“In the centre of my politics stood life itself which with all my forces I wanted to bring back to Apartadó. Peace is not the opposite of conflicts. A society is peaceful only when it has learned to solve its problems by means of intelligence instead of by means of weapons.”
Gloria Cuartas
former mayoress of Apartadó/Colombia; UNESCO – counsellor and supporter of the Peacecommunity San José de Apartadó
