Welcome to the
International Peace CharterThe International Peace Charter (IPC) is a new organization, operating independently of the United Nations, with the purpose of achieving world peace.
The Charter
Commitment to Peace and Unity – Together We Can Create World Peace
All countries of the world must make an immediate declaration and commitment to:
Declaration of Peace and Respect for Diversity
All nations must make an immediate and unwavering declaration of peace. They must acknowledge, respect, and embrace cultural and religious diversity—both within their own borders and across the globe. The mindset of war, dominance, and the pursuit of power over others must be abandoned. Instead, nations must uphold the rights, freedoms, and dignity of all individuals, both their citizens and those of the world.
Cessation of Military Conflicts
All nations must commit without delay to ending all forms of military conflict. Armed aggression and warfare must no longer be acceptable tools of policy or power.
Respect for Sovereign Borders
The territorial integrity of all countries must be respected. Nations must pledge to honor existing borders and resolve disputes through peaceful dialogue and diplomacy.
Reduction and Elimination of Military Weapons
A global initiative must be launched to reduce and ultimately eliminate military arsenals, including both conventional and nuclear weapons. Resources should be redirected toward development, education, and humanitarian efforts.
Redefining Military Purpose
The role of military forces must shift to a purely defensive and peacekeeping capacity. Their function should be non-provocative, focused on protecting national sovereignty and maintaining internal security—not on offensive operations or foreign intervention.
Adherence to International Justice
All countries must recognize and abide by the authority of the International Criminal Court (ICC). The ICC must be supported as a permanent, impartial body to prosecute the most serious international crimes, including genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and acts of aggression.
Promotion of Meditation for Collective Harmony
Nations must encourage and support the practice of meditation among their citizens. Scientific research shows that group meditation fosters a collective consciousness that leads to reduced crime and conflict, promoting peace and harmony. While this concept is not widely known, it is a vital and transformative tool for creating a more peaceful global society.
Mission Statement
The mission of International Peace Charter (IPC) is to achieve world peace by encouraging the leader(s) of each country in the world to endorse and ratify the International Peace Charter.
This will be accomplished through the initiation of an international peace movement utilizing the power of the World Wide Web. World citizens will encourage their leaders to endorse and ratify the Peace Charter though an online petition and email campaign.
This will also be accomplished through the establishment of an international peace mediation committee consisting of world citizens with the goal of mediating current and ongoing military conflicts through adherence to the principles of the International Peace Charter.

Call For Action
Our vision is for an international peace movement through the collective power of the internet. The World Wide Web is a relatively new phenomenon. The WWW unites all citizens of the world and all countries of the world. In essence, through the WWW we are one world and one planet.
Through the proliferation of nuclear and conventional weapons throughout the world we have developed a military arsenal capable of destroying the planet 5 times over. There are currently 50 conflicts in countries throughout the world.
We must communicate to our leaders that this is insane, immature, irresponsible policy and behaviour. It must stop!
An online petition and online emails are a powerful combination. Numbers matter. We can demonstrate strength in public opinion through the sheer volume of petitioned names and emails. This is the newest and best way to communicate to our leaders.
While a petition is powerful, nothing is more powerful than emails. Emails represent both a plea and prayer to our leaders for world peace. We would encourage you to do both the petition and the email for maximum benefit and result.
This as a quick and easy process. With a few keystrokes, you can contribute towards a national and international peace movement. You don’t have to leave your home to make a statement to the PM. Please add your name to the petition and send an email to the Prime Minister in your words or in the words as we have provided. Also, please forward this website to your contacts.
Thank you for helping to create a national and international peace movement. Together we can create world peace!

This is a plea and prayer for world peace.
As world citizens, we are furious about the ongoing global wars and of all the military weapons in the world, particularly all the nuclear weapons.

World Peace Through Meditation
World peace has not been achieved since the beginning of civilization. Since 1914 we have had two world wars and numerous other conflicts throughout the world.
The League of Nations was founded in 1920 after World War I. With the goal of preventing future wars and promoting global peace, It ceased to function effectively. Three major conflicts including World War II occurred since its establishment. In 1945 following World War II , the United Nations replaced the League of Nations. It too has been unable to achieve its goals of global peace.
Clearly a new approach is required. International Peace Charter is a new non-profit organization founded in 2025 with a purpose of creating world peace. It will operate independently of the United Nations.
IPC offers a solution to world peace through a simple statement of charter principles. Central to its charter is the promotion of meditation to citizens throughout the world.
Research has proven that certain types of meditation promote social harmony and peace. Specifically, Transcendental Meditation (TM) is believed to create peace both on an individual and societal level through its effects on reducing stress and promoting mental coherence.
In this video of Dr. Hagelin, former president of Maharishi International University in Fairfield, Iowa, US explains the theory on how TM contributes towards peace. His speech is titled Brain Based Approach to Peace. His message is world peace through inner peace.
About The Charter
The International Peace Charter (IPC) was founded by Miles Craig, a spiritual, private Canadian citizen living in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, with a background in business and philanthropy.
Miles’ concern for wars throughout the world, in particular the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, led to his belief that there is a critical need for a new peace organization and new international peace charter encompassing all 198 countries of the world.
He believes that the countries responsible for existing wars exhibit war mentalities while benefiting from the proliferation of military weapons, including both conventional and nuclear arms.
World peace requires responsible and mature leadership from the leaders of every country.
Miles’ vision is for an international peace movement through the connective power of the internet. Approximately 70% of the Earth’s population (about 5.5 billion people), are internet users. Miles proposes that citizens of the world send messages to their leaders in support of peace and solidarity. The power of people, personal action, and prayer is not to be underestimated. Prayer being both the oral, written, or request for intervention from God.
Budha appears in our life, in our world, to each us how to develop and maintain a special experience of linner peace that leads to world peace. The real method of creating world peace is to develop and maintain inner peace, peace of mind. Nothing is more important if we care about this world and the people in this world than developing and maintaining inner peace.
— Gen-la Kelsang Dekyong
The ultimate goal is to reach the governments of each country to endorse and ratify the International Peace Charter.
The practice of meditation in countries throughout the world is key to achieving long term world peace. Meditation facilitates and enables collective consciousness within society. Meditation within a group of people has a calming effect on the rest of the population. Research has proven that this reduces crime and conflict within society. Meditation ultimately helps to create a more peaceful, rich and prosperous society. The world needs more individual and group meditators.
Wars throughout the world are a result of power and greed among some leaders. We live in a war society where war is a part of our mentality and culture. The world economy is predicated on the manufacture and sale of military weapons.
Wars are precipitated by an overabundance of military weapons, both conventional and nuclear. The total world military expenditures in 2023 were $2.4 trillion. Here is a brief overview of military expenditures by country:
| USA: $916 Billion* | China: $296 Billion |
| Russia: $109 Billion | India: $83.6 Billion |
| Canada: $41 Billion |
*Representing 40% of the total world military expenditures
There are misconceptions and a lack of education about the benefits of military expenditures. Increased military spending makes the world more dangers, not less dangerous. Restraint in military expenditures is essential for world peace.
