The 11 unique “ingredients” in “recipe” of strategies that makes the Century Cease-Fire™ distinguishable.

1.  The CCF is a student-powered, world-wide call to action.
2. The CCF is non-partisan, with appeal across the entire spectrum of ideologies.
3. The CCF sets a more realistic and achievable goal of a “cease-fire.”
4. The CCF sets a more realistic timeline for resolution of the most intransigent conflicts --- a “Century.”
5. The CCF changes the debate over existing grievances based on historical conflicts to a focus on the future conditions we will bequeath to, and will be inherited by, the future innocent children yet-to-be-born into this World.
6. The CCF seeks to break the vicious cycle of recruiting innocent children to be the next generation to perpetuate hate, intolerance, and commit senseless acts of violence.
7. The CCF nevertheless acknowledges the harsh realities of today --- that there are individuals and groups determined to promote hate and intolerance, and to commit heinous acts of violence.
8. The CCF realistically acknowledges both: (a) the limitations of force as a means to resolve conflicts, and (b) the need for limited and judicious use of force to deter and impose consequences on those who would seek to breach a Century Cease-Fire™.
9. But the CCF also acknowledges the great hope for humanity --- namely, the realization that the overwhelming majority of citizens wishes for their children to grow and prosper in a safe, secure, and non-violent environment, rather than suffer in a World filled with the constant threat of deadly violence.
10. The CCF manifests this “will of the Citizens of the World” through a single international document --- a Petition for a Century Cease-Fire™.
11. Through this single international expression of unity we, the citizens of the World, grant to our World leaders the “political cover” they need to have the courage to create the conditions necessary to sustain our non-violent co-existence.
