International Association of Educators for World Peace

About This Association

In brief, the International Association of Educators for World Peace acts through education, to protect the environment from air and water pollution, and to help implement the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The basic dimensions of our philosophy are a firm belief in peace and confident steps to achieve a new era of world peace. In 1973, the Association became a non governmental organization of both the United Nations' Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) and the United Nations' Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). It also became a part of the United Nations Department of Information (UNDPI). In 1990 the same Association became officially linked with the United Nations International Children's Educational Fund (UNICEF) and the United Nations Conference on Environmental Development (UNCED). It now has chapters in over 100 countries. In 1987, the U.N. Secretary-General, Javier Perez de Cuellar, designated IAEWP as a PEACE MESSENGER of the world on behalf of he U.N. General Assembly, in recognition of significant contributions made to the program and objectives of the 1986 International Year of Peace.
