Peace remains an aspiration and an ideal for humanity in its quest for meaning and well-being. It is a factor in development and a pillar of education. Against the threats to peace, war, violence, conflict and insecurity, the author of this book proposes an ethic based on a few moral principles: dignity, responsibility, respect for human rights, tolerance and cooperation. These principles are signals that can accompany efforts towards peace and living together. Through his book, the author seeks to understand, establish and promote the conditions necessary for building harmonious coexistence between individuals, social groups and nations. The University of Peace in the Congo plays a central role in this dynamic. It is part of an educational vision that sees peace not simply as the absence of war, but as a set of values, behaviours, practices and social structures oriented towards human dignity, solidarity and justice.
