🆕News: On Sept. 15 and 16, the NGO Working Group on Human Rights Education and Learning, chaired by SGI, held side events during the 63rd session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland. On Sept. 15, the group co-sponsored a workshop with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) to discuss, through theater, the human rights of children in situations of armed conflict and violence. The same day, Elisa Gazzotti of the SGI Office for UN Affairs, a co-chair of the working group, delivered a statement on its behalf at a High-Level Panel discussion on Human Rights Education and Training. She noted that 15 years after the adoption of the United Nations Declaration on Human Rights Education and Training (2011), the first to establish international standards for human rights education, a large gap remains between commitments and implementation. She called for stronger, more systematic monitoring, including a more robust mechanism to assess implementation. The following day, the group co-hosted an event with the Permanent Missions to the United Nations of Lebanon, Mongolia, Italy, Slovenia, the Philippines and Thailand, where participants reviewed achievements and challenges since the declaration's adoption and discussed priorities for achieving further progress. #SokaGakkai #BuddhisminAction #SokaGakkaiNews

News: "Wisdom: How Interconnected Are We, Really?" was the theme of a youth-focused Dialogue Night event held on Aug. 7 at the Ikeda Center for Peace, Learning, and Dialogue in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. The theme was drawn from Center founder Daisaku Ikeda’s conviction that the wisdom to perceive our interconnectedness is a core attribute of a global citizen. Around 70 Boston-area university students and young professionals gained a deeper understanding of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the experiences of survivors, known as hibakusha. They also discussed the continuing threat of nuclear war, nuclear disarmament efforts, and risks posed by AI. Participants stated that recognizing our interconnectedness helped them appreciate the relevance of these tragic events of 81 years ago and inspired them to take action for peace. Launched in 2017, the Ikeda Center’s Dialogue Nights aim to provide “a safe and brave space” for young people to engage in meaningful dialogue to foster hope. #SokaGakkai #BuddhisminAction #SokaGakkaiNews
