Culture of Peace
" We the people of the United Nations determined to save succeeding generations from the scorge of war…"
Chater of the United Nations, 1945
The Culture of Peace is a set of values, attitudes, modes of behaviour and ways of life that reject violence and prevent conflicts by tackling their root causes to solve problems through dialogue and negotiation among individuals, groups and nations(UN Resolutions A/RES/52/13 : Culture of Peace and A/53/243 : Declaration and Programme of Action on a Culture of Peace).
It is promoted through UNESCO’s network of National Commissions, UNESCO Chairs, UNESCO Clubs, Artists for Peace, Associated Schools Project Network, Field Offices, Institutes ,and Non-Governmental Organizations.
