Abstract

spreading a culture of peace in societies goes through the definition of peaceful means and methods for settling disputes. This can be done at the internal level by reforming the justice agencies and building citizens' confidence in them, and organizing and restoring traditional ways of resolving disputes and conflicts through reconciliation and dialogue and Education in order to spread a culture of peace and tolerance in contemporary societies which has become an urgent necessity. Today, education is required to aim at resisting the influence of factors that lead to fear and exclusion of others, and at helping young people to develop their capacities for independence of opinion and critical and moral thinking. Policies and programs should contribute educational curricula and other educational materials in promoting understanding, solidarity and tolerance among individuals and combating violence and extremism. The emergence of democratic culture at the global level is hoped to achieve this goal. In our opinion, the culture of peace is one of the pillars of the culture of democracy. Democratic behaviour is peaceful behaviour. It renounces violence whatever it is, except for legitimate self-defence, which is a natural right, and uses discussion, dialogue and persuasion as a means of dealing. Education aims to develop concepts of education for peace, a better human future, international cooperation and solidarity on the basis of justice, equality, interaction and mutual respect among all nations and peoples. UNESCO stresses that if the goal of education is to raise the level of educational attainment, the most important thing is to link education with life skills in order to prevent violence and build peace. The author addresses the situation at the level of national law, international law and other cultural data related to peace.
