Idea Dream - Robert Muller's Ideas 1001 to 1500
~ Idea 1055 ~    31 May 1997

I have received the sad news of the demise of Michael Harbottle who was the Commanding General of the United Nations troops in Cyprus and whose assistant I was as political adviser appointed by the Secretary General of the UN.  Years later we met again and I suggested to him to create an association of retired Generals who would work for peace.  He did.  We remained in close touch ever since.  He and his wife became patrons of the International Radio for Peace of the University for Peace in Costa Rica.

To put myself in the right spirit to send Mrs. Harbottle my condolences, I perused my correspondence file with him and her.  She had asked me for advice on how to continue the work of her dear husband.  I found in that file a remarkable proposal by her for the creation of Peace Ministries in all countries to replace the former war ministries now called ministries of Defense. 

She placed herself in the year 2000, five years after the 50th anniversary of the UN, assuming that such Ministries would exist by then.  Since I have raised the idea and dream of the creation of Ministries of Peace in these 2000 ideas, I reproduce in Annex her remarkable proposal - Ministries Of Peace - A Proposal By Generals For Peace

May our dream be fulfilled.

And you will be loved in return.
