Sprawiedliwe społeczeństwo i światowy pokój to ideały, które dotychczas pozostają nieosiągalne. O tej smutnej rzeczywistości świadczą fakty historyczne. Liczne opracowania ukazują, że w samym dwudziestym stuleciu, w którym doszło do dwóch wojen światowych, w ich wyniku, a także wskutek wszelkich innych konfliktów, prześladowań i okrucieństw śmierć poniosło dwieście milionów ludzi. Ludzkość nie przestaje jednak marzyć o osiągnięciu ideałów, którymi są sprawiedliwość i pokój. Dowodem tego pragnienia są liczne deklaracje i rezolucje dotyczące pokoju, a także propozycje dróg wypracowania społeczeństwa sprawiedliwego. Nietrudno dostrzec, że kultura pokoju i społeczeństwo sprawiedliwe to ideały, które są ze sobą splecione. Z perspektywy chrześcijańskiej, w oparciu o nauczanie społeczne Kościoła, proponuję z jednej strony pewne fundamentalne zasady, które mogą służyć jako podstawa do budowy sprawiedliwego społeczeństwa humanitarnego, z drugiej zaś konkretne inicjatywy i sposoby działania pozwalające na promocję kultury pokoju i społeczeństwa sprawiedliwego. Formowanie społeczeństwa sprawiedliwego, humanitarnego, i promowanie kultury pokoju to proces żmudny, zważywszy na fakt, że mamy za sobą historię pełną zmagań i transformacji, którą naznaczyła przemoc. Pokój pozostaje jednak nadzieją ludzkości na radosne i szczęśliwe życie w świecie doczesnym.
