The Center for Global Nonkilling now engages 700
scholars in 300 universities and institutes in 73
countries in 19 nonkilling research committees.
Recent publications include "Nonkilling Security
and the State" and forthcoming are "Nonkilling
Media", "Nonkilling Education" and "Nonkilling
Spiritual Traditions". All publications are
available for purchase or free PDF download from
our
website.
Next month we will be participating in the 6th
Milestones in a Global Campaign for Violence
Prevention Meeting, organized by the World Health
Organization's Violence Prevention Alliance, of
which the Center is an associate. Mexico's
governmental service for the prevention of
violence will be distributing 1,000 copies of
their Spanish edition of "Nonkilling Global
Political Science" during the event.
For next year, we are looking into developing with
each of the 19 Research Committees a pilot
University Syllabi for teaching nonkilling from
each disciplinary approach (i.e., Nonkilling
Anthropology, Nonkilling Education, etc.). We
intend to make this a joint project of the
committed members from each of the Research
Committees, aiming at offering a free online
resource for all.

Promoting Communication Literacy through Principles of Compassion for a Nonviolent Planet
by Vedabhyas Kundu
At a time when there are conflicts at different level around the world, promoting COMMUNICATION LITERACY through principles of compassion is a necessity so as to bring people together and collectively work for global peace.
Compassion and feelings for others are essential ingredients for human unity. Swami Vivekananda had said, “Do you feel for others? If you do, you are growing in oneness. If you do not feel for others, you may be the most intellectual giant ever born, but you will be nothing; you are but dry intellect, and you will remain so.”
Indeed in today’s contemporary society when there are so much of differences and intolerance, if we can’t promote feeling and compassion for others, we cannot promote oneness amongst one another. There seems to be crisis of values and little respect for each other’s ideas and perspective. For a large number of people, the self seems to be the supreme and are agnostic about the feelings of others. Anger and hatred towards each other seems to be found in abundance. All these will lead to greater conflicts and ill feelings amongst fellow beings. Swami Vivekananda pertinently underlines that howsoever one may acquire intellectual power, without compassion for others, one is nothing. . ... continuation.
