This document provides an overview of Rotary International's efforts to promote peace since its founding in the early 20th century. It discusses how Rotary has supported peace conferences and incorporated peacemaking into its mission since World War I. In 2002, Rotary launched its Rotary Peace Centers program to train peacemakers through master's degrees and certificate programs at partner universities. The goal is to create world peace by advancing research, strengthening leaders, and promoting worldwide tolerance through the network of Rotary Peace Fellows. The document outlines the application process and profiles of selected fellows to showcase how Rotary is working to build a more peaceful world.
This document discusses an organization called Peace Solutions and their vision of creating a more peaceful world through service, integrity, understanding, and goodwill. As an example, they built a water line for a school in Myanmar so children did not have to carry water long distances. The document focuses on showing that the world is actually safer and more peaceful now than in the past, despite negative media coverage. It provides statistics showing declining violence and mortality over time. It also describes a project called the Great Green Wall, which plants trees across Africa to address climate change while also building cooperation between communities and nations.
Rotary has a long history of promoting peace since 1914 when its members first called for an international peace conference. Since then, Rotary has incorporated peacemaking into its mission and supported numerous initiatives to establish peace, including helping found the UN in 1945. Today, Rotary maintains close relationships with UN agencies and hosts an annual Rotary UN Day. It also funds Peace Centers and Fellowships for graduate studies in peace and conflict resolution. Rotary members are encouraged to get involved in local peace committees and projects to facilitate conflict resolution in their communities and globally.

Rotary International Convention New Orleans
Workshop: Peace and Conflict Resolution and Prevention through Intercountry Committees
Presentation by Tony Polsterer, ICC Executive Committee Chairman
Richard Pyritz initiated the youth Parliament 5 years ago between Germany and Poland, now including 8 European countries in the Triangle of Weimar region.

This document discusses the Rotary Four-Way Test and how its principles of truth, fairness, goodwill/friendships, and benefit to all can be applied to business practices to promote social justice. It advocates considering stakeholders and building strong relationships with customers, employees, owners/investors, suppliers, communities, and others. Businesses that implement the Four-Way Test can create shared value, identify and mitigate adverse impacts, and manage both financial and intangible capital accounts like reputation and social capital to enhance corporate value and reduce risk over the long term.

2. “The way to war is a
well-paved highway,
and the way to peace is
still a wilderness.”
Paul Harris
Founder of Rotary
3. In 1914, at the onset of World War
I, delegates to Rotary’s international
convention in Houston adopted a
resolution that called for the convening of
an international peace conference and
urged all Rotarians to support worthy
efforts such as the international peace
movement.
4. At the 1921 convention
in
Edinburgh, Scotland, Rot
arians unanimously
agreed to incorporate
peacemaking into
Rotary’s constitution
and bylaws.
In 1922, RI ratified the Fourth Object of Rotary:
...―The advancement of international
understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world
fellowship of business and professional persons united in the
ideal of service.‖
5. At the 1940 convention in Havana, Cuba,
Rotarians adopted a
resolution calling for
―freedom, justice, truth, sanc
tity of the pledged word, and
respect for human rights‖
that became the framework
for the UN’s Universal
Declaration
of Human Rights.
6. In 1942, British Rotarians
convened a conference to plan
a world at peace. Attended by
ministers of education and
observers from around the
world, and chaired by Past RI
President Sydney W. Pascall,
the conference led to the
establishment of UNESCO in 1946.
7. In 1945,
49 Rotary members
served in 29
delegations to the
United Nations
Charter Conference.
8. Today, Rotary maintains close relationships with
many UN agencies. RI’s representatives to the UN in
New York host an annual Rotary Day at the United
Nations to celebrate this partnership for peace.
9. Under Future Vision, RI and TRF have
adopted our Six Areas of Focus
Peace and conflict prevention/resolution
Disease prevention and treatment
Water and sanitation
Maternal and child health
Basic education and literacy
Economic and community development
Notice how #2-6 lead to #1 when taken together.
10. To focus our efforts,
In the 1990’s, Rotary considered the concept of
a Paul Harris University but later decided to
work in partnership with already established
university programs.
In 2002, TRF launched the Rotary Peace Centers
for International Studies so that Rotary could
become more strategic in its approach to
building peace by training a new generation of
peaceMAKERS.
11. Rotary Peace Centers Program Objectives

Advancing research and
study in peace and conflict
resolution

48. Moving past the 20th Century,
a step at a time
There will always be conflicts, but:
Citizens of the world can learn to understand global
problems;
Gain the skills to resolve conflicts constructively;
Know and live by international standards of human
rights, gender and racial equality;
Appreciate cultural diversity and respect the integrity
of the earth.
Such learning cannot be achieved without
intentional, sustained and systematic education
for peace. Our Rotary Peace Centers do this.
49. Rotary World Peace Fellows

Fellows graduated
