Introduction
At the turn of the millennium it became clear that only the joint efforts of people from different countries can create a new system of world relations directed toward creation and progress. The international socio-cultural Assembly "PEACEMAKER" plays a key role in this process, bringing together outstanding personalities, public figures, politicians, actors, musicians, business leaders, athletes and scholars to discuss questions of peaceful cooperation, cultural exchange and spiritual and moral enlightenment.
