J.J. Fong: On Unificationism - Interfaith Youth Forum in New York

Tuesday, December 02, 2008
Written by: Justin J. Fong

L. Ladouce: Towards Global Development

Saturday, November 22, 2008
Written by: Laurent Ladouce, UPF-France

The United Nations, having the goal of world peace, made development a priority and created the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in 1965. The UNDP conducted development programs and research worldwide for several decades; its expertise commands respect and humility. Yet, the UNDP itself often revised drastically its own approach to development; its own literature contains much self-criticism. It will surely continue to do so. The Universal Peace Federation offers constructive insights in this ongoing debate.

N. Gulliford: Ways Municipal Councils Can Promote Marriage

Saturday, November 22, 2008
Written by: Nick Gulliford, FOCCUS Scoring Centre, UK

Municipal Councils run marriage registry offices but don't make the best use of this responsibility. Those interested in this subject may like to see what I wrote at Conservative Home Platform under the theme, "The Government could be doing much more to encourage strong relationships." The excellent news since then has been the announcement during her speech to the Conservative Party Conference on 30th September by Maria Miller MP, Shadow Minister for the Family.

R. Haines: On Unificationism - Interfaith Youth Forum in London

Saturday, November 22, 2008
Written by: Robert Haines
>Harmony, peace and happiness within the family begin with a relationship to the Creator, one of children to parent. Thus, the solution to world peace is to rebind the relationship between the Creator and each family.

I. Odinga: Touching the Hearts of People in Kenya

Saturday, November 22, 2008
Written by: Mrs. Ida Odinga, Chief Executive Officer, Spectra East Africa; Wife of Prime Minister Raila Odinga

Today if you go to the Nairobi River, you don’t even want to touch the water, never mind the fish. The fish are not there. Therefore, the Universal Peace Federation project mobilizing young people to clean the Nairobi River was fantastic. It was a very good idea because young people own the activity. They know the future belongs to the young people, and they know that unless they do something now to clean the river and make sure it remains clean, they have no future. Therefore, this was a very important thing in the lives of young people and the life of Kenya as a whole.
