Feb. 5—The Schiller Institute has won a victory with its conference of Feb. 4. We brought together 25 highly qualified and experienced speakers from 16 nations around the world, all focused on success of the initiatives of the Pope and the President of Brazil, as well as Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche, for negotiated peace to stop a spiral of escalation toward nuclear world war. But the conference also distinctly represented Helga Zepp-LaRouche’s principle that any such presentation to a worldwide audience must be “two-thirds devoted to the solution,” which is development. As Guyana’s former President David Ramotar, one of the half-dozen high-level representatives of Latin American and Caribbean nations, said, “Broaden this opposition to the war! The Global South must have a place at the table in a new international development architecture.”
