Global Region 10 conducted the 5th-8th sessions of PLTE Mexico Class 24-4 in November. Jessica Mayela Zaragoza De la Cruz, one of the participants, shared her reflection, saying, “In session 7, we examined the critical role of the DPCW in preventing global conflicts. As a lawyer and a peace researcher, I’ve always been reflecting on the concepts of justice, fairness, and the rule of law. The limitation of international law, concerning the absence of an enforcement mechanism, has made me wonder how we can maintain peace and prevent conflicts. The DPCW, which embodies a holistic approach to fostering a culture of peace, can resolve the gap by providing a legal framework and a philosophy to create sustainable peace. This proves that law can go outside the courtroom, connect people’s hearts, and advance inter-respect and collaboration. In the session, I became motivated to advocate for peace professionally. Not only that, but I’m also very inspired by everyone who believes in her role in making a better world of peace and engages actively with peace initiatives.”
Another participant, Brisnie Giovanna Salcedo Anaya, remarked, “I appreciate all your devotion and efforts to bring peace. I am happy to know IWPG, which has greatly influenced me. I hope to join the work to understand the world we live in better every day and to spread a culture of peace.”
