INTERNATIONAL LETTER OF PEACE

The citizens who we inhabited this city, we commit ourselves to make all the efforts necessary to guarantee that our city and its settlers, will not participate in military acts.

We trusted the capacity of the men to coexist peacefully between the nations and rejected the use of the arms like means of solution to the international conflicts.

We rejected the violence between the nations and promote the dialogue like coexistence means.

In the conflicts armed between the nations, our city will offer a space to the dialogue, the reason and only will promote a respectful solution between the nations in conflict.

We defend the human rights consecrated in the Universal Declaration of the Human rights and demanded our governors, the respect to those rights.

In the cases of military actions between nations, we pronounced ourselves to guarantee the respect to the human rights and protection to the civil populace.

The children, will have to be the main preoccupation of the nations in war and we promote their protection during military actions.

We declared to our city and its population like "City for Peace"
