ABOUT US

"The setting up of a new non-profit organization called Non-Governmental Peace Strategies Project is a welcome initiative by Gianni Picco. The aim is to enlist private sector support in the peace and development work of the United Nations. As for the United Nations, we realize that our goals cannot be achieved without cooperation with the private sector. One of your priorities will be the creation of a culture of peace.
All too often in today’s world we live in a culture of violence, divided along ethnic, religious and cultural lines. By uniting against a common enemy - intolerance - we can take a stand against the culture of violence and for peace."

KOFI ANNAN
Secretary General
United Nations

"We are working to create this new architecture of security, now in our continents, that will allow us, for the end of this century and, what is more important, for the next century, to maintain hope, the hope for a safer Europe in order to begin the new century with all these ideas, that I try to express to you, during this video-conference and which are so close to the spirit of the Milano Charter."
