Throughout the centuries we have noticed changes of names taking place with regularity. Usually, such changes take place for purpose of injecting new vitality and new inspiration. When the highly respected Polish Cardinal Karol Wojtyla became Pope, he immediately changed his name and became known as Pope John Paul II. Former US President Gerald Ford was born as Leslie King but later his name was changed. A young lady from Macedonia that was born as Agnes, later changed her name and became the famous Mother Teresa.

Creation of new Name

The time has arrived for the International Association of Educators for World Peace (IAEWP) to change the name of its leading monthly publication, UN News, whose objective was to instill a positive and constructive image of the United Nations primarily among its members. This well written publication lasted for exactly seven years, from August 1998 to August 2005. This newspaper has managed to retain the trust that people had for the UN and it succeeded to instill interest in those who were lukewarm about this world body of nations.

Besides, the UN News was instrumental in correcting misconceptions and in eliminating prejudices that many had of the United Nations, which we projected as a providential organization that is determined to solve human conflicts through healthy dialogues rather than through brutal wars. The time for a change in name has arrived with the publication of Diplomacy Journal, which will concentrate thoroughly on proper and effective means that should be adopted by nations everywhere to bring about progress, prosperity, and peace.

The International Association of Educators for World Peace is a Non Governmental Organization dedicated to promote United Nations? goals of peace education, environmental protection, human rights and disarmament. All of this will be reflected in the continued publication of an old friend, UN News, under the new name, Diplomacy Journal. The contributions made in this newly born journal will reflect the importance of the noble goals of the United Nations that have just been outline.

We decided to change our newspaper?s name for a number of reasons. We wanted to make sure that the new readers of our publication would not think that the UN News might have been a publication of the United Nations, even though in each issue we made it clear that such was not the case. Besides, we wanted to find a way in revitalizing this monthly publication as to make it more readable in order to be better expanded and more diffused all over the world. Needless to say, we would want to see writers from every walk of life and profession contributing toward making this journal a great success.

Universal Welfare of Humanity

Our articles will continue to reflect interest in the universal welfare of all people without exception. For those who may not know, the International Association of Educators for World Peace operates on the principle of the three Z?s consisting of Zero Bureaucracy, Zero Politics, and Zero Budget. It has been operating successfully on these three principles since its conception in 1967 and its official establishment in 1969. By Zero Bureaucracy we mean this. Once our members conceive of activities that are conducive to the universal welfare of all people without exception, there is no need to seek the approval of anyone. They simply take the initiative and go ahead into work.

By Zero Politics we mean that when it comes to assign positions of responsibility, we do not go to seek for votes and recommendations as to ?support? one?s ?nomination.? We simply explore the kind of work that individuals under consideration have performed in terms of productive results. Those that achieved most, especially at the cost of self-sacrifice, will be offered the projected positions of responsibility. By Zero Budget we mean that we do not make money as a condition to get work done. If the work is important and indispensable for the welfare of all people without exception, we go ahead and do it by all means, even without money.

This is based on our philosophy, which maintains that what solves problems properly and effectively as to improve the quality of human life everywhere is not sought in money but in manpower, in people who volunteer to give their time, energy, and expertise for the good of the human cause. We view money merely as a means to higher goals and objectives as to facilitate the eventual success we are after.
