World Peace Day
On World Peace Day, we remember the Academics for Peace, who, 10 years ago, sent a clear message against war and in favour of peace, dialogue and academic responsibility through their appeal. Their courage and commitment remain as relevant today as ever. Peace needs people who have the courage to speak out.
