What is the Danish Ministry of Peace /
Fredsministerium. dk?

Sidens top.

The peace organization Fredsministerium.dk / The Danish Ministry of Peace is the umbrella organization for Danish peace organizations and peace activists. Fredsminsterium.dk has decided to work in an unequivocally constructive and future oriented manner.

The leading demand of Fredsministerium.dk is the establishment of a Ministry of Peace for Denmark as an integral part of national government. This idea was raised originally by Fredrik Bajer who received and shared the Nobel Peace Prize in 1908 with the Swede Klas Pontus Arnoldson who had worked for the peaceful dissolving of the political union between Sweden and Norway in 1905. Arnoldson was one of the founders of the Swedish Peace and Reconciliation Society. Fredrik Bajer was a Danish politician who participated in establishing the International Peace Bureau and who thought it would be natural for Denmark to have a ministry of peace along with a war or defence ministry.

It would be a ministry of peace which encompasses all negotiations and all peaceful conflict resolution. Peace issues would have a parliamentary ministry just like defence and the environment. Peace organizations and peace activists should naturally be consulted on relevant issues, be initiators and a popular base for parliamentary peace initiatives and activities.

There is a strong consensus among united Danish pea ce groups to establish a ministry of peace.

The slogans of Fredsministerium.dk are :

Establishment of a parliamentary ministry of peace
No to a militaristic foreign policy
Yes to a peace activistic foreign policy
Civilian instead of military conflict resolution
Research in promoting and maintaining peace
Focus on alternatives to military operations
Peace education on all grade levels
Reduction of the military budget
Clear demarcation between peace and military operations
Women’s involvement in peace processes
War is also a form of terror
No to Danish production and transport of weapons

I met Frants Villadsen and Helge Ratzer from Fredsministerium.dk at the Degerfors Peace Seminars in Sweden in 2013. Since then I have participated in several of Fredsministerium.dk’s meetings as a guest. I also attended the Peace Festival in Aarhus last fall organized by Aarhus Against War and Terror. I shall join Fredsministerium.dk at Folkemoedet (People’s Forum) on Bornholm in June 2014 . The meeting on Bornholm is similar to the popular forum at Almadalen on Gotland in Sweden.
There are encouraging signs of Nordic / Scandinavian cooperation among peace activists which should continue and be expanded.

Fredsministerium / The Danish Ministry of Peace is an umbrella organization or network of a growing number of Danish peace organizations and peace activists.

The leading wish of Fredsministerium is the establishment of a Ministry of Peace for Denmark as an integral part of the national government, so we are trying to persuade the public and members of the Danish Parliament of the need of such a ministry.

We argue that a Peace Minister should be the cornerstone in changing Danish security policy from a policy of war to a policy of peace.

It should be a Ministry of Peace which encompasses all negotiations and all peaceful conflict resolution. Peace issues should have a parliamentary ministry just like defense and the environment.

We believe that the Peace organizations still should rally, protest and campaign, whenever our government chooses to go to war or decides to spend billions on armament and buying of offensive weapons, such as new combat aircrafts!

But most of all we believe, that during the long period of Danish warfare, the military systems, have gained lots of competences while our country has lost its former peace capacity: Nonmilitary conflict resolution, peacebuilding negotiation skills, diplomacy and mediation.

We think that peace researchers, peace organizations and peace activists should naturally be consulted on relevant issues, be initiators and a popular base for parliamentary peace initiatives and activities.

We will participate in this by increasing the peace movements own capacity of peace by means of a yet closer corporation with peace-researchers and to use this capacity to build stronger bridges between the peacemovement, the population and the politicians.

In the near future we hope to be able to attract more organizations, and become more offensive by establishing of a “shadow cabinet”, that will be able to advocate factual about realistic alternatives to the policy of war.

In our own annual and continual events; a small “Peace Folk Highschool” at the Folkemøde on the island of Bornholm in June and on our arrangements, hearings and concerts on the UN Peace Day in September we gather peace researchers –organizations, –activists and -artists.

These years we focus on development of an alternative, comprehensive Danish and Nordic security policy and specific Nordic co-operation to keep the Baltic Sea as a Sea of Peace by demanding demilitarization of the islands in it.

Fredsministerium is the Danish branch of the Global Alliance for Ministries & Infrastructures for Peace, GAMIP.
