The Manifesto 2000 was signed by 75 million people during the International Year for the Culture of Peace (2000), who promised to promote a culture of peace in their daily lives. Specifically, they promised to:
Respect the life and dignity of each human being without discrimination or prejudice;
Practise active non-violence, rejecting violence in all its forms: physical, sexual, psychological, economical and social, in particular towards the most deprived and vulnerable such as children and adolescents;
Share my time and material resources in a spirit of generosity to put an end to exclusion, injustice and political and economic oppression;
Defend freedom of expression and cultural diversity, giving preference always to dialogue and listening without engaging in fanaticism, defamation and the rejection of others;
Promote consumer behaviour that is responsible and development practices that respect all forms of life and preserve the balance of nature on the planet;
Contribute to the development of my community, with the full participation of women and respect for democratic principles, in order to create together new forms of solidarity;
It would appear that the Manifesto is now considered to be very relevant to the situation in Mexico. At the same time as the Manifesto was signed in the Michoacan state of Mexico, it was also presented in the Mexican state of Zacatecas.
