134.0. "The Promise of World Peace!" by UNCLE::HAKIM () Mon Nov 03 1986 14:38

Recently  a Peace Message was  delivered to most political, social and religious
leaders all  around the world. This Peace Letter has been translated to some 200
hundred languages  and discusses the  steps necessary  for achieving WORLD PEACE
through a well-defined peace program. 

The nature of this  letter is  not political  nor evangelical!  It discusses the
prerequisites of  PEACE and  speaks of  the nature  of the barriers to PEACE and
what mankind and the governments need to do to overcome these barriers! 

This  letter has  been  written by  The Universal House of Justice  (the supreme
governing  body of  the Baha'i Faith), and it is addressed to the peoples of the
world.

This letter has received many positive comments by various groups, institutions,
political leaders and  the leaders of  thought all around the world! Many groups
have endorsed this letter as being beneficial to the public awareness.
The only negative  comments that  I have  personally heard has been, " It is too
idealistic! ". 

The   moderator  of  this  conference felt  that  it  would  be inappropriate to
post this peace message in this conference, but agreed that a note informing the
readers of this conference  of the existence  of this message and how to receive
a soft copy would be appropriate.

Individuals who are interested to have a copy of this letter can contact me on 
UNCLE::HAKIM, or Ed Burgess on REGENT::BURGESS.
