Welcome to the
Society of Founders of the
International Peace University
(IPU) !
"The basic concept of the
Peace University, which seeks to place the sciences and art at the service of peace, is optimal for today's needs.
My only reservation is that we must be continually aware that peace is not a passive condition, but rather an
endless struggle. It demands that protagonists show courage and strength, patience and forbearance, in the face of enemies
who generate hostility and conspire to splinter our groups and provoke internal discord.
In other words, those who seek to teach the encouragement and preservation of peace, must be at least twice as
courageous as each of the opposing camps, because they have to deal with each of the parties."
Lord Yehudi Menuhin, former Sponsor of the IPU-Project
