Albuquerque City Council has made a decision designed to honor the concept of ending all war and bringing peace to the world.
The council declared that the month of August, and August 27 especially, would be dedicated to honoring the Kellogg-Brian Treaty, which was signed in 1928.
To help mark the occasion, Ray McGovern, a former CIA agent who became a peace activist, visited the city and spoke at a reception hosted by a local chapter of Veterans for Peace.
The president of the city council, Rey Garduno, also read a proclamation that stated that Albuquerque encouraged all of its citizens to commit to the concept of choosing non-violence to resolve international disputes. A banner printing firm can help to get the word out about an event like this by designing and then printing Banners and other custom printed materials for use during speeches.
The original Kellogg-Briand Pact, which was signed in Paris, was written after World War I, with the intention of preventing armed conflicts between the United States and France. Eventually, all the other countries in the world were invited to add their names to theirs. Initially, 15 of them did, and eventually most other nations came on board as well.
Though it was not effective at ending war, it did provide an initial base for future agreements and treaties, and it is still in effect today, 87 years later.Get a Free Quote for Banners
