The 2012 Laureates define essential conditions for global peace and security
This year's group of four Laureates highlights the essential conditions for global peace and security: effective nonviolent resistance, a recognition that the arms industry is part of the problem, human and women's rights, and the preservation of our precious ecological resources.
The Jury recognized GENE SHARP (USA) "for developing and articulating the core principles and strategies of nonviolent resistance and supporting their practical implementation in conflict areas around the world". The Peace Resource Center of San Diego and Progressive North County recently showed the film "How to Start a Revolution," which outlines Sharp's contribution to helping peoples' movements around the world. http://www.rightlivelihood.org/
