Young gamers are already playing in virtual invasions of Iran and Iranians are commonly shown as brutal savages. Meanwhile real covert operations are taking place, ordinary Iranians are suffering the consequences of ever more brutal sanctions and politicians talk not so much of whether violence should be used, but rather what kind of violence might be more “useful”: further sanctions, further assassinations, backing local terrorist groups such as MKO and Jundallah, bombing or even full scale invasion.
The assertions of a crisis are vague and often based upon hearsay amplified by political leaders and sensationalist journalism. Unless checked they may become a self-fulfilling prophecy as tensions heat up.
The words Now Ruz, or New Day, perhaps act as a call to reflection and a rethink of our ideas and prejudices (remember the origin of the word is “pre-judgement” - to judge before one knows).

Academic talks

In the name of peace, in opposition to war, the panel joins three dots. Our dots are three of the defining faculties of humanity, language, mathematics and imagery. The panel will argue that human rights are not just something to be upheld, to the point of death for some, but now coming within the domain of science and logic. One key aspect of the scientific advances here will be demonstrated using apparatus, never before seen in public. But advances have been not just made, but lost. That is just part of why our panel is for peace, not war.

'THESE THREE SIMPLE TRUTHS': http://www.ucl.ac.uk/chc/people/klaus-abels" href="http://www.ucl.ac.uk/chc/people/klaus-abels" target="_blank" avglsprocessed="1" style="color:rgb(17, 85, 204)">Dr KLAUS ABELS</span></span></span></b><span size="3" face="Calibri" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> will give a brief glimpse of the amazingly simple system underlying the variation in neutral word order across all human languages. The system appears to be shared by all humans and, like our linguistic faculty more generally, partly characterizes us as humans; <b><span style="text-decoration: underline;">http://www.courtauld.ac.uk/people/stallabrass-julian.shtml" href="http://www.courtauld.ac.uk/people/stallabrass-julian.shtml" target="_blank" avglsprocessed="1" style="color:rgb(17, 85, 204)">Professor JULIAN STALLABRASS</span></span></span></b><span size="3" face="Calibri" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span color="#3333ff" style="color: #3333ff;"> will tell us how modern media allow the 'enemy' to speak back directly to those whose governments wage war; and Professor GEORGE GHEVERGHESE JOSEPH who will help us join the three dots.

 

 

Nowruz No War will show that from ancient times to now, Iran has been part of our intellectual and scientific development.

 

An attack on Iran would be an attack on our history – possibly non-recoverable.

 

Peace

 

What is Peace?

Peace is more than the absence of war; real peace comes from our hearts (Inner peace) and leads to peaceful relations in the family and community and among nations.

Let’s inspire others with non-violence every day….

Let’s be messengers of peace in every interaction.

Atlas of Mustard Gas Injuries

Atlas of Mustard Gas Injuries

under supervison of Prof Kouki Inai     Date : August 2012

This book is an exemplary work of international scientific collaboration for the purpose of humanitarian assistance to war victims and to promote culture of peace which makes it a unique book in its field. It is the result of about 3 years of endeavor and cooperation between Iranian and Japanese researchers and physicians to collect and publish their experiences as a comprehensive study on health impacts of mustard gas, diagnosis and treatment of exposure related illnesses as well as health advice for the survivors and their families; the medical exchange finally led to compilation of the "Atlas of Mustard Gas Injuries" which has been written in three languages (English, Japanese and Persian) and published recently in Japan.

In writing this book, 27 medical doctors (18 Iranians & 9 Japanese) worked together and contributed; the “Atlas” has 22 chapters of which 14 chapters written by Iranians and 8 chapters by Japanese authors.

     Tehran peace museum

     

    Tehran peace Museum is a member of the International Network of Museums for Peace. the main objective of the museum is to promote a culture of peace through raising awareness about the devastating consequences of war with focus on health and environmental impacts of Chemical weapons.

     

    Currently housed in a building donated by the municipality of Tehran within the historic City Park, the Tehran Peace Museum is as much an interactive peace center as a museum.

     

    On June 29, 2007, a memorial for the poison gas victims of the Iran-Iraq War (1980–88), along with a Peace Museum, was completed in a park in Tehran, the capital of Iran. These facilities were established by the Society for Chemical Weapons Victims Support (an Iranian NGO), the city of Tehran, some other NGOs, and individuals and groups in Hiroshima.

     

    The museum coordinates a peace education program that holds workshops on humanitarian law, disarmament, tolerance, and peace education. At the same time, it hosts conferences on the culture of peace, reconciliation, international humanitarian law, disarmament, and peace advocacy.

     

    Additionally, the museum houses a documentary studio that provides a workspace wherein the individual stories of victims of warfare can be captured and archived for the historical record. The museum’s peace library includes a collection of literature spanning topics from international law to the implementation of peace to oral histories of veterans and victims of war.

     

    Permanent and rotating peace-related art exhibitions displaying the work of amateur international and Iranian artists and children's drawings are also housed in the museum complex. Finally, the Iranian secretariat for the international organization Mayors for Peace is housed in the Tehran Peace Museum.
