With this international conference, the Peace Alliance Northern Germany would like to promote the exchange between peace organizations, learn more about the country-specific peace movements and plan possible actions in the Baltic Sea region. The historical and geopolitical context of the militarization of our Baltic Sea, the eastward expansion of NATO (Sweden/Finland) and the preparations for war taking place there will also be discussed. Historical examples of successful peace efforts (e.g. CSCE Helsinki 1975) will be recalled and proposals for an effective security and peace architecture in the Baltic Sea region (or North Sea/Arctic) and in Europe will be discussed.

We value the peace commandment in our basic constitutional law (Grundgesetz) and are inspired by the long-term vision of a world free of nuclear weapons, in which the tenderness of nations, cooperation for the good of all has prevailed and peaceful, reason-oriented conflict resolution strategies have become the norm.
