Can we make the London Olympics a time of global peace – and use those 16 days of peace to celebrate the best of human nature and culture?
Reviving the original olympic spirit of truce and free passage between warring nations, a modern manual for implementing such a peace was written for the 2004 Olympics in Greece, and can now be a common planning tool to make it work for London 2012. The plan shows how 16 days of global peace can move us ‘from a culture of violence to a culture of peace’, if we take multi-stakeholder actions to coordinate the Olympic effort in this direction. The following simple and transparent steps are necsaary:
Step 1 is that either one of the tourism/sports/ culture/health ministries sign a declaration inviting to the other three ministers to sign a joint declaration (step 2) asking their foreign affairs and defence ministers to sign a national declaration (step 3) stating they will organise the implementation of a 16 day truce on their part at the time of the 2012 Olympics.
Alongside halting aggression in the 40 plus UN designated conflict zones, the bigger peace is the peace in our cities, in our communities, between friends and family and finally, peace within ourselves. It should be clear that during the Olympics a true global peace is within our reach, at that time. We now have the best ever opportunity to do this in the auspicious year 2012. Fragile – only 16 days long...but possible. What positive part can you play in making this happen?
