World peace has always been a highlight in various international forums and organizations. Many forums had raised the issue in a various conferences, such as the International Youth Forum with the theme The Role of Youth: Action on the Millennium Development Goals Toward a Peaceful World (June 2008), Indonesian Youth Forum with the International Interfaith Young Leaders Conference; Interfaith Summit 2012 (October 2012), Munich: The International Peace Conference (February 2013) and which will be held in Thailand on next May 2013 is the Youth Peace Ambassador International (YPA6) Training Workshop: From Ethical Minds to Ethical Action. All of them, directly or indirectly, are very closely related to the themes and the issues of world peace. Essentially, world peace is the ultimate goal of humanity.
If we want to think, nowadays the world has lost the commitment to make a peace, that is the world peace. This can be seen through many conflicts in this world, for example the conflict between Palestine-Israel that can be seen clearly. In fact, world peace is needed to maintain the stability of the world (which means also the stability of the country). With stability, there will be cooperation in regional or international fairly and mutually.
