debate posterior).2009text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=5587084(Revista) ISSN 2013-8857Journal of Conflictology, ISSN 2013-8857, Nº. 1, 2009, pags. 47-53engLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
