Aug. 9, 2024 (EIRNS)—The campaign to create a global, interventionist, deliberative process of Reason, an “intercontinental congress” that discusses, debates and implements the Ten Principles for a New International Security and Development Architecture, took a substantial step forward yesterday. Friday’s 62nd consecutive meeting of the International Peace Coalition, held on the 79th anniversary of the nuclear bombing of Nagasaki, convened 550 persons from 35 countries and heard commemorative presentations from former Ohio Congressman (1997-2013) and present Independent Congressional candidate, Dennis Kucinich; Col. Lawrence Wilkerson (ret.), chief of staff for former Secretary of State Colin Powell; former CIA analyst Ray McGovern; former President Donald Ramotar of Guyana; Israeli peace activist and writer Dr. Gershon Baskin and several others.
