The concept of an International Peace Treaty in past century has a long, arduous history.

​

In 1899 and 1907 the International Hague Conferences in the Netherlands were held to attempt agreements on armament reduction.

In 1928 marked the signing of the Kellogg-Briand Pact, international consent to multilateral and bilateral disarmament.

In 1929, artist, philosopher, and philanthropist Nicholas Roerich introduced the concept of a peace treaty to preserve the cultural heritage and historic sites of the world.

In 1935 marked the signing of the Treaty between the United State and Other American Republics. This International Peace Treaty contains in its body The Roerich Pact and illustrates the conditions of cultural preservation. It was signed by 21 countries of the Pan-American Union, and finally gave international recognition that the products of mankind’s existence…Music, art, scientific advances, medicine, literature and the like…form the backbone of the identity of the human race as a whole.

 

Later, when the world was gripped by World War II the flame for peace seemed to be doused until 1954 when concerned international leaders returned to the concept of further developing Roerich’s ideals. At an international convention held in Hague, fifty nations signed in support of the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflicts.

 

TODAY… The time has come to continue this effort on a worldwide scale, and to create an UNCONDITIONAL international accord to guard the cultural assets of the world at all times-in peace, war, or otherwise.

 

The human race has come into the Third Millennium with the capability of global destruction, but also with the capacity for global peace.

 

Under the, guidance of World Wide Philanthropic Group, achieving stability and “Peace through Peace” is the ultimate, long-term goal of this “Third Wave” of the peace movement.
