Synthesis of the History of the World Organization for Peace This organization functions, since its founding, as a humanitarian programme, which was established by men of good will who, as benevolent contributors, supported selflessly what they called ‘a work in support of Peace’. Designed in 1990, by its mentor and founder Carlos Peralta, who in the beginning of the 1980s initiated the Foundation Messages of Peace to the World and participated in other public good organizations. ‘Organization for Peace’ was its first official name, that was in use from November 1990. Only from 1991, until August 2004, it functioned as an actual institution, elaborating programmes and defining actions for the good of World Peace, such as universal books with messages of Peace, exclusively delivered by heads of the United Nations member states, in tribute to this global organization; for its permanent work, for over half a century, in the interest of Peace (1990/2002). Equally, more than hundred of interreligious gatherings of representatives of various religions and worships were organized and projects were presented to international organizations and NGOs, most of which were realized. Also there was active collaboration with regard to pacific mediations, in favor of the meeting of mankind, for a better future. This stage of development, between 1991 and the turn of the millennium in 1999, was formative and constructive for the new organization, as well as for its founding members, who joined their experience and time, adding the support of professors, mediators, coaches, peace treaty experts, winners of the Nobel Peace Prize, former heads of UN member states, representatives of various religions and worships and journalist from more than 37 countries. From 2000 to 2004, the ‘post-launching’ of this work was realized, being registered under the new name: World Organization For Peace (English) / Organización Mundial Por la Paz (Spanish) / Organisation Mondiale pour la Paix (French) / Organizazione Mondiale per la Pace (Italian), with the acronyms OMPP and WOFP. Since it commencement, the organization was designed, by its mentor and co-founders, with the prospect of and hope for - once structured - a disinterested integration into the UN system, so that it can function as the agency that is missing with regard to Peace programmes within the structure of the global organization, given that other areas are covered by programmes of traditional agencies such as UNESCO (education), WHO (health), UNICEF (children), FAO (food), ILO (work), UNHCR (refugees) and WTO (trade). On 6 August 2005, the constitutional act of the OMPP WOFP was signed in Geneva, Switzerland, ‘City of Peace’. The Peace Bell, adjacent to the building of the United Nations, was rung 365 times, symbolizing the continuous commitment to peace; all days of the year. The members, willing to contribute to a world in Peace, as permanent guardians of the assumed mission, signed the founding act on the square of the Peace Bell. In February 2006, after various enlargement acts and reforms of its founding statute, the OMPP-WOFP was registered at the Canton of Geneva, so that the organization, from the beginning of 2012, and if approved by the global organization itself, could be an agency of the UN, to contribute the ‘Culture of Peace’ programme. This would be without receiving anything in return, i.e. the prospect of serving mankind, in line with the principles and wishes of the founders, is more than enough. Only the thought and impartial acting of the United Nation could make this programme possible. It is in consideration of that future scope, to transform itself in the Peace Agency of the UN, that the World Organization For Peace (OMPP WOFP), did not apply for a consultative status with the Economic and Social Council of the UN (ECOSOC). The World Organization For Peace (OMPP-WOFP) is currently developing the management of economic support for its programmes, by one to tree UN member states, to become an Intergovernmental Organization, after which, with the summing-up of the progress of its programmes and the development of its structure, it will present itself before the United Nations, to be accepted as Peace Agency of this global organization.
