World Congress 2016

Disarm! IPB World Congress 2016

“The world is over – armed and  peace is under-funded.”

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon

  • Bringing together a wide variety of experts, advocates and speakers from around the globe;
  • Including talks, presentations, roundtables, panel discussions, workshops, information booths, exhibitions, cultural activities;
  • High point in the recently-launched Global Campaign on Military Spending;
  • Apart from the Global Day of Action on Military Spending (mid-April), preparatory events will be held in major cities around the world over the coming year.

peace-by-bartis

Speakers  will  come  from  a  wide  range  of  disciplines  and backgrounds,  including  both  the  highest  levels  of  society  and grassroots voices, creative thinkers and cultural figures:

  • Nobel and Alternative Nobel Prize winners;
  • elder statesmen/women;
  • the social sciences, economics and politics in particular;
  • the peace movement and other civil society sectors;
  • parliamentarians,  religious  leaders,  journalists,  community organizers and artists…

military-expenditureIn 2014 the world’s governments spent over $1,700 billion on the military sector. We believe this money must instead be spent on:

  • Climate change mitigation/adaptation, preserving biodiversity;
  • Humanitarian programs to support the most vulnerable;
  • Peace:  disarmament,  conflict  prevention  &  resolution,  human security;
  • Public services / Social  justice,  human  rights,  gender  equality and green job-creation;
  • Sustainable  development,  production  and  consumption patterns, anti-poverty programs, UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

We  strongly  believe  the  absolutely  necessary  ‘great transformation’  of  global  human  society  can  only  be  achieved when also reallocating military expenditure and handling conflict differently. After all, we are facing a crisis of civilization, which is more far-reaching than an ecological and economic crisis alone.

We  are  living  on  one  single  Planet  Earth  but  exploiting  its resources as if we had three. We witness how  our predominant economic and developmental model has failed to provide justice, livelihood  and  human  security  for  all.  We  now  also  face  the resurgence of militarism and confrontational politics.

Hence, we view this priority shift in government spending as one element in a much broader global transformation towards a green, socially just and peaceful society!

The aim of this congress is to bring the issue of military spending, often seen as a technical question, into broad public debate and to strengthen the global community of activism.

Hence, we aim at wide support that goes far beyond peace organizations, such as from development, environment, faith, human rights, social welfare, women, workers’ and youth organizations.

As at January 2016, our partners include:

It is clear: without overcoming militarism, a socio-ecological transformation with the goal of an equitable international social order will be a failure. Thus, let us join hands to create an action agenda in Berlin to roll back militarism in favor of a real transformation, to create together a climate of peace!

International Peace Bureau

The oldest global peace network, founded in 1891/92;
Nobel Peace Laureate 1910; over the years, 13 of our officers have been recipients of the Nobel Peace Prize;
Consultative Status with the UN’s Economic and Social Council since 1977;
More than 300 member organizations in over 70 countries;
Our vision: a world without war!

Our current main program centers on Sustainable Disarmament for Sustainable Development. We believe that by reducing funding for the military sector, significant amounts of money could be released for social projects, leading to the fulfilment of
real human needs and the protection of the environment.

Main highlights in this are the Global Campaign on Military Spending (GCOMS) and the Global Day of Action (GDAMS).

With our network of member organizations and individual members, we form a global community, bringing together knowledge and experience, experts and advocates in a common cause.
