Celebrating Peace - October 11, 2013

This year the Nobel Peace Prize goes to the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons which has been hard at work for several years to rid the world of chemical weapons. What a monumental change in values and action in one human lifetime. We have moved from massive use of such weapons in both World Wars, stockpiling in this and other countries in the ensuing decades, and now to commitment and action to safely dispose them. Only a handful of countries are not currently participating. This is indeed cause for celebration.
