Arrival of Peace March participants in Auckland
September 26

Official welcome by the greeting committee
to Aotearoa/New Zealand

Auckland City is pleased to greet the international team and all who arrive to take part in opening events for the World March for Peace and Nonviolence.

Auckland is New Zealand's largest urban area, with a population of just over a million people. The city's landscape is dominated by volcanic hills, the twin harbours, bays, beaches and islands. Its nickname 'the city of sails' is very apt. Auckland has more boats per capita than anywhere else in the world. Auckland is dotted with volcanic hills, many of which were once the site of Maori pas, or fortified villages, and which currently afford great views of the city.

World Peace March to start from most peaceful nation on earth!

Scoop – NZ June 5

Mundo sin Guerres (World without Wars), an international organisation working to prevent war and promote non-violence, has decided to start a 90-day World March for Peace and Non-violence www.worldmarch.co.nz in New Zealand, the country recently affirmed by the Global Peace Index (GPI) as the most peaceful nation on earth.

The World March will start in Wellington, New Zealand's capital city, on Mahatma Gandhi’s birthday 2 October and then travel through 95 countries culminating in Argentina. Thousands of concerts, festivals, forums, and demonstrations are planned to coincide with the march worldwide.

Rafael de la Rubia, founder of Mundo sin Guerres and the international spokesperson for the World March says “We chose New Zealand because it is the first country to grant women the right to vote, to legally ban nuclear weapons, and the first and only country to establish a Minister for Disarmament, so we are pleased at the recognition now given to New Zealand by the Global Peace Index.”
