“Our instrument and our hope is the United Nations - and I see little merit in the impatience of those who would abandon this imperfect world instrument because they dislike our imperfect world. For the troubles of a world organization merely reflect the troubles of the world itself. And if the organization is weakened, these troubles can only increase. We may not always agree with every detailed action taken by every officer of the world itself. And if the organization is weakened, these troubles can only increase. We may not always agree with every detailed action taken by every officer of the United Nations, or with every voting majority, but as an institution, it should have in the future, as it has had in the past, since its inception, no stronger or more faithful member than the United States of America.”

- John F. Kennedy, addressing United Nations General Assembly.
State of the Union Address, January 11,1962

GAP

GROUPS OF ACTIONS TOWARD PEACE

VISIT US HERE!

Group of Actions toward Peace (GAP) is a project of Friends of the United Nations and is based on the formation of local independent groups that affiliate to our organization. We work for the benefit in the living conditions of their communities and thus toward the achievement of a more peaceful relation with ourselves and with other human beings of the planet.

GAPs are local groups around the world working toward the same goals as Friends of the United Nations, especifically suited to the area where the GAP is located. GAPs are groups involving civilians of goodwill that organize activities in their own areas.
