CICR is a partner organization in this initiative to establish a Minister for Peace for Canada to lead the implementation of a culture of peace.
Given the escalation of violent conflict, the increased threat of nuclear annihilation and the increased lawlessness across our world today, there has never been greater urgency or a better window of opportunity to seed this intent in Canada. The department would develop a coordinated and coherent paradigm for a sustainable peace across all government departments. The Minister would advance an agenda for a new architecture of peace by supporting and establishing activities that promote a culture of peace and assertive non-violence in Canada and the world.
