The round table is within the context of the UNESCO Program of
Action for a Culture of Peace and Non-violence and the
International Decade for Rapprochement of Cultures (2013-2022)
for which UNESCO is responsible in the UN system.
It will open a debate on how to put into action the right of peoples
to peace, echoing the theme chosen this year by the United Nations
for the International Day of Peace. Accent will be put on the role
and actions of the civil society to build the base for a universal
peace.
The round table will be followed by projection of the film, "Words of
the Marionnettes" by Claude Yvans.
