About [Edit]
The Center for Global Nonkilling Mission Statement was derived from the November 2007 Global Nonkilling Leadership Forum: "To promote change toward the measurable goal of a killing-free world". The means to achieve this mission include: Discovering and encouraging global nonkilling human capabilities; Introducing nonkilling knowledge in global education and policy; Applying nonkilling knowledge in global problem-solving; Developing and assisting nonkilling global leadership; Assisting institutions/centers for global nonkilling; Measuring, monitoring, and disseminating the impact of nonkilling global efforts.
The project to develop the Center for Global Nonkilling for discovery and advancement of nonkilling human capabilities is akin to the 15th century voyages of discovery and the 20th century project to place a man on the moon. In each case the formerly impossible, and even unthinkable, was transformed into reality by a combination of faith and commitment, assemblage of available knowledge and skills, creation of new knowledge, invention of new technologies, training, and institutional development—all made possible by providers of moral and material support with vision and courage to share the failures and successes of discovery.
Small, creative, and catalytic in partnership with individuals and institutions locally and worldwide—by combining and sharing the spirit, science, skills, arts, institutions and resources of all—the Center for Global Nonkilling can contribute to new and renewed leadership for change towards a just, killing-free world in which everyone has the right not to be killed and the responsibility not to kill others.
