Peace Boat is participating in the World
Social Forum, including holding workshops on Article 9 of Japan's Peace Constitution.
We invite those attending the Forum to participate in the following events, and
join the global campaign to abolish war and promote Article 9:
Session 1:
Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution: Common Treasure of Humankind for Peace
Date and Time: Monday, January 22 - 14:30-17:00
Venue: 17 IN / Upper Gate 17
(*English only)
Session 2:
The Global Article 9 Campaign to Abolish War
Date and Time: Wednesday, January 24 - 11:30 - 14:00
Venue: 17 IN / Lower Gate 17
(*Translation Available)
Since the start of the 21st Century, the world has been engulfed in a cycle of
war and violence. The war in Iraq has made it manifestly clear that peace cannot
be imposed by force. Non-violent alternatives to resolve disputes are needed more
desperately than ever.
The present times show us a scenario where diplomatic relations are getting more
and more tense, leading to an increasing arms race which is threatening and destroying
the environment and with it, human life.
Today, peace mechanisms are not only needed but indispensable. Join us for our
two-lecture series on Article 9 and its significance as a tool to create peace
and prevent international conflict.
