Declaration Green Crystal
Issued in Copenhagen, 11th December 2009

We hold this truth to be self-evident, that all people want to promote peace and prevent war and conflicts. We have the inalienable right and duty to work together in cooperation and pool resources for the promotion, prevention and resolution of conflict in a collaborative way, for the good of ourselves, our families, our communities, and our society as a whole.

◊ We believe that with a political will all Nations can find peaceful means to settle their disputes
◊ We believe that most conflicts can be mitigated and addressed by helping the civil society fulfill their needs and satisfy their interests
◊ We are convinced that mediation is a unique, powerful and effective tool for conflict resolution, and a means of achieving these ends.
◊ We know that professional mediators have the adequate competencies to help the World solve climate change and the consequent conflicts deriving from them in efficient and satisfactory ways for all parties involved.
◊ We believe that a consolidated professional platform visible for all is needed to ensure that people in disputes have easy access to a diverse group of conflict resolution processes and practitioners
◊ We believe that our planet is in need of an impartial, internationally recognized conflict resolution body an institution made of experienced practitioners recognized by the worlds Nations and funded by them.
◊ We believe that by creating such a body, important international issues can be negotiated more effectively, leaders can improve their relationships, people can collaboratively address critical issues, and everyone can express their differences peacefully.
◊ We believe that an internationally recognized symbol, is necessary to ensure recognition of the importance and value of mediation
◊ We are therefore pleased to announce the formation of Green Crystal, an international body of mediators who will provide peaceful conflict resolution by building an accessible infrastructure for global environmental negotiations and conflict resolution

We request that Green Crystal be recognized by the United Nations, governments, and other organizations as an Institution with an international mandate and Conventions in which the world's nations:
