The Seville Statement on Violence<\/h1>\n

VII CICA, Seville, 10-16 May 1986<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"In the late seventies of the past century, the International Society for Research on Aggression (ISRA) decided to launch a UN-Committee that, among other goals, would aim at organizing a series of symposia under the auspices of UNESCO. It was hoped that these symposia would eventually lead towards a UNESCO statement on human violence following the example of what had previously been achieved by UNESCO with regard to the notion of ‘human race’. In Mexico City, during the IV World ISRA Conference (1982), an UN-Committee was selected for this purpose.<\/p>\n

A provisional program was drafted and submitted to UNESCO and to other governmental international institutions. After an initial burst of enthusiasm, there was a very long silence! In spite of this lack of any official support we, scientists from very different disciplines, kept freely and openly discussing the proposed agenda. The main question we wanted to answer was whether modern natural and social sciences knew of any biological factors that were an insurmountable or a serious obstacle to the goal of world peace.<\/p>\n

Efficiently coordinated by David Adams, at that time professor at Wesleyan University, we exchanged the latest information about animal behavior, psychology, brain research, genetics, and other related sciences.<\/h4>\n

A draft was elaborated and sent to all of us to study. Finally about twenty odd from 13 countries and many different disciplines, met in Seville and La R\u00e1bida. (see photo gallery). In 1492 this place became famous for Columbus started his discovering trip to the New World from there. After almost five centuries and one week of practical seclusion, the final Seville Statement on Violence was born – hopefully giving rise to another new world – a world of Peace. It was May of 1986, the UN declared International Year of Peace.<\/p>\n

Later it has been endorsed and published by more than 40 scientific organizations and disseminated by another 35. UNESCO, by decision of its General Conference at its 25th session (Paris, 16\/11\/1989) also ordered its dissemination around the world. It has been translated into many languages.<\/p>\n
