Preventing Violent Conflict - a major new policy document from the UKI received this report via The Peace Alliance (http://www.ThePeaceAlliance.org). Congratulations to the people in the UK who made possible this movement of their government in a positive direction! We are delighted to inform you all that the British Government this week published a new policy entitled 'Preventing Violent Conflict'. This policy was based on wide consultations including submissions from Transcend and ministry for peace. It is particularly significant that no less than five government departments consulted on and support this new policy - The Foreign and Commonwealth Office, the Ministry of Defence, the Cabinet Office, the Treasury, and the Department for International Development. We are also especially delighted that the launch event for this new policy was hosted by the new All Party Parliamentary Group on Conflict Issues which was set up and is managed by ministry for peace. The minister, Hilary Benn gave a brilliant speech which we will send you very soon. Meanwhile, you can read the policy document at - Very best wishes from all at ministry for peace and good luck with all your endeavours. Irving Rappaport See also UK Ministry for Peace Campaign.
