Download or read book Let there be Peace! - True stories from Peace Activists written by Mark O'Doherty. This book was released on 2012-09. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book that defies categorisation. Let there be Peace is more than a collection of stories about workcamps and volunteering although the reader gets an intimate view into the experiences of anyone who forgoes the nine-to-five predictability of the West for what some call the 'developing' world. They also take the reader into unexpected places: the Middle East or apartheid-era South Africa. Furthermore, simple stories are augmented by letters and emails that chart the progress of the newcomer along with highly personalised musings by the author on the wider context of peace activism and volunteering. Let there be Peace is a book like no other. Tom Farrel, Freelance Journalist from Ireland

Book excerpt: One Peace celebrates the "Power of One," and specifically the accomplishments of children from around the globe who have worked to promote world peace. Janet Wilson challenges today's children to strive to make a difference in this beautifully illustrated, fact-filled and fascinating volume of portraits of many "heroes for today." Canadian Craig Kielburger, who started Free the Children to help victims of child labor at the age of twelve, has been nominated three times for the Nobel Peace Prize. Farlis Calle, forced to identify the body of a young friend—a victim of her country's civil war—started the Columbia Children's Movement for Peace. At age ten, Kimmie Weeks, a refugee from the Liberian civil war, came within a whisper of being buried in a mass grave. Almost miraculously he survived and vowed to make a difference in the lives of other children. At thirteen he established Voices of the Future, Liberia's first child rights advocacy group. Other portraits feature the accomplishments of children from Sarajevo, Japan, the United Kingdom, Cambodia, Afghanistan and the United States. These moving testaments to the courage and initiative of youth will inspire readers young and old.

Book Synopsis Let there be Peace - Ascension to Ivisimara by : Mark O'Doherty

Download or read book Let there be Peace - Ascension to Ivisimara written by Mark O'Doherty. This book was released on 2012-09-05. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It becomes increasingly important that peace and harmony are finally manifested in Israel-Palestine; and that the Gaza blockade is finally lifted. So it is very important that the future governance of the Bennett-Lapid government is fair and just; and that policies implemented are free from systemic injustices, so that equal rights and legal equality can be manifested in the land. Jerusalem's status is one of the thorniest issues of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with the international community insisting it must be negotiated by the two sides. Israel views the whole city as its capital while the Palestinians want East Jerusalem to be the capital of their own state - both sides being locked in stalemate, and a two-state solution having no prospect of success. So the sooner everybody realizes that a bi-national state is the better option, the better for everybody - with citizenship and equal rights in the combined entity for all inhabitants of all territories, without regard to ethnicity or religion. This would combine Israel and the Palestinian territories into a single state with one government, so that business and commerce between all ethnic groups can take place freely and unhindered; the current barriers and Israeli checkpoints being a huge obstacle to this. Hence in the spirit of freedom of movement - for both Palestinian and Israeli people - a one-state solution would be the better option. This would also be in line with former President Reuven Rivlin's policy of a one-state solution, who argues for a unified country that would embrace all people and give the Palestinians of the West Bank and Gaza full citizenship - so that peace, prosperity and democracy can be manifested in the land. Hence there is now a great window of opportunity for a bi-national state - which the Bennett-Lapid government ought to utilize - so that Israel can remain a respected member in the International Community, and that Israel if finally freed from systemic injustices. Also, it is imperative that the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) is protected in Israel-Palestine, and that Israeli officials stop committing apartheid - so that equal rights and legal equality can be manifested in Israel-Palestine. To manifest peace and democracy in the land, it is imperative that the Gaza blockade is finally lifted and that all parties concerned start working towards a just and fair Middle East peace plan - so that goodness and decency can prevail in the land.

Download or read book Map for Realization of Peace between Palestine and Israel - An evidence based qualitative research study, including articles by various authors on the Arab/Israeli conflict written by Dr. Mark O'Doherty. This book was released on 2014-02. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains an evidence based qualitative research study, as well as articles by various authors on the Arab/Israeli conflict. As a result of this research, criteria for a 'Map for Peace' from the perspective of Israeli and Palestinian people was derived. One of the findings of the study is, that there is uncertainty _ and even some confusion _ regarding what social-interaction-roles Israelis and Palestinians would like to have when communicating with each other. These and other factors make it difficult for Israeli and Palestinian people to find common ground, and to break the cycle of violence. According to this evidence based study, Peace Building in the form of psycho-social counseling, problem-solving workshops, community work and pedagogic counseling for young persons and adults is necessary, to manifest the elusive win-win situation in this region.

Download or read book A Farewell to Nations Ð Future Public Peace Policies for a Global Community of Equity and Equality written by Dr. Mark O'Doherty. This book was released on 2014-05-05. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book advocates a global community of equity and equality; where politicians do not act in the interest of individual nations, but instead jointly work towards a global union of solidarity. This book also explores to what extent the Universal Declaration of Human Rights covers the full ethical spectrum of our global community, and how human rights _ especially children s rights _ can be enforced more effectively in our global community. Finding the elusive synergy between capitalism and socialism is another topic this volume explores, as over 20% of the global population live in extreme poverty and have no basic income; hence the massive forced migration by people in developing countries, leading to the 'brain drain' and many other global social-political calamities. Mark O Doherty comes to the conclusion, that to overcome these global challenges, a Declaration of Global Solidarity is required; as an ethical, legal and social-economic guideline for our global community.
