Peace Boat's Founder and Director Yoshioka Tatsuya was a student in 1983 when he and fellow students started Peace Boat. Since that time, he has authored books and articles, addressed the United Nations, been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, led the Article 9 Campaign to Abolish War, and been a founding member of the Global Partnership for the Prevention of Armed Conflict.
Peace Boat's voyages have been grounded by the COVID Pandemic, but Peace Boat has found other creative ways to advance its cause, and has plans for voyages as soon as they can be responsibly launched.
If war is ever to be abolished, it will be in great measure due to the work of organizations like Peace Boat educating and mobilizing thinkers and activists, developing alternatives to violence, and turning the world away from the idea that war can ever be justified or accepted. World BEYOND War is honored to present our very first award to Peace Boat.
