Please allow me to express my deep respect for your continuing efforts toward the realization of everlasting world peace amid today's harsh international conditions. As I am sure you are aware, thjsAjugusJjyhe Cityof Hiroshima, with the participation of Hiroshima citizens and individuals from all walks of life, will hold the Peace Memorial Ceremony to comfort the souls of those people whose lives were lost due to the atomic bombing here, as well as to pray for the realization of everlasting peace. We are deeply grateful for the fact that you dispatched as your representative to last year's Ceremony Mr. Nobuyasu Abe, then UN Under-Secretary-General for Disarmament Affairs. Last year at both the NPT Review Conference and the High-Level Plenary Meeting of the 60th United Nations General Assembly, negotiations for nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament were held between many countries. However, as before the fear of nuclear proliferation grows daily, and humanity finds itself in an increasingly serious crisis created by weapons of mass destruction. In this situation, we believe that the mission of Hiroshima is to appeal across the globe for the abolition of nuclear weapons and the realization of everlasting world peace. For these reasons, we would be honored were you to deliver an address and offer a wreath of flowers at this year's Peace Memorial Ceremony, and believe that these actions would serve as an important symbol of the appeal for eternal world peace and have a major impact on the international community. Each of Hiroshima's approximately 1.15 million citizens would be honored to have you join us at this year's ceremony. Furthermore, your attendance would lift the spirits of the many atomic bomb survivors and families of the deceased.

Simply looked at in terms of 'raw' statistics, the Committee's work in the course of the 6th legislature has been pretty impressive by any standards: in addition to our regular committee meetings held at least twice-monthly, we have held 72 extraordinary meetings to respond to crisis situations and issues, and prepared, debated and adopted a total of 259 reports, opinions and resolutions which were then voted on in plenary. The Committee was addressed a total of 397 times by visiting speakers from outside the EU and from within, including 176 exchanges with the Commission and the Council, notably with the High Representative for CFSP, Javier Solana (10 times), Commissioners Rehn (17 times) and Ferrero-Waldner (15 times), and all 20 EU Special Representatives over the 5-year period. Regular briefings by the Council Presidency-in-office post-GAERC or on Presidency priorities (63), as well as preparatory visits by AFET's Enlarged Bureau to the Member State holding the forthcoming Presidency (8), meetings of the Conference of Foreign Affairs Committee Chairmen (COFACC) held in the Presidency country (9), and regular bilateral meetings in Brussels between AFET and representatives of the foreign affairs and defence committees of national parliaments (6), have strengthened the Committee's contacts and involvement with each Presidency and fostered its involvement in CFSP issues.

CARTA POR UM MUNDO SEM VIOLÊNCIA A violência é uma doença passível de prevenção. Nenhum estado ou indivíduo pode estar seguro em meio a um mundo sem segurança.

  • Lives in the Peace Movement
    LIVES IN THE PEACE MOVEMENT John Scales Avery June 15, 2019 INTRODUCTION1 Human emotions: an evolutionary paradox? Today, human greed and folly are destroying the global environment. As if this were not enough, there is a great threat to civilization and the biosphere from an all-destroying thermonuclear war. Both of these severe existential threats are due to faults our inherited emotional nature. From the standpoint of evolutionary theory, this is a paradox. As a species, we are well on the road to committing collective suicide, driven by the flaws in human nature. But isn’t natural selection supposed to produce traits that lead to survival? Today, our emotions are not leading us towards survival, but instead driving us towards extinction. What is the reason for this paradox? Can biological science throw any light on the problem of why our suppos- edly rational species seems intent on choosing war, pain and death instead of peace, happiness and life? To answer this question, we need to turn to the science of ethology - the study of inherited emotional tendencies and behavior patterns in animals and humans. Ethology In The Origin of Species, Charles Darwin devoted a chapter to the evolution of instincts, and he later published a separate book on The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals. Because of these pioneering studies, Darwin is considered to be the founder of ethology. The study of inherited behavior patterns in animals (and humans) was continued in the 20th century by such researchers as Karl von Frisch (1886- 1982), Nikolaas Tinbergen (1907-1988), and Konrad Lorenz (1903-1989), three scientists who shared a Nobel Prize in Medicine and Physiology in 1973.
