Qualifications For Membership
When we talk about Peace Advocates and Practitioners, we are not only talking about intellectuals or intelligentsia, academicians, research scholars and contemporary writers but also historians. Neither are we talking about anthropologists, educationists and colleagues from all kinds of the field of education. But we are also talking that: Membership is open for everyone, no matter the nationality, colour, social and religious belongings or the physical appearance.

Having said that, there are addenda to the qualification of members and also include:

We are in addition, talking about people who oppose conflict, but love, advocate and solicit for peace

People who have respect for humanity irrespective of people individual social belongings

We are further talking about those who preach and practice equal opportunity - the same or equal playing ground for all that will yield good results
