Berlin:
Silo, the founder of Universalist Humanism and the inspiration
behind the World March for Peace and Nonviolence, today addressed
the 10th Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates, which was held in Berlin
in commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the fall of the wall.
Silo‘s talk, “The Meaning of Peace and
Nonviolence in the Present Moment,” spoke to the possibility of
constructing a Universal Human Nation founded upon a culture of
active nonviolence.
He was introduced by Mairead Corrigan
Maguire, who received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1976 for her
mediation work between Protestants and Catholics in Northern
Ireland.
Silo described the present situation
in the world as “extremely complex,” characterized by a growing
nuclear threat, a resurgent arms race, widespread poverty and the
clash of cultures, and a crisis of the international financial
system.
In his view, these are not isolated
crises, however, “but rather a picture that reveals the global
failure of a system whose method of action is violence and whose
central value is money.”
In particular, Silo denounced the
irresponsible interests of the world’s nuclear powers and the
madness of violent groups with possible access to nuclear weapons,
which have put the entire planet at risk of an accident or
confrontation of disastrous proportions.
The way out of this crisis, he
insisted, is to create global awareness of peace and disarmament.
“But it is also necessary,” he went on, “to awaken a consciousness
of Active Nonviolence that allows us to reject not only physical
violence, but all forms of economic, racial, psychological, and
gender violence.”
Here he cited the importance of
exemplary social actions that permit broad participation,
illustrated by the World March for Peace and Nonviolence, an
unprecedented social mobilization that was initiated on October 2nd
and is involving one million people in 100 countries on 6
continents.
“For the first time in history an
event of this magnitude has been put in motion by the participants
themselves,” Silo said. “The true strength of this impulse is born
in the simple act of one who, out of conscience, joins a dignified
cause and shares it with others.”
"A march is crossing the world. The
March for Peace and Nonviolence. It is as the founder of
Universalist Humanism and the inspiration behind the World March
that I would like to speak briefly to the forum. The March has
galvanized numerous initiatives and activities, such as the symbolic
journey of a team of enthusiasts who, having begun on October 2nd in
Wellington, New Zealand, are traveling for three months through a
number of countries until the conclusion on January 2nd, 2010 at the
foot of Mount Aconcagua in Punta de Vacas, midway between Argentina
and Chile", he said.
"The March was launched at the
Symposium of the World Center of Humanist Studies, at the Park of
Study and Reflection in Punta de Vacas on the 15th of November 2008,
one year ago, with the clear intention of creating awareness of the
dangerous global situation in which we are living, which is marked
by, an increased probability of nuclear conflict, by the arms race,
and by violent territorial military occupations", he added.
Silo was joined on the stage by Rafael
de la Rubia, spokesperson for the World March, and together they
were presented with the Summit’s own “Charter for a World Without
Violence” by Corrigan Maguire. Silo promised, in the name of the
Humanist Movement and its affiliated organizations, to be emissaries
for the Charter and to disseminate it widely through the World
March, urging world leaders to adhere to its proposals of
nonviolence.
