People who develop the habit of thinking of themselves as world citizens are fulfilling the first requirements of sanity in our times.
In this period of world transformations, independent voices are needed, to warn, to highlight the need for cooperative action and to propose measures for the peaceful resolution of disputes.

These World Citizen Diplomacy Appeals aim to reduce violence, protect human rights, and to create bridges between cultures.
