What is "60 Seconds for Peace"?
The idea is simple: "We the People" of the world are establishing a 60-second pause for peace in as many communities as possible across the globe... all on the same day, all at the same time. Sixty seconds of silence to Think, Reflect, Pray or Meditate on Peace.

Our Vision
Our vision is simple: At precisely the same moment on 27 December 2003, at least one billion people will stop to think about peace. Every place of business or commerce will pause for 60 seconds. Every radio and television station will pause for 60 seconds. Every person in motion will pause for 60 seconds. And think about peace. We trust that the simplicity of this event will allow organizations and communities around the world to create their own way of honoring the idea of peace for 60 seconds.
