*New Zealand has a Ministry of Disarmament. The question raised was whether they would therefore qualify as a Ministry member or whether as a current coalition of NGO’s could they qualify?

The group’s response was that a Ministry of Disarmament may not be responsible for the development of peace education and peace architecture directly yet it certainly is a primary peace pillar in our current world.
