International Day of Peace🙏🕊️❤️ "Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the sons of God." Deception and untruths have nothing to do with the principles of GOD. We cannot say one thing and do something totally different. We need collaboration with respect, morals, justice and truth - from everyone!

When we talk about peacebuilding, it is important to contextualize peace. Conflicts must be understood through the lens of culture, politics, and history—factors that explain why they emerge and how they can be resolved. Equally, peace efforts must take into account a gender perspective. Both men and women experience conflict differently, yet responses often assume men are the only combatants. This leads to unequal access to relief items, rehabilitation, and reintegration programs, overlooking female ex-combatants who also carry deep scars of war. Another challenge lies in the way external actors impose their own interests during reconstruction. When donor support is tied to conditions that do not reflect local priorities, it risks alienating communities and can even reignite conflict. Similarly, a “one-size-fits-all” model of peace rarely works. Peace strategies must align with local governance systems, traditions, and needs rather than importing Western approaches wholesale. Finally, to sustain peace, societies must invest in peace education—teaching children and young people from the earliest stages about the value of coexistence, dialogue, and non-violence.

Today is also a pertinent moment to reflect on the failures & shortcomings of the UN in it's inaction to stop genocides worldwide both past and present and limited success in resolving ongoing conflicts among nation states...do better.

The bad guys

These numbers are heartbreaking, but also a reminder of why peacebuilding matters. At Elevate Côte d'Ivoire, we believe that prevention starts with empowerment, creating jobs, education, and opportunities that break cycles of poverty and conflict. 

Act Now for Peace... Prevention through strengthening systems and structures for early warning and response, conflict transformation and building resilient communities with capacity to manage conflict non-violently.... and supporting communities to heal from past trauma and scars of violent conflict and wars.. multi-level investment in these must continue and be sustained.

The cost of war is counted not just in trillions of dollars, but in shattered lives and stolen futures. Investing in peace and prevention is the only way to safeguard humanity’s progress.

You know the problems,you know the global warmth to bring in the society so please proceed.

www.iucm.net Today we invest nearly $3 trillion in the development of fragile and crisis-affected settings and destruction globally. Therefore we call the international community of states, the global civil society together with the private, national and public economy and the authorities and all sciences alike as collective responsible community to invest in the prevention, in basics needs but not in the Military Industrial Complex MIC - to support peace and to protect over decades and centuries hard-won gains in fact. This is action for peace and sustainable development and success as well for all on even terms. It demands multiple innovative concepts and strategies. We need to stop the literally global slavery through investments of the MIC and the trafficking of arms as driving forces of the violence and destruction globally. How we protect people and environment around the world effectively and sustainable? Let’s learn together how we will become able to build future for everyone on even terms globally: https://www.iucm.net * * *
