Children have never been seen as the purveyors of peace, only as victims of war. Yet, in Colombia, South America, where generations have lived and died in an unremitting state of war, three young adolescents founded the Children’s Peace Movement for which they were nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1999. In their campaign, Farliz Calle and her co-founders spoke at an international meeting where their translators broke down in tears over their words. They appeared on television in Panama where the station, having allocated ten minutes air-time, held up advertisements and other programming so that these children could continue speaking. The Children’s Peace Movement in Colombia founded in 1996, had organized a special nation-wide election for children. In an overwhelming response, nearly three million children turned up at the polls to voice their desire for peace. Farliz Fanny Calle Guerrero, 18, daughter of a banana plantation worker from Apartado, one of Colombia’s most violent municipalities has represented this movement along with co-founder Juan Elias, 17, and Mayerly, 14. In the last two years, they have travelled to New York, Panama, Venezuela, Spain and The Hague. Children of war, seeking peace.
