ARC Peace Quotes
ARC: The UN and Africa
Nurturing ARC Instrumentals
World Dialogue Sounds, created in 2004 by an African (Djigui Diabate from the Ivory Coast) and an Afro Caribbean (Karl Miller from Jamaica) , is a fusion of Revival Reggae, Jazz, World Music, Drum and Bass, Easy Listening, Rhythm and Blues (R&B), Soul, Tribal, Ethnic, Instrumental and Speech Rap genres. It is optimised for speech (but presents an excellent medium for singing, rapping and toasting) by removing some distracting and overbearing sounds. Created with modern computer software, it features simple loops of many
instruments that require an orchestra or a large band for fine live rendition. The sounds generate soothing, sad, groovy and even party moods. The instrumentals are rich in variety of sound and can be used for discos, background music, sound effects, film moods creation or just chilling.

| Quotes on the UN and Disarmament “Peace in the 21st century demands a shift from the 20th century’s expenditures on the military to civilian programs that safeguard human security” |
| How you can help ARC “please be mindful of the fact that human beings are organisms and that most micro-organisms / bacteria die from the toxic effects of their waste products, before their food runs out.” |
| Some ARC Voices many others will not hear the small voices of peace in the wilderness of the many sounds of modern life., |

Includes:
| Blood Run Done; Cease, Now Peace – Origins |
| Blood Run Done; Cease, Now Peace – International Year (“To end a war and gain peace somewhere along the line you must have a cease-fire”), |
| The UN is in Crisis over Africa. Track indices are: Preamble and Introduction (“the UN is in crisis is because over 4 million people have died in Africa in the last 6 years due to the conflicts and the effects of conventional weapons… yet Africa does not produce many weapons…. yet incredibly, not one person has been prosecuted for supplying the weapons of their destruction and death of the 4 million in the last 6 years. It’s like legalised aiding, abetting and facilitating mass slaughter). 1 Give Up Armies, 2 Stem The Tide – End the Conflicts Now, (“Many more will have to suffer, many more will have to die, don’t ask me why” (Bob Marley).) 3 Prosecute the Guilty, 4 Collect and Destroy the Weapons, 5 Effectively Implement Sanctions – Supplies to and Resources from Conflict Areas, 6 Reduce resources spent on weapons (“It also amazes me how some very religious and moral people fight against contraception yet support and even invest in the weapons industry. It is as if the investment in weapons is so profitable that it overrides their beliefs, and the extra people are needed as cannon fodder or test subjects for the weapons to be used to kill them”), 7 Implement UN Resolutions, 8 Reform the UN Conference on Disarmament (CD), 9 Get More Women Leaders, Summary (“It will be very sad for humanity; if in future historians look back on this period and conclude that the UN failed in its fundamental / primary tasks because the founders and reformers of the UN were naive or mistaken in the belief and hopes that such tasks were achievable due to the intrinsic shortcomings of the members of the Security Council (e.g. self interests, ideological differences, politics, they being the makers of most of the weapons in the world, their need to maintain power and control). The UN is charged with the very difficult task of making the impossible possible (like Doctors tending the sick) – that of saving succeeding generations from the scourge of war. The well being of all is dependent on their success. I believe that despite the inherent difficulties, cynics, politicking and bad experiences of the past; the UN can be more successful in achieving peace in the future.”) |
| Some ARC Voices – Remix. (“Remember. “with all its” violence, “sham, drudgery and broken dreams; it is still a beautiful world. Be Careful. Strive to be happy” (Desiderata); and Enjoy! Whatever you do.”) |
