Abstract
In my remarks today, I should like to speak to three issues: 1) trace briefly the transition from the Seville Statement on Violence to the United Nations initiatives for a culture of peace. 2) look at each of the 8 action areas for a culture of peace and consider them as research challenges; and 3) take a quick look at the development of the global movement for a culture of peace and consider that, also, as a research challenge.
