    • Brazilian Institute for Nonkilling is Launched

    November 2009. The Brazilian Institute for Nonkilling (Instituto Brasileiro do Não matar, INAM) was formally registered and presented this month as a nonprofit civil organization. The Institutes's goal is to increase the understanding and application of the nonkilling approach in Brazil and other Portuguese-speaking countries.

    One of the first initiatives has been the translation of Nonkilling Global Political Science into Portuguese, which will soon be released by the Federal University of Pernambuco Press. The Institute will also be working closely with the Global Nonkilling Observatory established in partnership with CGNK at the Itajaí Valley University.

    Following the announcement and the presentation of its website, the new Institute has received a warm welcome by the global nonkilling community, including messages from Nobel Peace Laureate Máiread Maguire and CGNK Governing Council Chair Glenn D. Paige, who was proclaimed as Honorary President of the Brazilian Institute.
