Promoting the Culture of Peace with Love and Conscience
The General Assembly,
Guided by the purposes and principles enshrined in the Charter of the United
Nations,
Recalling the preamble to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 1 in which
it is stated that disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous
acts which have outraged the conscience of humankind, and the advent of a world in
which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear
and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people, and
recalling also article 1 of the Declaration, in which it is stated that all human beings
are born free and equal in dignity and rights and are endowed with reason and
conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood,
Conscious of the need for the creation of conditions of stability and well -being
and peaceful and friendly relations based on respect for human rights and fundamental
freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language or religion,
Reaffirming its resolution 52/13 of 20 November 1997, by which it raised
awareness that the task of the United Nations to save future generations from the
scourge of war requires transformation towards a culture of peace, which consists of
values, attitudes and behaviours that reflect and inspire social interaction and sharing
based on the principles of freedom, justice and democracy, all human rights, tolerance
and solidarity, that reject violence and endeavour to prevent conflicts by tackling their
root causes to solve problems through dialogue and negotiation and that guarantee the
full exercise of all rights and the means to participate fully in the development process
of their society,
