The International Network for Peace


The International Network for Peace is a project that grew out of Peaceful Tomorrows’ groundbreaking international conference “Civilian Casualties, Civilian Solutions,” which took place on September 11, 2006, the five-year anniversary of 9/11. The seeds planted at that conference have grown into a truly international network of organizations from 17 different countries, formed by survivors of political violence to promote justice, reconciliation and genuine peace.

In the weeks following, September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows brought conference participants to speak at several public events at American universities. The response was overwhelming. Educators and students of international affairs were extremely grateful to learn about the successful models of non-violent conflict resolution that are occurring all over the world.

Peaceful Tomorrows  continues in  its commitment to help the International Network to grow, with programs that bring the successful work of INP member organizations to wider American and international audiences. We encourage you to view the International Network for Peace website.

Below are some of the reports and papers that came out of the conference and subsequent speaking tour.


Hiroshima, Nagasaki, 9/11, and America's failure in Iraq and Afghanistan
by Bruce Wallace, , 121Contact
We attended the Wisdom of the Survivor conference today at Pace University in New York City. It was a shared activity. Over 100 Hibakusha (survivors of the bombs the U.S. dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki) are here to once again lobby the U.N. to finally ban all atomic weapons...to make it illegal to possess them! What a simple idea. How graceful in the face of almost unimaginable horrors...

Israeli Yaniv Rashef was a foot soldier in a sabotage unit of the Israeli Army – and chose to fight no more. Palestinian Bassam Aramin served seven years in jail for planning an attack against Israeli soldiers – and chose no more violence.
