KEY POINTS
· The P5 statement reaffirms that a “nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought” because of its “far-reaching consequences”.
· The P5 statement was followed by a warning from UN Secretary-General that nuclear annihilation is “just one misunderstanding or miscalculation away”.
· Gandhi taught us that the right to peace is an essential framework for all human rights and that waging peace is everyone’s work, regardless of vocation, profession, or discipline.
· This is required at multiple levels, ranging across the planetary, global, supranational, regional, national, and local levels of social cognition and action.
· Critical peace education should perform a number of tasks. Among these are: Bearing witness to negativity
· Gandhi would have certainly welcomed the slender but significant UN Resolution 39/11 (November 12, 1984), which “solemnly proclaims that the peoples of our planet have a sacred right to peace” and equally solemnly declares that the “preservation of the right of peoples to peace and the promotion of its implementation constitute a fundamental obligation of each State”.
· The subsequent UN Resolution 53/243 B, declaring a programme of action for a culture of peace (1999) also owes a great deal to Gandhi’s legacy and mission. May the managers of our education system no longer privilege ignorance and the promotion of social indifference, resilient even now.
