MORE than 40 people with wide-ranging expertise will pool their knowledge and ideas and propose an action plan for peace at a two-day conference this weekend at Auckland University of Technology.
As Peace Foundation president Dr John Hinchcliff says in the above video interview with Pacific Media Watch’s Alistar Kata: “The world is facing grim future in many directions, in not just nuclear weapons.”
The idea is for people share their knowledge as the basis for understanding the global threats and developing realistic action that might make a difference.
According to the World Without War action website, participants include “senior academics from AUT, the University of Auckland and Waikato University, experts against violence and war from Sweden and New Zealand, critics concerned about high tech weaponry, leaders representing our youth, the United Nations, Māoridom, education and religions.”
If only,
I am seeing a dark future as living 71yrs in relative peace I see nothing but war ahead.
Yes I did my six years in the NZ Army during the 1960’s and luckily the Vietnam war was never requiring me to participate, but today it would be different, as the “captains of Industry” & Government are hell bent on promoting wars now, – as they see it is good for business.
Just let them send their son’s and daughters to war and we would then see real peace again.
200 of the world’s largest weapons manufacturers are coming to Wellington New Zealand and meeting in the TSB Arena on Tuesday 17 November 2015 to plot how to further sales and make more money and mayhem.

Yes they meet in NZ right under our noses. Kiwis are too dumb to notice??
Besides NZ has a compliant Govt who support their unelected masters and join in any wars at the behest of US or UK.
All going well, John, I hope to cover the event and do a story on it for the Daily Blog.
Maybe Yankee Doodle Key wants to set up a weapons manufacturing plant here in NZ to boost employment, could organise some subsidies for US manufacturers.
