Deeply concerned over the non-violent approach through education in its broadest sense, the
International Association of Educators for World Peace (IAEWP) urges the creation of a new breed of
scientists, philosophers, parents, students, all educators, and especially leaders who are inspired with
the vision of restoring world peace.
IAEWP's mission is to contribute to the improvement of man's ability to live at peace, to educate world
citizens for peaceful co-existence and cooperation so that all people may have free access to the
achievement of science and civilization.
We plan to set up a countervailing force to war, to marshall those forces for peace that now lie latent in
every human heart. With the unique participation of enlightened and determined citizens, we can initiate
and further promote those projects and activities needed to light up the pathway to world peace. Our
major focus will be to plan ventures in international cooperation that would emphasize technology as it
can benefit the entire human race and as the alternative to war.
IAEWP was founded in Oslo, Norway in 1970, by a group of educators who are socially conscious and
shared the same vision and concern over the increasingly violent culture worldwide.
IAEWP is now has chapters in over 100 countries, with consultative status at many United Nations
agencies and since 1987 is a designated Peace Messenger of the United Nations.
Objectives

PEOPLES PARLIAMENT TO BE DISCUSSED AT THE UN/NGO CONFERENCE
After three decades of dedicated work a significant breakthrough has been achieved at the
United Nations. For the first time the concept of a Peoples Parliament within the UN system,
under UN Charter Articles 22 or 7.2, will be included in the annual UN/NGO Conference. The
conference is from September 6-8 at the UN Headquarters in New York. The session on a
Peoples Parliament will be held on September 8 from 12:30 pm to 2:30 pm. in the UN
Correspondents Club on the 3rd floor.
A People's Parliament, as a companion to the General Assembly, would facilitate the creation
of effective partnerships to work for human security and sustainable development and add an
effective moral voice to deliberations at the UN on the critical global issues.
