Peace-Building in a post-COVID-19 World

Start: Saturday, June 26, 202110:30 AM

End: Saturday, June 26, 2021 5:00 PM

As the government restrictions will be lifted in late June, Uniting for Peace is pleased to invite you to the Spring Conference 2021 on "Peace-Building in a post-COVID-19 World" on Saturday, 26th June, 2021.

While the countries of the world are grappling and overcoming the deadly Coronavirus, some countries like USA and UK are supplying arms and continuing warfare in Yemen, Syria, Iraq and Libya inflicting horrific deaths, starvation and disease. Moreover, the world is engulfed from one crisis to the other – climate change to refugee displacement, inequality to racism and populism to violation of human rights and civil liberties, just to mention a few. To mitigate the chaos, Uniting for Peace is organising an event in which distinguished speakers will explore how campaigning organisations can work together to change policies leading the way for building a peaceful world.
