Anti-war and peace movements

Japanese: 反戦・平和運動 - はんせんへいわうんどう
Anti-war and peace movements
The anti-war and peace movement is a mass movement opposed to war itself or to the very situation that threatens to cause war. In other words, it is a general term for mass movements that reject war and everything that leads to war. The spiritual or ideological background of such anti-war and peace movements is based on three elements: (1) a religious stance that preaches love for one's neighbor, (2) a humanitarian stance that respects human beings, and (3) a socialist stance that aims for human liberation.
