Ceasefire

"Together we can decrease the level of violence, raise awareness of our activities and save lives around the world. The impact of a day of global ceasefire and non-violence cannot be underestimated." ~ Jeremy Gilley

"Our approach is very simple we have nothing to negotiate ... We have the Minsk format and we need immediately just a ceasefire and the withdrawal of heavy artillery and weapons and tanks from the touchline, the solution is very simple - stop supplying weapons ... withdraw the troops and close the border. Very simple peace plan. If you want to discuss something different, it means you are not for peace, you are for war." ~ Petro Poroshenko

A ceasefire and diplomatic talks are the best steps toward peace in conflicts involving Russia, Ukraine, Israel, and the Middle East.

War destroys communities, deepens mistrust, and makes it harder for people to work together in the future.

During any ceasefire, diplomacy is challenging, but it offers a peaceful way to settle disagreements, rebuild trust, and create lasting peace.

Diplomacy is meant to help people.

War causes not only soldiers to die but also primarily results in civilian deaths, physical dismemberment, lifelong mental trauma, and forces millions to leave their homes.

A ceasefire will reduce suffering.

Diplomacy helps rebuild economies. War destroys businesses, homes, and jobs, leaving regions unstable.

After peace talks, these countries can focus on rebuilding and improving life for their citizens.

As we can see in the two regions of conflict, they could easily boil over into regional wars and possibly a world war. These wars are affecting other countries throughout the world. Diplomacy helps reduce the broadening of wars and encourages cooperation. Diplomacy is the only way to address their root causes. As we can see, military action often leaves issues unresolved, but negotiations can address the underlying causes of conflict and help create solutions.

Future peace agreements take effort and compromise.

History shows that communication is the best way to stop wars and build a better future.
