I hope that a student will write a thesis on the experience of the Ministry of Peace created by President Eisenhower, a former general, probably the first Ministry of Peace ever on this planet. It was abolished due to the cold war. Since that war is gone, it would be very useful to reestablish such a Ministry in the US and create similar ones in other countries. Harold Stassen, the last US signer of the UN Charter still alive, was the incumbent. His Memoirs and the US archives could be a good source of information, experiences and ideas.

| | Robert's Golden Sayings | The body, our cosmic unit, tends to follow the expectations of the mind. The latter, therefore, is crucial for the guidance and well-functioning of our being. The same is true for humanity.
* If negative elements create sickness, then positive elements create health. Humanity has an enormous knowledge of negative elements: stress, worry, anxiety, depression, panic, etc. and very scant knowledge of positive ones: joy, happiness, hope, laughter, enthusiasm, etc. why is that? Probably because doctors, psychiatrists, psychologists and pharmaceutical manufacturers are quite happy to study and advertise the former: they can then sell tranquilizers, antacids and drugs to heal them. Positive elements on the contrary cost nothing. They are found free inside each individual. By emphasizing them they would harm their business and importance! It is as simple as that.
* What I like about the UN is that it seldom ponders over old ground and instead concentrates on the present and the future. The new, interdependent world which is in the making has no precedent. Looking at the past would not be any help.
* The same way as the Hopis sing to their corn to make it grow, so should we sing to our whole being, to our body, to our eyes, to our heart, to our mind, to all our helpers of life, the trillions of little cells who work together to make us live. A mother sings to her child. She has very good reasons for doing that. A couple sings and dances when falling in love. The whole world must become a Paradise and learn to sing and dance together. World cooperation must take the form of a festival, of a joyous love event.
* | | My Testament to the UN
-A Contribution to the 50th Anniversary of the United Nations, 1995, Chapter 6 | From the world's point of view, my presence and work at the UN for forty years was a blessing. From the point of view of the big powers, it was a nuisance. But in the long run, they will also find that it was a blessing, for without the UN, the nation state sovereign system would have ended earlier and in a worse manner.
