The Peace and security Collector Coin design competition (20.3.2009)

The Collector Coin Committee has announced a design competition for all people living in Finland. The Collector Coin Committee is searching for fresh ideas for the new Collector Coin “Peace and Security”.

The Executive Director of Crisis Management Initiative Kalle Liesinen defines peace as a natural state of living for human beings and war as only an exception from this state. Mr. Liesinen continues to say that peace is an element of blessed life and harmony. Security gives people an opportunity to trust in the future.

According to Mr. Ahtisaari peace is a matter of will; every crisis can be solved. War is not an essential way from misery to peace and security. When building peace one must look at the future rather than the past and think about the coming generations more than current benefits. Peace cannot be subjugated by violence but all the forces that support peace must be controllable.
