ABSTRACT

Peru. High-ranging diplomats and UN officials like Under Secretary General Anwarul K. Chowdhury and Michael Cassandra from the UN Department of Disarmament Affairs were present. Another important point was the visit of the site of the Peace and Disarmament Education UN DDA/HAP project. Following a successful ‘Weapons in Exchange for Development’ UN project, the DDA and HAP Peace and Disarmament Education project has worked in partnership with the local community of Gramsh in 2002 and 2003. (Gramsh is a city created 50 years ago to produce guns and ammunitions in its armaments factory.) The meeting concluded with the Tirana Call for Peace Education, probably, the most explicit statement of the Campaign for the integration of peace education into the school systems.16
