39th Annual Plenary Meeting
The Dublin PACT for Peace
Transforming Global Security for People, Planet and Peace
May 2025
Dublin, Ireland
IN RECOGNITION OF our multiple global challenges that accelerate the threats to human survival and existence, including the risks from trade wars, the weakening of democracies and the rule of law, the fragmentation of the UN and multilateral co-operation, a reversal of climate commitments with the further exploitation of fossil fuels.
COMBINED WITH the deregulation of emerging technology and the rapid spread of misinformation.
RECOGNISING ALSO that in combination, these escalating challenges threaten the security of the world, including our life on this planet. Of particular concern, priority threats and risks to the survival of humanity, include averting runaway climate change, preventing and resolving conflicts to reduce risks from nuclear catastrophe, strengthening governance and controls for emerging technologies, including Artificial General Intelligence and the dangers from synthetic pandemics.
RECOGNISING FURTHER that peace, common security, equity, inclusive society and shared prosperity must go together. Peace for People and the Planet are a fundamental foundation for securing our very survival, to create a thriving world for everyone to flourish.
THEREFORE, THE INTERACTION COUNCIL CALLS:
- For a rise in the commitment of all the People of our Planet Earth, to hold a PACT for Peace. Diverting our energies from conflicts and wars will enable our collective skills and resources to be reorientated towards securing the future of humanity, for the wellbeing of our young, and for our future generations.
- Upon leaders to strengthen and reform global governance, multilateral institutions and coordination to transform our global security mechanisms for the survival of humanity. We encourage wider partnerships to enhance collaborative action to advance the following recommendations.

This statement builds upon previous recommendations, meetings and reports, including the InterAction Council’s Universal Declaration of Human Responsibilities, the Dublin Charter for One Health, recommendations from the High Level Meeting at the House of Lords.
The launch of the global EXIST Board at the InterAction Council Plenary session in China, October 2024, supports the Beijing Statement, and is advanced with partners by Plans for the Planet Peace and People, as part of Strategy X-EXIST.
The InterAction Council encourages young leaders to advance these recommendations in collaboration with partners to enable partnerships, amplify advocacy, enhance innovation and strengthen planetary leaders with intergenerational leadership exchange and learning. This builds upon the creation of the Global Youth Security Council for Existential Threats in 2023, by One Young World in partnership with the InterAction Council.
