    • Guillermo Gaviria in Galtung’s 80th Anniversary Festschrift

    July 2010. Networkers SouthNorth and Pambazuka Press have released a provocative Festschrift (Experiments with Peace) to commemorate Johan Galtung’s 80th anniversary. The volume includes a chapter by CGNK founder and Governing Council Chair Glenn D. Paige exploring the nonkilling political leadership of Colombian Governor Guillermo Gaviria Correa.

    In April the Center for Global Nonkilling and Cascadia Publishing House released the English translation of "Diary of a Kidnapped Colombian Governor", by Guillermo Gaviria, who was kidnapped and murdered by the FARC during a failed rescue attempt in May 5, 2003. The edition is launched on the seventh anniversary of his death and commemmorates Gaviria's commitment to nonviolence as a political strategy.
