It urged for investments in education, dialogue, and conflict resolution strategies that can address the root causes of conflicts and help prevent future violence.

As a collective force for positive change, Writers for Human Rights is committed to amplifying the voices of those affected by conflicts, as well as the voices of writers who strive to make a difference through their literary works.

The coalition's members pledge to continue using their platforms to highlight the urgent need for a world in which military interventions and wars become relics of the past.
