Uniting for Peace is an international NGO devoted to creating and promoting a global culture of peace through advocacy and educating general public about disarmament, demiliratisation, democracy and sustainable development.The organisation is the amalgamation of Action for UN Renewal and World Disarmament Campaign (WDC - 1979) which had been actively involved in the peace movement for decades.Uniting for Peace was established in April 2011 to promote Peace, Security and Disarmament, United Nations Human Rights, International Law, Development and Poverty Reduction. Its approach to solving global threats and challenges is a holistic one. We advocate that hard and soft challenges facing the world today have to be dealt with the same urgency. It will be futile to be only spending most of our resources and time to fight terrorism and the proliferation of nuclear weapons and Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD), if 30,000 children per day are dying of poverty and malnourishment whilst 7,000 people die daily of HIV aids.
