Mission Statement and Goals of the Peace Caucus

Our mission is to assure that the United Nations acknowledges and addresses the problems of militarization, especially how it robs communities of funding for "adequate shelter for all" and prevents "sustainable settlements development in an urbanizing world." This emphasis comes from our formation in preparation for Habitat II, the Conference on Human Settlements, Istanbul Turkey, June 1996.

Our goals are to present the issues of sustainable development along with the peace agenda to the general population in order to influence public opinion and to lobby governmental and non-governmental delegates to assure that the following items are included in the agenda:
