In a short video clip, Eugen Brand, Director general, makes three suggestions to the international community :

  • To ask the Nobel Peace Pize Committee to examine ways in which to honour the courage of those who seek to build peace while living in conditions of extreme poverty;
  • To include in national constitutions the text of the Stone on the Human Rights Plaza in Paris, France: "Wherever men and women are condemned to live in extreme poverty, human rights are violated. To come together to ensure that these rights be respected is our solemn duty."
  • To determine some "Guiding principles for a culture of peace" rooted in overcoming extreme poverty.

To come together to ensure that these rights be respected is our solemn duty.
