ABSTRACT
For a very large part of the world’s population, poverty and violence remain part of everyday life. According to the latest statistics published by the Working Group on Causes of War of Hamburg University (Arbeitsgemeinschaft Kriegsursachenforschung AKUF), there were 44 interstate wars and armed conflicts in 2006. The United Nations reports that 2.6 billion people must survive on less than US $2 per day (United Nations Development Program, 2008).
